Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

Whichever way instances decide to go there's a few things people should remember:

  • We're lucky to have this option even if it's divisive at times.
  • It's not always about what we know will happen, sometimes it's concern over possibilities we couldn't even imagine at the time.
  • Growth is great but there's infrastructure, moderators and policies that can be overwhelmed.
  • Defederation can be reversed at any time if things change.

X is officially worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it

Let's put this another way.

That ~25 billion, heavily absorbed by foreign investors, has bought influence on worldwide events/elections and allowed those that previously hated the platform to sabotage it internally, likely to a post-election failure.

Makes you wonder to what degree we have a "useful idiot billionaire" situation, with other interests (countries?) steering the out of control train to their benefit.

To be fair, the guy did actually self checkin to a mental facility this summer for two weeks and was released. Additionally, Maine is a yellow flag state where firearms can be taken away via a mental health review. (To be clear, this is NOT enough in my opinion).
