Wow very convincing. thank you, directly calling me an idiot without addressing the core of my argument really has brought me over to your way of thinking

I very deliberately said "in general", i did not say "in all cases whatsoever".

For health insurance there is a replacement ready, the answer is to have Medicare do everything.

I didn't make any arguements about this specific situation? Murder in general is bad

The problem is that there's no clear endpoint of that thought process. The number of people that exact thought process applies to would require a level of violence that I doubt anybody sane wants.

Edit: to be more precise here. I'm leery about trying to apply the logic of individual self-defense to broader questions about social murder. The entire system is complicit, but if we go to burn the system down without a replacement ready we'll end up sorrounded by nothing but ash and corpses

Honestly I think the drama is a fundamental outgrowth of the way we think about a "feed". The setup was devised to give people more reason to stay online exposed to advertising, in expense of an overall positive experience. But that's sort speculation and I wouldn't be able to point to specifics.

I don't know what you mean here

I could understand an NDA if you're talking about the particulars of the backend, but the fact that we don't know what the NDA contains, AND the author of the entire protocol hasn't been approached doesn't bode well (https://octodon.social/@cwebber/110567421460454488)
