Well, go do something about the Nazis and people will stop talking about them. If you want a feed to the world outside of your head, thay means dealing what what everyone else is talking about.

You can always just go jerk off in the shower and STFU about it

There are many cases of authoritarians claiming labels that so not reflect their actions or goals, yes.

Federation takes time

Recommendation engines aren’t the biggest issue. People will figure out how to fins what they want, and be generally happy with that, if looking is easy enough.

The big issue is that “join the fediverse” is a really, really shitty and incomplete recommendation. It’s like “join the blogosphere!”

And “join Mastodon” or “join Lemmy” is bad, too. It’s like asking them to “join Joomla”.

You need to point people to the specific website they should join, and that website has to already have what they’re looking for. People aren’t interested in building something.

They just want to consume.

“I don’t want AOLers on the web. The open internet should just be for us enlightened few”

JFC, * don’t want you pricks on the fedi. Can’t you go back to BBSes or something and wank each other there?

Your freedom to worship (or not) doesn’t mean you’re free from the social consequences, though

3D IMAX was way later to using circular polarizers (if they ever switched). Were you only watching 3D in IMAX?

Yes! That’s how they can unionize now.

Eh. People should take things as seriously as they feel they should. A lot of actually important shit, that challenges real and significant injustices, gets shut down with “don’t take things so seriously”. We don’t need to turn discussing our feelings about the world into an “I’m so chill” competition.

But also, people need to understand - on both sides of the utterance - that “I find this offensive” is an informational statement, not a demand for action. If I find something you’ve said offensive, that’s information that is now yours to weigh as you please. If you don’t care to understand why, or decide that my feelings don’t outweigh whatever else you’re trying to do, then you’re now making that decision with a little bit of extra feedback.

Getting defensive about someone not liking what you’ve done is on you.

Nah. They just believe it will make stock values increase (or that not doing thr AI thing will cause stock values to decrease).

Remember, a publically traded company produces shareholder value. How they do it doesn’t matter.
