@p @louis@emacs.ch @Jojothegoodperson @thatguyoverthere Yeah, moving to a different country won't change things. Their parties are most likely controlled by the same shadow orgs that control ours. You are better off living in an unrecognized micronation or something like that. I do have a list of them on my website, but of course you should do your own research.

Though this is just a short-term band-aid solution. I only see hope when people start waking up en-masse and finally replace this current, global, oppressive system with a just and fair one. How will that be done? I don't know, but it's not going to be done through voting, that's for sure.

and you're also leaving out the Peter Thiel backing of Facebook ... Peter Thiel was also behind Palantir, a company that sells domestic spying software to dozens of world governments (including the US and Israel). He also provided a significant amount of funding to Rumble.
@Jojothegoodperson @louis@emacs.ch @p @thatguyoverthere Who isn't to say that other services aren't in on it too? Google has a similar story (I need to find the article again), and it should be common knowledge these alt-tech sites that a lot of right-wingers are flocking to are just honeypots. They literally exist to serve the same purpose. They are still spying on the people that are banned. And this Big Tech censorship on conservatives is just a distraction because both parties are controlled by the same shadow government.
@Jojothegoodperson @louis@emacs.ch @p @thatguyoverthere This is going into conspiracy territory but Facebook is most likely *NOT* a private company that started from someone's dorm, but rather actually a government project with the sole intention of collecting user data. It was never really about the profit motive, it was about government control.
Back in the early 2000s there was a DARPA project known as LifeLog. It's intent was to log people's day to day lives, including their relationships, jobs, purchases, places visit, etc. They planned to do this by various means like using CCTV, GPS data, tracking sites visited, etc. The plan was to use all the data to determine someone's interests, goals, etc.
The project ended THE SAME DAY that Facebook launched. It shouldn't be a coincidence, especially given that Facebook uses the same methods to track both users and non-users. It seems like the US government saw the rise of blogging and early social networking sites like Friendster and MySpace, and saw those as the perfect way to implement their project.
@Jojothegoodperson @louis@emacs.ch @p Yeah. Facebook allows you to tag people, including those who have never used the site along with mentioning that you are married, divorced, or widowed with someone who never used Facebook.
If you have ever signed up for Facebook, you would notice that you might get a list of suggestions of people you might know. Most of that data comes from people mentioning and tagging you. Some of it might also come from data that they have acquired like getting access to various school yearbooks (there are websites that archive them), newspaper archives (I was in a local newspaper article without my permission once, for example), CCTV footage, etc.
@Jojothegoodperson @louis@emacs.ch @p Facebook creates profiles on people who have never used the site. The are generated based on people mentioning said people and putting them in photos. It's why Stallman always asks people not to put photos of him on Facebook, Instagram, and whatever else Meta owns.

@Jojothegoodperson @yuki2501 @louis @ramin_hal9001 Well, they can't see us, Jojo. I have some commentary, though.
> I don't know why you think we're gullible enough to believe Facebook is well intentioned
They have absolutely the worst intentions, I'm certain.
> or well be destroyed.
No, that's stupid. This person is melodramatic. The fact is that Facebook cannot actually do anything to budge fedi an inch.
> Why should we TRUST facebook?
Someone on "hackers.town" should think a little more clearly than this. You don't run in circles responding to vague threats just because you're in the vicinity of a bad actor. It's lunatic behavior. You assess the threat. What could they do, in concrete terms? I don't see anything. There is no threat from Facebook. The closest I have seen to something concrete is Moon saying that they could mine data. I don't know why they'd be mining fedi's data (they have an ocean of their own data) but if they look like they're doing this, then there are solutions to that.
Facebook doesn't care about fedi: the likely target is Twitter. Twitter was unpopular before, then Elon took over, a lot of people fucked off to fedi (not a lot in terms of Twitter's userbase, but fedi's population grew by about 50%), then Twitter paywalls the whole thing and suddenly Facebook announces that they're gonna start doing ActivityPub. Don't get me wrong: "Facebook doesn't care about fedi" cuts both ways. They certainly wouldn't care about ruining the place. If this is more about Twitter than about fedi, then Facebook doesn't care who instance-blocks them, none of that shit matters. They have a competitor that is weaker than usual so they're taking some shots.
> As a corporation, if Facebook wants to do something bad, it will.
This applies to literally anyone on fedi.
> If Facebook cannot be held accountable, it cannot be trusted.
You don't trust a roach, but you don't run screaming in terror like a lunatic if you see one: you spray it. This person isn't just waving their arms in the air like they've set their hair on fire, they're also accusing people of being pro-roach for *not* panicking.
> Besides, why are you implying that joining Facebook has any advantages at all for us?
Sloppy, panicked thinking; see attached. The reason people make deals with the devil is that the devil sometimes promises to give you something you want. Nobody would be talking to Facebook if there were *zero* advantages for anyone involved. I would not make a deal with Facebook, and I don't think anyone ought to, but that's not the same as saying there are zero advantages to doing it.
There are advantages to smoking crack (allegedly it is fun). That's not to say it's a good idea (it also is addictive, turns you into a toothless lunatic, etc) but it's disingenuous to say there are zero advantages, and it's a shitty tactic to yell at someone for failing to adopt your worldview without question.
> if Facebook sponsors instances, it's effectively controlling them
This is accurate. This is why FSE does not even take donations.
> The point of the fediverse is not to cover the world, it's to have a space safe from fascism and corporate power.
People should, in general, speak for themselves instead of dictating to other people. I'm not here to have a safe space from fascism: it is the internet, fascists can't hurt me no matter which part of it I visit. Facebook can't hurt me, fascists can't hurt me, communists can't hurt me, idiots can't hurt me. I am here because I do not want censorship, I don't want surveillance or ads, I don't like the mall-internet that the San Francisco Data Cartel is pushing on us. I like talking to interesting people, and I can relax here, because nobody can stop me from saying anything, because I am not borrowing Twitter's servers to communicate.
> So you and your sockpuppets can fuck off. You're not welcome here.
This tedious asshole starts with "How dare you question me?!", proceeds to dictate rules to the network, and then presumes the authority to decide who is welcome on fedi. It's all so tiresome. Don't fall for it: just let the lunatics yell, this is the kind of person that can be safely ignored.

You know what I think?
I think all these platforms are getting AP or federation compatible, not because they want to be on fediverse, but because they want to communicate with each other.
Like blue sky and threads will probably work out a protocol handshake or something, tumblr at one point said they were getting AP support. If they all want to stay relevant with each other, cause nobody really wants to sign into multiple apps/platforms.
Like I think they really don't give a shit about federating with loliconaryan1488@groomed.children.ranch or whoever.
I think fedi users just have spotlight effect.

@PraxisOfEvil @RMIV Reminder that America is a huge territory and our Founders often thought it might go on to become multiple countries. There is still a great American nation within us even if it might not be composed of the whole current US territory, and it is up to us to awaken the strength of our forebears to seize it.
