"The revelation will place Lord Cameron and prime minister Rishi Sunak under intense pressure because any such legal advice would mean the UK had to cease all arms sales to Israel without delay."

#Palestine #Gaza #Israel #UK

The racist, apartheid murdererous and genocidal regime that calls itself #Israel are the absolute filth of humanity.

They have slaughtered a whole generation of Palestinians with the full support and help of the corrupt UK and US governments.

There must be people in both the US and UK, sent to the Hague, tried and then jailed for life for enabling such heinous activities.

The same must happen to those who helped exterminate the Palestinians as it did to those who orchestrated the Holocaust.

Moderation standards on atomicpoet.org are unchanged.

But that’s beside the point. I own my server, and you don’t. Therefore, I decide who and what my server operates with—not you.

As for whether or not popularity impacts who I interact with. Not really—but network effect certainly does.

My family is likely to join Threads. They’re not so likely to join QQ. Despite QQ being more popular than Threads, federating with Threads has a bigger impact on me due to its network effect on my life.

What some extremists fail to realize is that talking to my mother is more important to me than talking to some random dude from mas.to. Sorry, but I’m not sorry. To me, my mother takes precedence.

But beyond that, people I know realize that I’ve been working on decentralized social media for years. All this time, I’ve pushed for them to leave Meta’s services. Mostly they haven’t done it. Them seeing that it’s possible to interact with me while they use Threads—and I don’t—is a big step towards them realizing that decentralized social media is not just real but practical.

I have priorities. When it comes to social interactions, family and friends come first. Sure, I have left Facebook and Instagram, but if there’s an opportunity to communicate with those services without using them, I will take it.

Reminder to anyone who said "Meta wouldn't do anything to Fediverse, we should let them join!"

Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

Just remember, *Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them.* We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.

If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.

And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.

EDIT: *Please* send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.

EDIT #2: Some peppe are saying it doesn't happen anymore, but since it *only* happened to competitors to Facebook and only *after* people noticed, I don't think it was a "bug" that only impacted FOSS replacements, but a feature for Facebook removed. Don't give these Zuckers gaslight and think they remain innocent.
