Anyone who has seen the horrors of these sites knew this instinctively.

Nice to see it confirmed but holy shit. You’d have to be blind and deaf and have no sense of smell to not at least think twice about whether you are at a tarsands site, or in an incarnation of hell.

I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

I stopped going to my favorite breakfast resto because every morning during the wildfires they would be loudly bloviating on how Trudeau was out starting these fires to block out the sun and make it harder to grow food so that we’d be beholden to the government just to eat.

I don’t relish the idea of adding insanity as a spice to my eggs and bacon. But maybe it will be time to go back for one more cup of coffee and ask their opinion on this shithead’s escapades.

I mean… I’m not the OP but I don’t think people against meta/threads fear their idiot userbase. We just don’t want to deal with them. At all. Anywhere.

Or we’d have joined threads.

I don’t think I was confusing the defed from blocking, I was confused about what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.

I am given to understand that I will still see the comments from threads users on lemmy. Just not the posts from threads.

Like I said, I don’t care what others do. But for me the correct answer is to not interact with users from that platform.

When I start seeing threads users in .world lemmy comment sections I will block .world.

My pleasure. TMYK!

I’m not comfortable with assuming the dregs of Facebook will leave Lemmy alone. I’ll stick to instances that have defederated and I’ll actively block instances that don’t.

I’m not out here trying to stop you from being on federated instances or anyone else. But I will not personally support instances that allow that monster into the ecosystem.

Fair. But I’m on lemmy for discussion. I don’t want threads’ bobbleheaded userbase fucking up every discussion thread on lemmy. So I will stay on instances that have de-federated that shithole and urge other instances to do the same.

Not quite the same result. Blocking the instance stops you seeing their posts, but not the comments coming from their users.

Meanwhile, you have foreign buyers putting in illegal 9 unit apartments in a duplex and taking advantage of the people who don’t have means to fight them. And the board has a two year waitlist for hearing complaints.

Good. I knew too many of these pieces of shit living in AB. It is about time some of them get some comeuppance.

We do things for other people because they do give something back in return

This is not how I make decisions. That is why I asked the question. The rest of your comment is predicated on that statement and as such, is not worth much to me.

Thanks for the reply, though. I appreciate the effort. I simply disagree and can’t imagine a middle-ground that could be reached by continuing the conversation.

All snark aside. Do you really believe that every human is motivated by capital profit?

Are you 5? This is the attitude of a 5 year old who can’t stand that Timmy’s tonka truck is not yours to take.

Thanks. I guess I will have to try to mobilize more people to get off their ass and go vote. So many of the people I know just don’t care enough to vote. But maybe the bitcoin and convoy-fellation facts about this pile of shit will help motivate more.

I have no hope that it will… But if I don’t try, I will hate myself.

This is so infuriating. But so true. Thanks! I think…

Is this true? I have disconnected myself from a lot of political media for the summer while working in the bush, and this caught me by surprise. What the fuck?
