It's at least half a decade earlier on the enshittification timeline.

It is better than xitter right now (almost anything is) but the earlier you quit the black-box-algorithm-skinnerbox needle, the better.

it was stopped because there were still powerful opponents of fascism who eventually managed to stamp it out

Of the western countries that fought fascism, most were flirting with it before the war. Certainly the UK, US and France had their fascist sympathizers. Germany just went a little too fast and the frog jumped out of the boiling water.

Hopefully it'll go similarly this time: one nation goes full nazi and the rest pull the breaks.

The slop will be caught, your rating lowered until all your messages are simply filtered out as spam.

you could try to cook up some kind of trust chain, without totally abandoning privacy.

Get a government-certified agencies minting master key tied to your id. You only get one, with trust rating tied to it.

With that master key you can generate infinite amount of sub-ids that dont identify you but show your trust rating(fuzzed).

Have a cross-network reporting system that can lower that rating for abuses like botting.

idk Im just spitballing

When it comes to death penalty I am with Gandalf.

However, if you're a cog in the machine that's crushing human lives and dreams to dust, you can't be mad when some of them clap back. That's just fair.

Happy twitter is dying. For awhile I though modern society will take anything from fascists, but maybe there're still some lines normies won't cross.

And yea bluesky is just infant twitter, but it's like vaping: may be not great for you but hella better than smoking.

If a bloke supports stripping of my rights, why would I respect his? Let him see what it's like. May be he'll learn a lesson, or at least be an example for others.

Enough of the "they go low we go high" bs, you can't defeat fascism with civility.

AI is proprietary black box software developed by the most hated big tech firms fueled by surveillance and data theft.

The fact that its disliked in fediverse is very logical.

From what I gather, asbestos is also very stable and not reactive. Asbestosis is caused by tiny fibers physically tearing your lungs.

It's unlikely that plastic is as dangerous (we'd seen it by now) but its buildup can likewise cause some condition.
