  • What I don't understand is why you don't support us using our voices to support defederation.

    Because you should let us adults decide for ourselves personally what content we want to see here, not attempt to block and censor stuff JUST BECAUSE TOU DON’T LIKE IT.

    Let people choose for themselves, that’s all I’ve ever been advocating for here, user choice.

    If the people overwhelmingly want it defederated from their preferred servers, then do it.

    I don’t ultimately care if servers decide to block it, as long as it’s done properly.

    People here deserve to have that choice, that was always the point of decentralization.

  • Or you could just not ask your admin to block Threads for everyone else if you personally don’t want to see it.

    Seems pretty straightforward which option leaves users the choice to decide for themselves what they want to see.

    That way neither of us has to pretend to give a fuck what the other thinks. Hooray!

  • If you can't find an instance to follow that federates with them, then that just means the thing you want is deeply, deeply unpopular.

    MFer how you expect me to find any if you keep going around begging them to wholesale block access.

    Just don’t subscribe to it, or block it yourself! You don’t get to decide for everyone else what content they can access here

  • “We need to defederate from them” is not a petition…

    Also, you could just choose not to subscribe to them, go to a place where they are defederated, or even just block them yourself with the right apps.

    That’s a whole lot of choice for you in a platform based around decentralization and user choice.

    But on the flip side if you just make everyone defederate them, then you’re removing user choice completely just based on your personal feelings on the matter.

    That doesn’t seem fair to me just because you personally hate something that I don’t.

  • From your own sources:

    Neuralink treats animals quite well compared with other research facilities, employees said in interviews, echoing public statements by Musk and other executives. Company leaders have boasted internally of building a “Monkey Disneyland” in the company’s Austin, Texas, facility where lab animals can roam, a former employee said. In the company’s early years, Musk told employees he wanted the monkeys at his San Francisco Bay Area operation to live in a “monkey Taj Mahal”, said a former employee who heard the comment. Another former employee recalled Musk saying he disliked using animals for research but wanted to make sure they were “the happiest animals” while alive.
