I'm seeing more and more desperate posts from people who feel like even fedi isn't a safe place for them to be in anymore, with instance admins being happy to invite Facebook in and put other people at risk in doing so.
Are you fucking happy now, "we must be open and grow" people? Are you happy that the *one* place trying to safeguard vulnerable people, now also caters primarily to your desires instead? Was it fucking worth it?

I think I lost a mutal because of too many "Fuck Zuck" posts. Even though they were CW'ed. I'm over here thinking, "Well, I wouldn't have to post all day about hating him if his wannabe-footstools here would just shut up."

I think the weirdest defense I saw was, "We need FB to help us organize better we can't afford NOT to welcome them." Uh, so original FB already exists, Buddy. If it's so great for your organizing why did you even bother to come here in the first place? 😖

@xenophora Yep, I've seen this one a couple times - the implication that somehow we need FB's guidance for the future development of fedi, and just, what the fuck

They were talking specifically about political organizing/activism but yeah your take applies, too.
I don't want to be one of those annoying white class reductionists who no one likes. But sometimes it really does seem like the desperation to have a corp. pat you on the head and flatter your genius is the true driving force behind our final destruction as a society.

Oh and don't go "well I didn't know that things would turn out this way" - if you'd fucking *listened* when people expressed their distress instead of looking for the nearest argument to dismiss it, you'd have known
