Fedi has always been a microblogging service, man, come on. It's a federated Twitter clone. There's really no need to get up in arms about that characterization of it, since it's accurate.

  > a microblogging service,
  
  I didn't argue that it's not a microblogging service. I said it is not "social media". An IRC server is definitely not "social media": what's the difference between that and Twitter? There's a line somewhere, some cluster of traits that you expect from a "social media" platform and that you definitely do not expect from an IRC server.

  @p @Cookieman @Looming @NEETzsche @amerika @childrapist1488 @fedilist @lina @mint Precisely why I never pretend to be any more intelligent than what I am and discount that even in the beginning. Somebody's probably thought of everything I've thought about already and devised a solution to the problem I don't yet see
  
  It just takes another level of silly to take all of those precautions to fall for the sunk cost fallacy of "OH WELL IF THE GOOBERMINT ALREADY KNOWS MY NAME IT'S ALL JOEVER"

  I had a guy come in at work today with a ton of questions about how decentralizing networks functions and he couldn't wrap his head around it. I attempted to inform him about this very same distinction; the difference between something like Twitter and IRC and his head just exploded before my eyes
  
  He could install piholes, use wireguard, dive through Ubiquiti equipment until the conversation died but when it came to shedding the skin of the social network he was utterly perplexed as to why someone would even bother. There was this fascination with the idea that since some data to some degree has been scraped by the federal government that there was no point in divesting oneself of the tools afforded to us, and I was just amazed by the hubris
  
  I couldn't get through to him even if I tried

  @unlight @Cookieman @Looming @NEETzsche @amerika @childrapist1488 @fedilist @lina @mint As long as the energy required to contemplate it is greater than the energy required to avoid thinking about it, people will usually avoid thinking about it. People go out of their way to avoid absorbing a new way in which the world is more complicated than expected. Everyone does, we're probably doing it somewhere. (Impossible to see your own cognitive blind spots.)

  "Those of the Unlight" was far and away the best Marduk album.
