@redegelde meta is joining the fedi, most admins are bootlicking and almost to the point of having under the blanket meetings with the corporation and signing NDAs
free-market, just like openweb, without any communal regulation or federating governance, welcomes colonial and capitalist incursions into communal safe spaces.
this is also the difference, i suppose, between FOSS and OSS.
A lot of admins of larger Mastodon (and other Fediverse) servers are showing excitement for Meta launching an App in the Fediverse. Their reasoning mostly being "growing the Protocol is good!". Most feedback, is met with different versions of "growth is good". I want to take a minute to push back on this narrative that all growth is inherently good, because it absolutely is not. This type of thinking stems from the Silicon Valley VC crowd, where they pursue growth at all costs.
@fancysandwiches@PricklyHeart social.chinwag.org has promised to preemptively block them. mike is a good dude. i would transfer to his account if i could make sure i wouldnt get blocked because of my explicit language
@tchambers@jdp23@fancysandwiches what part of corporate propaganda are we not understanding? every corporate platform that hasnt unmasked keeps talking ahout their commitments while we keep getting reports after reports of their abuse and violence?
No for real though, where the fuck are indians on the #internet ? reddit? twitter (fuck that demographic of indians) ? facebook ?
I do know that a huge chunk of indians are on #instagram, but what the fuck? why are there so many less of us here on the fedi? the #tumblr side is just mostly bollywood or soap opera stuff which im not really into, so...
