The fediverse just needs time to grow. It's still a very new thing. Growth will take a long time, but the fediverse needs to be an alternative to corporate social media, not integrated with and dependent on it.

It will be more difficult and damaging to defederate later when Meta starts throwing its weight around, because people will become accustomed to a much larger community. The fact that threads has many more users will give Meta disproportionate power over the fediverse, but unlike other open source/free projects, their only goals are to profit and gain more influence over society.

It's best to never federate with them, even if that means losing growth opportunities in the short term.

I agree, but I want to clarify. It's not about making this material harder to access. It's about not deliberately serving that material to people who weren't looking it up in the first place in order to get more clicks.

There's a huge difference between a user looking up extreme content on purpose and social media serving extreme content to unsuspecting people because the company knows it will upset them.

Bullshit. There's no slippery slope here. You act like these social media companies just stumbled onto algorithms. They didn't, they designed these intentionally to drive engagement up.

Demanding that they change their algorithms to stop intentionally driving negativity and extremism isn't dystopian at all, and it's very frustrating that you think it is. If you choose to do nothing about this issue I promise you we'll be living in a fascist nation within 10 years, and it won't be an accident.

For real. They haven't actually done shit yet. All these shills posting articles about Biden ordering the rescheduling prices to begin doesn't mean shit. It's literally the bare minimum he can do.

The DEA will keep it illegal and Biden won't do shit to retaliate, he'll say his hands are tied and the Democrat trash here will actually defend him for it.

If he actually wanted to legalize he'd fire the heads of these agencies and replace them with people who are supportive. Guess what, he's not doing that. The best we'll get schedule 3 which is still illegal.

Biden doesn't give a flying fuck about legalizing weed and never has. No amount of neolib gaslighting bullshit is going to change that. Always funny how Republican presidents do whatever the fuck they want but the second anyone talks about progressive policy our hands are tied. Not to mention Biden is illegally giving weapons to Israel.

Neolibs will always argue "the president can't do that" when it comes to progressive policy. Then they won't even pressure him to use the bully pulpit which is the president's greatest power. You've all been convinced that nothing can ever be done for you, and it's a blatant fucking lie.

Because they knew the new teams is a buggy piece of shit and people would need an alternative

She isn't doing any damage to Trump. When will people figure out that he's an actual cult leader? His base is immune to criticism.

71% of all adults say DEI is important but your take is that it's a divisive topic?
