This instance is using the software we chose because we think it's the best, not because of ideological stances. No well-adjusted, ordinary person cares what software someone else is using unless it has some sort of practical implications. I'm not going to worry myself if unhinged people decide to block this instance.

In my opinion, I find it rather eerie how close there is a parallel to abusive relationships when it comes to some defederation attitudes. Abusers will try to isolate you from communicating with others and attempt to control the information you're exposed to, they cut you off from communicating with others so that they are the source of truth, the only people you can confide in and use this to manipulate you into doing what they want. The abusers always appears to have all the knowledge of events going on outside and know what's best, they will tell you how you should think about something, but there will often not have much to show to prove their claims or use common falacies to prove it.

It's ironic how often the defederation demands come from people who claim it's necessary to prevent abuse, while holding so many parallels to an abuser themselves.

It's really fascinating how millennials and zoomers have swung full church lady. You're not rebelling or doing anything different, you're your grandparents with smartphones.

ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “#MASTODON ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: #SysAdmins have *always* been able to read your #email and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big #SocialNetworks and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”

It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.
