   You know what, don’t @ me if you‘re going to defend Facebook joining the fediverse or whatnot. Seriously, I’m not here to debate you. I’m sick and tired of pointing out the obvious. Do what you like. There’s a reason I’m building something that’s actually decentralised. It would just be nice to have the stopgap in place long enough to serve as a bridge.

   Oh, and if the largest servers don’t end up blocking Facebook/Meta, a boycott will not work.

   I’ve said my piece.

   Over and out.

     What are you working on? You can respond privately, I am not looking for debates, looking for interop.

     @davew Hey Dave, I call it the Small Web. Just updated what I’d written about it with the latest work as it had gotten a bit out of date:

     @aral I'm not *opposed* to what you're saying... But I'm getting really close to changing my mind as to whether you are worth following...

     I think it is *right terrible* that Facebook is joining the fediverse... But I also think that by doing so, it's doing a good job of showing how high the toxicity *can* be even with people who "mean well."
