well my kindergarten teacher helped teach me how to read, that one was pretty significant

true but not funny

Blaming “the west” for shit that happened in the past doesn’t achieve anything, even if you are right. All humans can be corrupted and all governments have corruption.

Now instead of listing random events without explaining any sort of connection to the vague “evil west”, why don’t you explain how your warmonger Russia and your genocidal Chinese governments are any better?

“drama”? that faq thing doesn’t change the fact that we don’t respect meta and don’t want to share a platform with them

and it’s no surprise the authors of the software are supportive of its mass adoption, that doesn’t mean I have to tolerate a shitty company

being open to everything is not better though, and being open to meta specifically will threaten and lower the quality of the place. lemmy.world should defederate with threads

Why would you spend this much time writing up an argument defending authoritarian governments? I genuinely don’t understand why you would decide to waste your time with this. Yeah I don’t like America either but these communist countries are equally if not more evil. The USSR is dead so I don’t know why you’re debating people about their irrelevant staristics

Mostly because I don’t like meta and have made a point not to use any of the platforms related to them. I don’t respect them and don’t want their content or their creators to be a part of my fediverse.

and? that’s inconsequential it’s a different platform

Yeah imo this is the only way. Fediverse should be completely user-owned, we need to isolate any corporation that tries to get involved.
