meta, mental health -
Some of the comments I've been seeing around the Facebook thing have been genuinely depressing - it's making it painfully obvious for how many people "listen to vulnerable folks when they ask for your support" isn't a matter of course, and instead is something that's considered subject to endless negotiation

Like, when people go "please do not let the genocidal corporation into our spaces and put us in harm's way" then that is where the discussion *should* be ending, and it shouldn't be resulting in endless technical pedantry, what-if'ing, both-sides'ing, and so on, all of that shit doesn't fucking matter, you *do not let in the genocidal corporation* and that's the end of it

@joepie91 one thousand times yes. I have a draft blog post that covers this argument in a bit more detail. It is so disappointing and tiring to see people acting like we don't have damn near two decades of evidence that we shouldn't let Meta into our spaces.

And if you're one of the various people trying to negotiate and argue how maybe it won't be so bad this time, yes, I am also talking about you, and I *will* judge you for this
