wow, what a coincidence, cybrespace is proud to be named a "worlds most skeptical of this claim social media platform" for the third year in a row too! cybre.space/media/Hn-SZXqmUWB5

@chr computer fairies nominated mastodon of the year undefeated since 1963

@squirrel @chr to be fair the maplebots make it very hard to put any challenge up against computer faires. I mean even if you can get past their implacable cuteness and adorableness, they can just like, rush you en masse and welp. Can't be in the runnings if you're buried under a swarm of maplebots....

...not that this is a bad thing. they're /so cute/.

@squirrel @chr but it took a *lot* longer to federate the toots back then, as they had to mount the tapes manually 😸

@chr wtf kinda name is "ethisphere institute"

like i dont personally have any beef with us bank its just... why do they feel the need to claim this so prominently

@chr misdirection from the sketchy stuff banks do?

@chr the perceived ethics of banks are one of the main reasons that people switch banks/credit unions these days, especially among millennials. On its own it's a weird thing to spotlight, but in the grander context, it does make them stand out while competitors are getting into headlines for scandals.

@chr (this is still 100% a marketing stunt tho lol)

@Aros @chr all banks are bad. Join a credit Union.

@chr *looks at the fine print*
so US Bank was proclaimed the mostest ethical by a company owned by
...US Bank?

seems legit

@Sargoth @chr No, the footnotes just sort of run together; after "LLC" it's a bunch of unrelated stuff.

I like the sly use of "a" rather than "the" in the main claim, though.

@chr @Sargoth varx has been voted a World's Most Ethical Human, along with 3.7 billion other recipients.

@varx @chr @Sargoth you're not far off, the field of "World's most Ethical Companies" is 135 this year

@chr Because a lot of banks do a bunch of Sketchy Shit™ such as Wells Fargo employees making fake accounts to hit impossible sales goals, Bank of America almost foreclosing on a guy over less than $5, etc.

@chr Ethisphere™ the Ethics Sphere, an Orb of Morals, declared them the World's Most Ethical™ Companies™ which is literally a registered trademark

Ethisphere by the way is a FOR-PROFIT COMPANY slate.com/articles/business/mo

@shel @chr WHAT THE ACTUAL BONA FIDE FUCK *crylaughing*

@shel @chr im sure you pay them to get on that list.

@shel @chr hello might i buy a few hundred thousand indulgences

@chr really speaks to how unethical all the other banks must be
