I’m not into US politics other than the basics, but let me tell every American that the consequences of something like this happening will be catastrophic, and then you’ll “fight” China alone, if not with more opponents.

Trump was already a huge liability to European foreign policy, if it happens again, the EU will dissociate from the US, weaponize and go nuclear. The eastern countries will enter direct conflict with Russia eventually (sooner than later), and the whole continent will get dragged into the war. At the end who ever is left will not support the US, actively be against it, and have nuclear weapons.

But, but, EEE and that blog from a dude talking about XMPP… Also, Enshitify.

There’s a lot of people here making demands on the behalf of others. I mostly don’t care if Threads is defederated or not, there are pros and cons, but I REALLY don’t like this self righteous imposing arguments I see here, and while I love the idea of the fediverse its clear that humans will keep being tribal, and there’s no solution for that.
