"There's nothing we can do, so why try to fight? Pass the lube!" - MOST OF FUCKING GERMANY WHEN HITLER STUCK HIS DICK IN THEIR ASS
Your instance admin is a gutless corpo-slurping cunt and you're his little bitch.
You have to remember that 40% of the US population is onboard with said genocides, so that's not a negative for them.
Then again, they're so imbued with the powers of fetal alcohol syndrome it's a wonder any of them reach voting age and beyond so whatever.
Why does open source software have to do with anything? ActivityPub is a protocol. There's no licensing for it, any more than there is for HTML or POP3 or fuckin... I don't know... Jello shots? You just write your own software that adheres to the standard and BOOM Fediverse. The only "rules" to play by are the parts of the ActivityPub protocol that let you communicate between instances.
In other words, there are no actual rules that mean anything here. Meta's sole intent is to seep into the Fediverse like diarrhea into a bed while the drunken redneck idiot occupying sleeps off his whiskey dick.
You have to be willfully stupid to think they have anything positive to add to the world.
"Defederating won’t save our data" No, but it will sure as shit make it that much more difficult to get to it. You and every other idiot making this stupid fucking point seem to have very little knowledge in how deep Meta's data scraping goes and how much data one particular instance can generate. Do YOU want these cunts generating a complete mental profile of you, determining what products you NEED in your life, and then spinning up a fucking bot to spam you with directed posts about whatever horseshit dick pill or bootleg t-shirt they were paid to promote to you? Want to keep that from happening? Well, you can either ban every bot that posts shit in your direction OR you can defederate the cunts and avoid it altogether.
"Federation saves me from using their app" Why is this even a fucking question? Who gives a shit about their app? Is there actually anything you're missing right now that you just so totally have to fucking see on Threads that you can't get elsewhere? Are you not aware how the internet works and that shit's going to be screentshot and posted to every fucking news outlet if it matters? Are your friends and family so actively stupid they couldn't figure out how to use a slightly different app to post on the instance you created yourself?
"I may have long hair, a beard and a bunch of machines that run GNU/Linux but I’m not Richard Stallman." Well I would HOPE that you wouldn't be a toe-cheese eating CSAM apologist. At least you've got that going for you.
"Federation forces them to play by the rules" AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH~ BAAHAHAHAH!~!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH! HAHA! HAAA! HA. Ha. Hahaha. ha. Good one. Fuck off if you actually believe this.
There is no fucking reason to let these pricks have their way. Fuck them in the ear, then fuck 'em in the other ear.
Because there are millions of fucking idiots that are willing to give a billionaire their personal information as long as they can share cat pictures with grandma.
All of them need to be rejected from society and placed in a temporary holding facility located 10 miles from the Apollo 11 landing site.
Which is precisely why the Fediverse needs to shove a Fedidick straight into Borgboy's nasal cavity immediately.
Fuck Meta, fuck anyone that joins their fucking app, fuck the people that made the app, fuck everyone else that works there and perpetrates this massive fuckoff stain on humanity, fuck Zucc specifically, fuck billionaires generally, fuck yo' couch, and fuck this post.
Nope. You're the USER. A concept that is as old as computing and yet has gone completely by the wayside recently with the corporate monopolization of the internet.
Good to see it making a comeback.
Why the fuck do people equate being vehement with a fucking "bad day." Maybe I'm just not a wallpaper paste motherfucker and have stronger opinions than your average wankbag.
I'm EXTRA STRENGTH WANKBAG.
When was the last fucking time you lined your opponents up against a wall and killed every tenth man?
FUCKING NEVER

Blow yourself some more. Your criticism is 100% invalid and you obviously have no fucking clue what's going on, anywhere, in any context. You're probably confused about the status of your socks, old man. I knew a guy! He wasn't either.
The difference is WHO FUCKING CARES? Do you not fucking get it? The fucking fediverse is not yours, mine, or theirs. If they don't want to be a part of it they DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO.
This is as stupid as shitting yourself in furious anger that a Linux user would dare to use Linux for mathematical computing instead of serving web pages because CLEEEEARLZY there's only one way to use the software and that's the way that you, Stumbler, personally choose to use it.
Are you even aware that there are instances that aren't federated? At all? Anywhere? Because you can do that. Because it's just software and who gives a shit how anyone else chooses to use it?
Over these posts it's been increasingly obvious the dick you swallow is your own.
Does any of that make you think it's SUPPOSED to be new user friendly?
They don't have to be. They also don't have to be federated.
The conductivity doesn't mean a damn thing when it's plating some shit-tier alloy.
That corrosion resistance though... more than worth the price. I made that mistake on some monitors once. ONCE.
You are entirely ignorant of how anything works. There's no "liability" unless they seriously fuck a goat. Downtime is expected and, in fact, built into contracts. X amount of downtime for service, Y amount for unforeseen circumstances, Z amount for shiggles. There may be some prorating built into it, but even that will be after a certain amount of downtime.
No matter how you slice it the only reason anyone uses cloud services is to cut costs. There actual facts simply do not pan out when you're talking about security.
Why do you think the Saudis gave Jared Kushner $2 billion?
Fuck off with this shit-tier attitude that should have died in 199fucking5. Yes, it goes back that far and further. No, it wasn't even fucking valid then.
It's the squeal of every high school FAANG wannabe that spends their whole fucking day jacking off to Leetcode, thinking they're the fucking best, not understanding that the moment they encounter an actual user in the wild their pithy horseshit goes straight back down their own throat. At best you look like an absolute fucking tool every time you say this shit. At worst, you're continually seeking new employment because you can't grasp this little thing called USER EXPERIENCE.
Suck less at many things.
What you're saying here is literally a punchline in infosec because of how many breaches are down to incompetent cloud service providers, because said cloud service providers take security about as seriously as the aforementioned c-suite does.
*EDIT No, the c-suite thing doesn't make sense. Shut up. I recast this post and removed a bit. I don't need your approval. I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS
