2 years agoI don’t think there should be blind hostility but it should be clear that any hint of embrace, extend, extinguish will result in hostile actions like defederation. I also don’t think targeted ad tech companies share the goals of the Fediverse. I wouldn’t be bothered if instances had sponsors (as in, “/Kbin is made possible by support from Cloudflare”) like all non-profit media. But any sort of targeted ads based on user activity/data should be ruled out as a way to fund the metaverse.
I don’t think Texas should be allowed to use hamster wheels for critical electricity generation anymore. Hamsters die way too often. And while we’re at it, we should ban adults from wearing cowboy costumes until we figure out if they’re groomers or actual cowboys. Kids won’t be safe until they know which adults have ponies and which are just pretending and up to no good.
