Matt Blaze@lauren I'm not sure I understand the objection. Why should I care, as a reader, what platform someone I follow uses to post, or, as a poster, what platform someone who wants to follow me reads me on?
@mattblaze That you don't understand is why Zuck and friends are getting such a laugh.
@lauren Yes, you're right. I don't understand. I'm not trying to be difficult. I honestly don't understand!
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧Does it help if someone reminds you these are platforms run by Nazi sympathizers and other varieties of fascist?
Or are you being deliberately obtuse?
@f800gecko @lauren Should I conclude you don't have any way of explaining without being deliberately insulting?
I'm sure I'm missing something. But I'm not stupid in general. So what am I missing?

You're just missing some ideological fear and hatred, which Facebook has accumulated not undeservedly.

@kolya @f800gecko @lauren I get that there are ample reasons to mistrust Facebook (which is why I don't personally use it). But I don't see how this is different from any other federated site run by sketchy entities (of which there are already plenty).
@mattblaze @kolya @f800gecko Please name the federated sites operating on a significant for-profit basis. Not talking about just trying to cover costs plus a bit. I mean ads, the whole works. Like Meta.

How would ads be different to the spam and other bad content we already have? Why wouldn't we able to deal with it the same way we do now? @mattblaze @f800gecko
