"Jeffrey doesn't always eat people. Just sometimes. We should totally go clubbing with him and spurn him later if he eats one of us."

You understand that no matter how much you kneel down to service Meta, Zuck the Fuck won't be trickling anything down on you that isn't a bodily fluid, right?

And hey, I'm not going to kink-shame. Just pointing out that if that isn't your specific kink, you might want to wake up to there being zero dollars trickling down to you.

"Yes, Jeffrey has, in the past, killed and eaten gay men. But we should wait and see. It's impolite not to invite him to the party!"

It will always be ... a name that doesn't exist and has never existed?

(Hint: BURMA. It's hard to sound smart when you can't even get a single fucking name right! Especially the name that "it will always be" for you. Holy fucking shit!)

Their direct fault? No. But they sure as fuck share a lot of the blame in pouring gasoline on the fire.

You know, you have access to search engines too. You don't need to be lazy and treat the rest of the Internet as your personal stenographer/research assistant.

Fucking HELL, despite how increasingly easy it is to find information, it cannot keep pace with just how utterly fucking lazy people are getting.

There was an interesting paired poll done, asking about federation with Threads and federation with Tumblr.

66% of people were wary of or actively opposed federating with Threads. Fewer than 20% were wary of or actively opposed federating with Tumblr.

It's not "defederate from every corporate player". It's passing this message on to Meta:

The issue with Facebook and the Rohingya isn't just that they "didn't moderate properly". It's that they knew for a long time that it was a problem and chose to ignore it. Note those last four words: chose to ignore it. In that other thing I posted I linked to someone who brought the receipts. The higher-ups at Facebook at the time knew this was happening and chose to put their corporate goals over literally tens of thousands of lives. This is inexcusable.

The simple solution is to keep Meta contained. To shun those who support it with their labour, their money, or their personal information (indirectly money). I don't want to interact with quislings and I won't. Nor should anybody else repelled at their complete and utter apathy in the face of mass murder and genocide.

(Note: Twitter was no better. Fucking Jack "Dipshit" Dorsey was in Myanmar meditating with the very same Buddhist fucks that were behind the Rohingya genocide, singing out their praises all while this was going on.)

It wasn't an analogy. Let's add "using a dictionary" to the list of skills you need to develop.

China too, sadly.

Maybe he should open the trial run in Sachs Harbour to form the Sachs Harbour Institute of Technology.

It would be a proper appellation for anything he makes.

He was never able to think clearly. Read what his former partners (business and otherwise) have to say about him.

Musk University! The jokes write themselves!

ActivityPub should be an open protocol, yes. Just like, say, mail is an open "protocol".

You're still prohibited from sending child pornography, explosives, dangerous chemicals, etc. through the mail.

Gee, I wonder how that works!

May I recommend thought? It does wonders for not making you look like you wear clown pants.

I think the problem here is that Zuck the Fuck enabled genocide of brown-skinned people so white-skinned people half a world away don't give a shit. But ELON BROKE TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

And Twitter was important to the white folk half a world away, so naturally Elon is Teh Devvil and Zuck the Fuck is just a nerd.

But I don’t want to exclude a bunch of people just because they decided to use a server owned by meta.

I do.

I acknowledge that they have also been an accessory to a lot of toxic shit, such as political/emotional manipulation, privacy and user data violations, etc.

Let's not forget war crimes and genocide.

Meta are war criminals. Period.

If you support Meta attaching to the fediverse, you are welcoming war criminals and their quislings to becoming part of the fediverse.

I sincerely hope most of us in the fediverse are better than that or I'm going to have to search for a new social media home.

I read it ages ago when it first came out in paperback (which means, sadly,without the music).

I really enjoyed it, but it was very slow reading.

See, this is the less entitled, more thoughtful way of saying what OP said. There's no question that road planning is haphazard and ridiculous, and further that a lot of such planning is done on dark patterns like maximizing income from legal penalties. But that is what should be fought, not "HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME SLOW DOWN NEXT TO WHERE IMPULSIVE SMALL HUMANS WITH THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A GNAT ARE LIKELY TO BE RUNNING AROUND!?"
