And here we see an aggressive communist in the wild. You have a good day, dude

I think that’s awful an immature behavior. When you fight idiocy with aggression (at least on social media) you just get idiots who think they must be right and start truth social or something

I don’t think they want to do that anyway. If fox isn’t being put on blast, CNN is next.

I may be wrong, but I don’t see socialism and capitalism as hard opposites.

I see capitalism and communism are like hard opposites with socialism somewhere in between.

Bias and obvious bias

I keep my rig at my desk, so I wanted to avoid using a torch.

I use this at about 490 F

Maybe that’s still too hot

Maybe the fact that it holds that exact temperature for the whole session has something to do with it, now that I think about it.

That’s nice, dear

No

Yeah, but you can exclude your way to having a non representative jury… which happens very often.

The lawyers on both sides have influence on who gets into the jury. If the jury had such an overwhelming bias, then the lawyers are to blame…. As always

Run on, sentences make very, hard for others to understand the, point you’re trying, to make.

That infosec post up some good points.

The issue I see is that defederating them doesn’t resolve any of the issues they pointed out. Meta is still able to see most information in the fediverse, their built in user base is so large, that it makes the fediverse look totally empty by comparison. I don’t think we realistically prevent much disinformation by walking them off (though we do prevent some)

I just think it’s such a missed opportunity to grow the fediverse. Like now we’re 100% certain that threads users won’t take part in the larger lemmy communities at all.

EEE is a real thing, but it’s a balance act. You can be embraced and extended without being extinguished as long as you do it carefully (I mean look at some of the open source projects of the past decade. Typescript, bucklescript, react, electron and even companies like GitHub, which M$ owns, but hasn’t been mucking up too badly)

Maybe defederating for now is the right move, so the fediverse has time to grow into its own, but I don’t think “meta evil” is a good enough reason to just block out potentially billions of potential fediverse participants is all.
