And yet y’all will happily dismiss anybody who is to the right of you (or a different flavour of left from you) as a ‘lib’. 🤔

Dude, that’s gluttony, not lust.

You got excited for Artifact?

GNU Nominal Universalism

That sentence was going so well until it hit a nosedive at the last two words.

Debian does Dallas?

I really don’t get this ‘humour’. What is happening? It’s not even funny because it’s absurd, ‘cos it’s never absurd enough. It’s like the comic equivalent of looking at a Facebook Minions meme.

Props on the edits though, they’re clean.

Those fan explanations are now canon btw.

I mean, the dickhead preferred being bundled into a Sanctuary District in (current year) over 25th century utopia after literally being imprisoned by ICE.

I wouldn't say Reddit always has been owned by a malicious entity, Aaron Swartz was a cool guy. And if you're telling me a man who freely distributed thousands of needlessly paywalled research papers is a some kind of arch capitalist, then there's no helping you.

As you can see from the shelf below, this is from OmegaMart a Las Vegas art installation cum theme park attraction. There's some pretty great ads for it on YouTube.

I am inclined to agree - trying to weigh things up:

Pros

• Bragging rights to be able to say that we got Threads to defederate from us.
• May hurt Threads' popularity in the short term.
• A warm fuzzy feeling from the above two points.
• Umm... that's it?

Cons

• Potentially undermines the impact the Anti-Meta Pact by not immediately defederating with them, actions are usually stronger in unison.
• Related to the above, any instance federated with them, even if they then become hostile, adds to marketing numbers to allow Threads to legitimise themselves as being connected to X other communities.
• The "Court of Public Opinion" probably won't be too sympathetic to us if we spam mommy Meta's new social network with goatse. I suppose that shouldn't matter, but if we make ourselves too unpopular it may be a pain in the ass if more mainstream instances like lemmy.world defed from us due to making ourselves pariahs.
• Potentially brings the Eye of Sauron upon us.

Weight these how you will, and please let me know if there's others to add to the list. To me the cons outweigh the pros, though I am willing to have my mind changed.-
