I’m not sure I’d agree that FS comes off as perfectly reasonable because I do get a pretty strong beg me to stay or I’ll leave vibe… but I am amused that OP here read that thread and decided that FS was the aggressor here.

Jesus it’s uncanny.
He’s being handed the keys to a government position allowing him to make decisions that will impact American lives, potentially with impacts to others as well; for the first time ever caring about what he thinks is actually wise.
I was also born in ‘84; the 90’s were pretty rad though for a kid so the doom and gloom didn’t really start until around 9/11 for me.
I am entirely convinced the “person” you’re responding to is just trying to make the “SJWs” sound hyperbolically insufferable, and is either a bad actor or a straight up bot. Probably best not to engage.
I mean, ATP has only been around for two years, mastodon has been around for 8 years with 6 years of development on AP.
Development takes time, I feel like “show it to me now or it’s a lie” is a poor take.
Yep. We all need to see it for the dog whistle it is.
It was about states rights.
States rights to do a slavery.
It’s important to remember that, because fascists are currently pulling the “states rights” card again and the context of what it actually meant last time is horrifying/helpful.
We should stop trying to separate the two arguments because they’re the same argument and its dangerous to pretend they aren’t.
Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.
Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?
The Manhattan Project? Really? We’re just openly comparing Trump initiatives to wartime efforts to create weapons of cataclysmic power? An initiative that changed global politics by further pushing it into fear?
Putting all that aside, a project that would have cost $27 BILLION dollars today? That’s “government efficiency”?
It’s so stupid I can’t even find it funny.
