Simon FrankauI've been watching the conversations around whether or not instances set-up should include a (easily-overridden) default of importing a blocklist for known awful instances.
Those against it pattern match for me with a certain libertarian streak that doesn't want humans making decisions.
In economics, it's the gold standard and free markets. In politics, government is inefficient and should be minimised.

Republicans don't say they hate gay people.
—They say groomers.
—They say pedophiles.
Republicans don't say they hate Jews.
—They say Soros.
—They say New World Order.
Republicans don't say they hate black people.
—They say thugs.
—They say looters.
Republicans don't say they hate Hispanic people.
—They say illegals.
—They say animals.
Republicans don't say they hate women.
—They say sluts.
—They say femoids.
Republicans don't say they hate democracy.
—They say cancel woke.
—They say radical left.
Be very, very careful of any group deliberately using dehumanizing language. Because eventually, when they do finally come for you and everyone you've ever loved...
They won't say they hate you.
—They won't have to say anything at all.

@chrisamico Not gonna lie. I first saw this on my phone, without the social card, and I legit thought for a moment that it was going to be about Mike Reed. Then I read the URL, disappointed.
@chrisamico He might not have been there long, but at least he had the chance to fire lots of people.

☕💻🌨️Apple's announcing a bunch of new tech today, but I can't stop wishing they'd finally announce an Apple E-Bike--not because I could ever afford one, but because it would get a bunch of rich people cycling so cities might actually start building bike lanes.
