Congrats, That is the most obvious and intentional wooosh I’ve ever seen.

and I bet you think you’re so clever with it.

Just go join threads. I’m sure its full of people just like you. You’ll feel right at home with other people who feel the need to loudly announce departures and pretending to put people on ignore.

No, its people capable of looking back and recognizing mistakes that were made, and not wanting to repeat them.

Meanwhile a bunch of corporate white knights are screaming about how its unfair to be mean to billion dollar companies, and how they totally wont do the the destructive, exploitative bullshit this time, that they’ve done every other time in the past.

“Stop letting other people make decisions for you”

“If you do X I am leaving”

Maybe you should stop letting people make decisions for you.

Be bold, be brave, and just go ahead and leave now.

Just cause someone is competent or intelligent, doesnt mean they are smart or wise.

Its about the money, but the money in the long term.

They will gladly sacrifice short term money, by strangling or usurping anything they perceive as a possible competitor and threat to their long term money.

because as long as they sit on the top and kill everything beneath them, the long term money will always come.

how DARE you miss 6 months? This just proves how righteous and noble facebook is if you have to lie about it!

/s

Its not real language.

Its some bullshit cooked up by internet trolls, and accepted and used by right wing propagandists, as the latest thing to use to try and paint gay people as pedophiles.

When, historically, we know the actual pedophiles are the ones falsely claiming gays are the danger to children.

being able to post to other communities, and actually doing it, are two entirely seperate things. I’d wager a lot of lemmy posters will stay confined to their own instance.

Especially if they end up following a post to a very problematic instance

classic Open Source software problem.

“Can we have one big community where we work together?”

“NO, FUCK YOU, GOING TO GO MAKE MY OWN FORK/INSTANCE, WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!”

repeat ad nauseam until the population/manpower is stretched so thin as to be beyond the breaking point.

I bet you also believe America sent genetically engineered super mutants soldiers to Ukraine to overthrow Russian freedumbs.

Don’t usually see this much autofellatio without a @lemmygrad or @hexbear following the username.

Excuse me for giving you the benefit of the doubt of just typing .com by habit, instead of assuming you are trying to actually, legitimately talk about a site that doesnt exist.

Theres literally posts from lemmygrad on the front page of lemmy dot ml local right now right now.

I mean, if you’re gonna lie about it, you could at least lie in a way thats not provably false. https://defed.xyz/check/lemmy.ml

also, dot ml is one of the lemmies i frequented (well, used to, until the tankies became such a fucking problem), so I can tell you from personal experience that lemmygraders are there, in droves, and posting constantly, from their lemmygrad accounts.

Lemmy dot ml is like, one step away from becoming another Lemmygrad.

and I think thats probably by design, Since lemmygrad is defederated from a lot of the better instances, what better way to get back into them than to take over a federated instance.

Especially when the admins and lemmy creators are down with your tankie ideology and support you taking over the instance.

Because everyone has stuff to hide. You dont have to have criminal activity, ongoing or in your past, to want to keep your privacy and keep things hidden. I always counter with “Okay, then lets paint your social security number on the side of your car if you have nothing to hide”, and they always stammer and stutter about how thats different and that would cause them no end of headache if someone got it and stole their identity.

And yes, thats the point. You have stuff you want to protect and keep others from knowing. Not just for identity theft reasons, but for social reasons as well… You probably don’t want your spouse to know how much you hate their sibling for no reason, or want your boss to hear what you say about them at home, You dont want people at the bagel shop to know your bank account number and password, Or any of a thousand other things that you do every day, that you dont want other people to know about.

The Average person, in my experience, doesnt give a shit about their privacy…because they are stuck on the notion of “what do I have to hide? I didnt do anything wrong!” with a heaping helping of not wanting to give up convenience on top of it.

And all attempts to explain them that you dont have to have anything to hide for your privacy to be important and be protected fall on deaf ears and accusations that you, the one trying to protect them must be some kind of bad/evil/criminal person to be that concerned with privacy.

These people tend to be absolute delights to deal with when their shit gets stolen, and they expect everyone else to fix it for them.
