It’s very interesting to see who in the fediverse is falling in line behind Silicon Valley and Big Tech and who is not.

And no, we can’t all just get along.

Big Tech is the antithesis of the cooperative and humanitarian values of federation and decentralisation. You can either be an apologist for surveillance capitalists or support the nascent ethical alternatives to their toxic business model that’s detrimental to human rights and democracy.

Pick a side. History will remember your choice.

@aral lol... I think the point of federation is we don't have to align to a binary framework of we don't want to.

@mpoletiek @aral Yeah. I don't get what the fuss is about. Defederate them if you want (you most likely do), don't if you don't want to. This is the point of freedom in FOSS. Freedom includes the ability to do shitty things, and it includes you not having to talk to them because of that. Simple.
