This isn’t new. They’ve always wanted this. The only new thing is that now they feel emboldened to actually do it.
And every single person who feels safe right now because this isn’t affecting them is in for a very rude awakening.
I live in Texas. I know these people. They think American = white, cis, straight, conservative. They will stop at nothing. They don’t care who gets hurt.
Joke’s on them, nobody ever talks to me.
Absolutely not, and it was a 13 year old account too. My only regret is not doing it sooner tbh.
Frankly, I think they’re being laughably naive >.<
The creator of Mastodon went to some kind of Meta round table meeting (couldn’t find the original thread, here’s someone declining the offer), so it’s entirely possible that he was told a bunch of lies and believed them.
That said, Meta is going to pay the admins of whatever instances Threads decides to federate with, and they’ve said that’ll be the biggest instances, which… well, that’s mastodon.social, by far the biggest Mastodon instance. So, I don’t know. I don’t have any reason to believe that he’s a bad person, but what kind of money are we talking about here? No one is immune to that kind of temptation.
I dunno, this whole situation has a weird vibe.
Pathetic tbh. I doubt most of us who left would go back anyway. Fuck spez.
I just dropped this one on my husband. I made it seem like it was an actual headline I’d just seen on my phone. I think he’s looking for a divorce lawyer now.
I regret nothing.
Yeah no he ain’t fine. I’ve taken care of elderly people before, I’ve seen that look. I’m not saying he’s dying or anything, but that man is not well. Something very serious is going on with him.
