@supernovae@universeodon.com @MariaLiv@universeodon.com Your painting of the entirely rational trepidation of those who understand Meta/Facebook/Instagram/surveillance capitalism – based not only on their toxic business model but the many documented ramifications of it on human rights and democracy – as “hate and pitchforks” and “fear, uncertainty, and doubt” is the problem here and is what’s incompatible with “love for this place.”
What I don’t know is, is it out of ignorance or malice?
@supernovae@universeodon.com @MariaLiv@universeodon.com (And by ignorance, I mean privilege.)
@aral It’s quite extraordinary that we have a mountain of evidence that these corps destroy everything they touch in order to maximise often short-term profits, and some people still say this time might be different.
Fuck around and find out I guess.
@edendestroyer @yma One of many precedents, I’m afraid.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al doesn't matter - harm is still harm regardless of intention. not seeing the harm in this move is willful ignorance.

I can see why the more scary Facebook is the more important it is to learn about their plans.
But I could never think them so scary I'd sign an NDA that forbade to me to tell anyone about it.
