Lol holy hell. I have ADHD and sure, "wrong planet" might describe how I feel sometimes, BUT WHAT MIGHT BE THE PREVAILING ECONOMIC SYSTEM ON THIS PLANET OF WHICH I FEEL I DO FIT IN TO?? Oh, that's right, CAPITALISM.
God damn, if it was a wood chipper they would have walked right into it.
Then I guess you support the same position in regards to Afghanistan. By your own standard, every American should have their assets drained to rebuild and restore Afghanistan right?
Because all Russians wanted and supported the war don't you know that? We can't have empathy for the people of Russia, they are the empire and Putin is Darth Vader!!
We already have a plurality of ideas here. Do you think adding 30mil average Americans to the feed is going to be GOOD for plurality?
Have you seen the content on threads? Not sure I care to have it in my feed.
This conversation you're having right now is the result of a smaller community of people building something outside the main stream. We have everything to lose from federating with them. All nuanced discourse will fly out the window. All manor critical points of view outside of the mainstream will be shouted down. They don't need us, and we don't need them.
It won't. They have 30mil people on the app already. That's light-years more then the entire fediverse. The hope is, for meta, is to peal off fediverse users and then close the door behind them leaving the ActivityPub network a ghost town.
It's like they all have collective amnesia about the fact that Facebook was caught red handed giving children eating disorders... Just one of many of their crimes against the public.
I don't understand your position. Why do you want one of the most unethical corporate actors interacting with the fediverse?
Should he though? He's trying to be a debate pervert on a Lemmy post from his mastodon account. Maybe that's deliberate, so he doesn't have to see all the down votes.
90% of my time is spent using Jerboa so as long as the gets/posts are fast (and they seem much faster) that's all I'm going to care about.
Yes our school starts middle school at 5th grade. It's a mixed bag. I know a district near us was K-3 / 4-5 / 6-8 / 9-12. But that was mostly because they didn't have big enough schools.
