    Yes, I know… But there’s no need for Meta to extinguish Mastodon if we do it ourselves?

        On the other end, there’s also the Executive Monkey aspect.

        At some point, fighting every battle has a toll. See the decline in the population’s mental health as activism increases.

        As an apathetic Gen-X’er, I just acknowledge that I’ll never make it so everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Some stuff just sucks. And so do I.

          ok, i now really want to tie joseph brady into electric chair and press the lever.

          At some point, fighting every battle has a toll.

          may be, but since consequences of losing the battle are usually bigger than little bit of stress, that is really not a reason to wave the white flag.

          As an apathetic Gen-X’er, I just acknowledge that I’ll never make it so everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Some stuff just sucks. And so do I.

          and so you are trying to convince others to join you in your apathy. got it.

        This doesn’t seem applicable - how is meta being intolerant (or the people federating with meta)? Banning instances because they didn’t ban a third party instance isn’t following the paradox of tolerance.

        Sorry if I’m missing something, are you saying meta should be banned because they have bad moderation, tons of bigots, or something like that?

          i am saying they should be banned because their ultimate goal is to Embrace, extend and exterminate and if you are going to tolerate it, you’ll lose

            That’s just arguing that companies shouldn’t be allowed on decentralized networks like the internet, which IMO isn’t realistic, but that’s of course okay if that’s your opinion.

            Here are my full thoughts if you want to provide counterpoints: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/726305

              no, that’s not, you should read better

              which IMO isn’t realistic

              oh wait, you didn’t read wrong, you tried to misinterpret what i said on purpose, right?

        You seem to be stretching the definition of the “paradox of tolerance” in new and amazing ways. How exactly does the “paradox of tolerance” relate to defederating from instances that haven’t explicitly blocked Threads?

          it applies to federation of single units in same way as it applies to single unit. if we decide this is a direction we want to take, then everyone has to think about which side of the imaginary barricade they want to stand on.
