Great find, saving these.

I’ve found it pretty easy to avoid with a bit of curation but I understand they’re a “necessary” evil that comes with every major user migration.

What a ridiculous title, article and post.

Yet another clue as to why Google search sucks as time goes on.

I just want a talking dolphin, is that so much to ask?

All the tasty data collection and surveillance with none of the calories.

Historical precedent and #2/#3 on my list above make the case for erring on the side of caution. That and we’ve got far more to lose than to gain.

Whichever way instances decide to go there’s a few things people should remember:

• We’re lucky to have this option even if it’s divisive at times.
• It’s not always about what we know will happen, sometimes it’s concern over possibilities we couldn’t even imagine at the time.
• Growth is great but there’s infrastructure, moderators and policies that can be overwhelmed.
• Defederation can be reversed at any time if things change.

I did not. The wording is based on how this matches his past statements. In this case, he’s being consistent and I can’t hate on that.

I can, however, hate the monetary support we’re sending there and dozens of other things.

And? They weren’t downvoting the president, they were pushing down legitimate information that was specifically asked for by a non-American. Historical even.

Not everything is a dog whistle and this isn’t even sly or hidden, he outright admits it and always has. Sheesh.

That you and the other comment about this are massively downvoted despite being accurate really shows how Lemmy is changing.

I get it, they may not like what the truth stands for or that there’s nuance here, with POTUS recent words and actions setting a poor standard. The whole situation certainly sucks but so does the knee-jerk reactions on many of these threads.

He’s been saying it for decades (literally), it’s only now that it garners so much attention. Look, I can find 100 reasons to dislike the guy but being consistent isn’t one of them.

Love these posts.

Thanks, that original article was terrible.

Doesn’t seem to work in Thunder but that sounds handy otherwise.
