Why are people so horny for federating with fb/meta? If you want to see their shit just join them.

Like who are you talking about, exactly?

I've seen like 1 person and they weren't super enthusiastic, just said it was generally a good thing.

And some other people who are mostly just meh about it at most.

Users ≠ Company

But they are inseparable.

As in you're using the service, but that doesn't mean you two are one and make the same decisions.

But you support/validate the service by interacting with your contacts.

Let's put it this way: Just because they live under an oppressive regime doesn't mean we should be mean to them and keep them isolated in their evil bubble.

It’s not being mean to them. Calling them names or something would be mean.

And they are not oppressed. Oppressed people don’t have choices.

Say, many would agree that Han people in China are oppressed. They have a ton of middle-class citizens who are free to leave the country, they just don't want to permanently due to not thinking it'd be better.

Same applies to Threads, though maybe a stronger case for leaving.

I’m not having a conversation that compares people signing up to their favourite social media channel with people who suffer systemic discrimination every day in their lives.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Han people are the main ethnicity of China; they aren’t the Uyghurs, if that’s what you mean
