Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta’s intrusion in the fediverse, some don’t see the danger in it or think it’s unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse.
Someone posted this in the comments and I think it’s extremely relevant and it deserves its own post so all can see it.
All you had to do was to tell me it’s like the “Why the bartender kicked the Nazi out” story but for internet stuff.
It’s colonialism 101, baby… they show up with smiles on their faces and as soon as you let them in you find out what they truly are the hard way. Meta can go fuck itself.
Remember to use proper form when punching nazis. Don’t hurt yourself!
Make sure the thumb is outside the fingers :)
And not in the “thumbs up” position: that could break your thumb. Your thumb should be in front of your four curled fingers.
It’s exactly the same. and also the reason why we want to defederate Nazi (and KKK, white supremacist, etc) instances. It’s for our own defense.
I mean we have literally a cyber nuke called killing their brand safety… Making houndeds of instances that host hate speech, semi child porn (ai generated of course) or are so toxic that you cant make money with their content…
