that’s not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there’s a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on
the “one single account” thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation
tbf, that’s just microblogging in a nutshell

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he’s just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier
like it’s really weird that it wasn’t clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn’t be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn’t see how shitty he was after he said that
tbf, grimes is not better
would expect both of them to be less like this if that were the case
WE as humans are the problem.
you can count the owners of the entities that produce the most greenhouse gases within 3 digits; it’s not “everybody”
although it’s very common for the earlier generation to blame the later generation for the world sucking (or what they percieve as “sucking”), in this case it doesn’t work because not every boomer and gen-x-er is a CEO or past CEO
like they’re wrong to blame the later generations for this, but that’s because it’s not mainly a generational thing
but the thing about voting is that basically every politician is either:
so we could vote for John StopClimateChange, and then find out that every single thing that Mr. StopClimateChange said about his crusade to stopping climate change was not at all true or was so utterly miniscule in the long run as to be meaningless
then what?
and guess who lobbies a ridiculous amount to either keep the rules the same or bias it further towards their interests
yep, corporations once again
why is this man like this
tbf, it’s definitely a thing that is genuinely being discussed about in a non-“why can’t I just say the slur” way
edit: and by “discussed” I mean people who aren’t white discussing it
perhaps they can do more than that, even
you know, it’s really funny that every time someone goes “I don’t care about <XYZ>'s open political opinions, only that they keep doing/making the thing I want” they invariably end up being some kind of right-winger
I did not know minecoins were a thing
but in any case, I’m not saying that they’re making a good decision, just that I don’t see the point of reddit gold
yeah, like OP isn’t realizing that they’re going to just make another Twitter
if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you’ll have a nazi bar
Also not all people share your political opinions.
how are you going to call “this group shouldn’t have the rights that everyone else has” something as quaint as a “political opinion”
on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo
other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao
then the question is why the hell did you make an account on an instance that doesn’t want to interact with NSFW content (presumably it’s in their rules) when you want to interact with NSFW content; like I don’t see why you’d do that if you knew the rules beforehand
you know that this “I don’t care that this person holds bigoted beliefs and thinks that some people shouldn’t have rights, they make the good computer program so who cares” attitude is why so many people think that tech guys are reactionary, right?
this is not going to work like you want it; check out the “nazi bar” example
tumblr isn’t dead??
