No, that is the healthiest/least draining thing to do, the militant and most effective thing to do is relentlessly shit on corporate social media with your old corpo account while moving the rest of your social identity to the fediverse.

Obnoxiously link to the fediverse, talk about it unprompted, strip mine the relevance of your posts to the algorithm before you leave.

I am not saying everyone has to do this, I am not even necessarily recommending it as a general suggestion but this is clearly the best way to hate on billionaire social media and fight back against it. If you have the energy, don’t throw away the value of your social connections to the corpo algorithm without first converting as much as possible of it to awareness of the fediverse and how shitty corpo social media is, if your objective is to fight as hard as possible.

edit corporate social media is toxic as hell, I make this point not as a judgement of people who just log out and never log back in to corporate social media, take care of yourself, this strategy is for if you have the mental headspace to do it.

Also, if you say trans rights are political in attempt to push it out the realm of acceptable discussion, that is an offensive action, expect people like me to treat it as an act of war because it is.

hmmm

I am so tired of these losers like Rimu who can’t accept the politics of average people have evolved past them and so they claw at these truly pathetic methods of attempting to silence and manipulate people.

It is disgusting and it underlines how toxic and extreme self proclaimed “moderates” or “centrists” can be.

I am a “radical leftist” but I will never resort to these kinds of underhanded and sad tactics undertaken by someone who is clearly lashing out from a perceived loss of power and status.

I aim to convince people of my points, not blatantingly manipulate and micromanage what people can see so they adopt my world views based on faulty premises.

Shame on you Rimu, you sad, toxic troll living under a bridge.

Damn, stupid, commie, tankies censoring everything!! This is why we need to kick them off the fediverse!

rereads comment

oh

Well my point still stands!

If this isn’t resolved I will no longer post science articles on Mander.

Eewww nope what a creepy choice I don’t like it at all, I hope this was a misunderstanding.

edit ok who wants to make a new science focused instance?

Where I draw the line for whether it is ethical to light things on fire is when they start destroying rare knowledge and books as fast as possible for no other reason than to hoard and obscure knowledge for private benefit.

It is one thing to fund the creation of knowledge and then hoard it, it is entirely another to begin actively attacking and destroying pre-existing publicly shared resources of knowledge in the pursuit of monetizing access to that very knowledge behind a gargantuan profit motivated entity.

and I mean it is a job that gets blood on your hands, homie.

If they don’t want that baggage, they can deploy their golden parachute and go head another company/organization.

Stop carrying water for these people.

You can’t just pretend having some arbitrary connection to Kevin Bacon is the same as being all the way at the top of the power structure of one of the most powerful entities on earth that is actively seeking profit from an ongoing Genocide.

Hi, supersquirrel here, are you tired of people scamming you out of money with emails tantalizingly asking you to help start a realllllly profitable business in a foreign country?

Well, I have a solution for you! Pay me lots of money and I will tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear about those scammers/business opportunities!

Whoever has that job also very likely has blood on their hands from being involved in facilitating (or remaining silent about) the Palestinian Genocide with Microslop products like Azure and other computing services, so FUCK them, pile the misery on to them until they crumble into dust as a person for all I care.

Microslop is a tiny scrappy start-up company, give them some slack and patience, they can’t just throw virtually unlimited money at the problem to solve it…

Meh just accelerate with F-force and then switch to G-force when you are up to speed and vice versa when slowing down, problem solved!

I don’t like Harris but Biden was far less competent and suited to the moment.

Obama’s biggest mistake was playing it safe with a DEI hire for an ideologically bankrupt, incompetent old white guy for his VP.

Harris doesn’t have charisma with normal people (though she is apparently great at getting fundraising from the rich and powerful…) but at least she showed some kind of awareness of how to play politics unlike Biden who stumbled through his presidency and failed campaign for re-election like a dementia patient sleepwalking out onto a busy highway.
