Let’s show Hilton a little love, shall we?
I don’t know how long this will last — I suspect it is a local thing, not from on high at Hilton Corporate — but we can help out by making standing up look profitable and compliance look costly.

@inthehands it may be due to the activists standing outside hotels that house ICE and banging pots and pans all night.

More coverage via @servelan:
Just to be clear:
This is not just because somebody at Hilton Corporate has a stellar conscience. I mean, somebody there very well might — but that is not the reason for this. Corporations are by and large amoral actors even when the individuals within them are not.
This is surely because of activists banging pots and pans and drum kits outside the Hilton where ICE agents in MSP were staying, making the hotel a nightmare for everyone staying there and thus losing Hilton business.
Keep it up, activists!

@inthehands Oh, that makes sense. I figured it was because they were worried that their employees would wind up deported and they'd have trouble getting new ones, and was surprised that a large corporation would have that much foresight

As several replies have noted, Hilton‘s national leadership is trying to distance themselves from the whole thing — “We welcome everyone! Please don’t come at us!” — and are making it clear this was a local decision.
The problem is that now Hilton is in the spotlight, and if they force the local Hilton to let ICE back in, they’ll put themselves smack in the middle of a national firestorm (like the one Target still hasn’t recovered from…or worse).

Corporate overruled local. Let ‘em have it, folks.

Honestly I’m kind of surprised at this point that that Hilton gets through even a single night without a fire drill.

Hotels should tell all persons wanting govt rates that they need to unlock their social media for five years of inspection before their reservation can be confirmed...

It's cute, I know, but think about it...nearly 100% of these guys advocate for and promote violence, rape, etc. As no doubt other illegal activities. It's a legitimate basis for refusing service to them.

@MissGayle @inthehands I'm all for refusing service. Something, something, "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner..." If they want to cosplay Army, then they should live with the rules.

I don’t think the 3rd Amendment applies here, at least not AIUI, but regardless the •spirit• of this all is solid -

The roberts court will certainly let that stand at their first opportunity.

@inthehands I waited about a half hour on Hilton's digital assistant to supposedly correspond with a real person, although it still felt like I was corresponding with a bot.
One snippet:
Them: We are actively investigating this matter with this individual hotel, and can confirm that Hilton works with governments, law enforcement and community leaders around the world to ensure our properties are open and inviting to everyone.
Me: Hilton is glad the hotel changed its policies, and I'm horrified. No one should be providing accommodations to DHS.
Me: I don't want Hilton to be open and inviting to people at DHS.
But I did get an email to write to: HiltonHonors@Hilton.com

@thegiddystitcher mittens with the ability to cover your thumb, but also free it from the cover when you need to use it FTW!
(at least in our warmer weathers with reasonable temperatures around 0°C rather than way below it where such a hole would be dangerous :D)

It's interesting how much of a difference the interface (client) for some service can make.
Before discovering @MonaApp I rarely used Mastodon just because I hated its web UI. These days I often use Mastodon a bit more than Bluesky mostly because I like desktop apps a bit more than pinned browser windows (or whatever).
Same with some IM apps - I used FB's Messenger a lot (don't judge me too hard, it's super popular in Bulgaria) until they killed its desktop app recently. But I'm old-school and prefer to do my typing on a real keyboard instead of a touch screen.

Metà di un libro ce la mette lo scrittore; l’altra metà ce la mette il lettore.
Un libro è soltanto una partitura, e sono i lettori a interpretarla, e per di più ogni lettore la interpreta a modo suo … https://cctm.website/javier-cercas-spagna/Javier Cercas

/me si sistema bene sulla sedia a dondolo, si aggiusta la copertina sulle gambe e, con la voce un po' sbiascicata di chi stamattina si è infilata male la dentiera
“ah, non c'è già stata l'adozione di massa del fediverso?”
io son qui sul fediverso da qualche annetto in più, l'ho visto ai tempi in cui sul fediverso si poteva parlare solo di due argomenti: fediverso e software libero, e ho anche visto xmpp¹ ai tempi del grande embrace, extend, extinguish² di google, e non credo che un'esodo di massa dai social proprietari al fediverso, fatto adattando il fediverso ai gusti delle masse, servirebbe a togliere potere alle grandi aziende tecnologiche.
semplicemente le grandi aziende entrerebbero nel fediverso, portando tutti i meccanismi tossici dei social commerciali: meta si è già portata avanti per farlo con threads. E se le masse sono arrivate sul fediverso perché era simile ai vecchi social, non hanno nessun motivo per non stare ad esempio su threads, che è più grosso, più familiare come funzionamento e quindi sicuramente migliore. Poi sicuramente rimarrà la nicchia degli irriducibili che sta su server che bloccano la federazione con i server aziendali, ma credo che a quel punto sarebbe ancora più piccola del fediverso attuale, e anziché migliorare si sarebbe tornati indietro.
Non dico che si debba richiedere il test d'ingresso per entrare sul fediverso, che per potersi iscrivere si debba dimostrare di essere capaci di uscire da vi³, anzi, più ostacoli *tecnici* si riescono a superare meglio è (eventualmente anche con soluzioni sociali), ma credo che sia giusto che il fediverso sia per chi compie la scelta consapevole di esserci.
Poi più persone si riescono a convincere a compiere quella scelta consapevole meglio è, ma è un lavoro di convincimento e di educazione dal basso che difficilmente può raggiungere le dimensioni di un esodo in tempi rapidi (sarei felicissima di venire smentita!)
