Imagine arguing empathy is bad.

Microsoft did this with Office document formats, effectively killing OpenDocument and dramatically reducing the power of LibreOffice, etc. Threads will incorporate features that are not available in the open source versions of lemmy, driving users to their platform and marginalizing the open source versions. All the while sucking up user data and ignoring user privacy. Are we not stewards for user privacy for ALL users, not just the savvy ones?

Where have you read that lemmyworld has no intention of blocking Threads? I will leave as well if true.

Please remember the example of Microsoft and open source office document formats. And in the early days of Internet Explorer with HTML. The risk here is that Threads will embrace the fediverse for a bit. Then they will incorporate features that are only available in Threads that will bleed users away from the open source options. All the while vacuuming up user data for profit while having distain for user privacy. Why would we want to allow them to cast aside the privacy for only one of our users? Are we not going to act like stewards for open source and protection of user privacy?

Completely agree - If lemmy.world doesn't block very shortly I will move to a different instance.

They have had this debate in court nearly 100 times and have never proven anything.

Meanwhile, out of 160 million votes, there were 2 cases of fraud from Trump voters.

The descent to fascism is steep and at this point I’m not sure imprisoning Trump will have an effect. Look at what Texas and Ken Paxton did in negating over 2 million mail in ballots that would have won Texas for both Biden and Beto.

Does he want to teach the history of slavery without mentioning skin color too?

Denying the history of racial discrimination is racism by proxy.

Thoughts and prayers!
