Please stop trying to be like Twitter. That's not what we want.

@glynmoody how should we rename USA?

I've got the A... 🤔

@glynmoody what's he going to appeal for..

prison time?

@Gargron How anyone can say this, watch #Meta behave in the poisonous way it always has, and not advocate blocking #Threads altogether mystifies me.

I mean, if Twitter were federated would that also be ok?

How vile do these corporations have to be before we stand up and say that's enough?

@glynmoody not guts so much but lack of a powerful block to stand with against the most powerful mission and it's corporations.

@glynmoody also, what could go wrong? 🤦♂️

@glynmoody 'smart' man ignorant of the Streisand effect.

Where people can express themselves they will fight for goodness and truth.

@glynmoody these are large landowners, and not necessarily farmers.

@glynmoody it's on almost all of them, Tory and Labour ministers. Farage took the vanguard and rather than counter his dangerous bile they follow.

@glynmoody ideally services shouldn't know where their users are. Figuring the numbers out should be the job of regulators anyway.

@glynmoody also "Judge doesn't understand DNS"

@glynmoody It would be great better to tax based on climate impact of the type of energy production than target one unpopular use case.

Lots of #crypto mining is done using renewables and can be argued to be driving development of renewables to some extent.

If you tax the climate cost at source you catch all users, including AI data centres, and further drive renewable energy production.

@glynmoody may just be waiting for an incident to create outrage in the public, to which they can push this as a 'solution'.

@glynmoody I wonder how Trump will take to someone making foreign policy on the hoof, who is not Trump, and has a bigger profile, more money and better claim to be a success than, er Trump.

I wonder if Musk will actually make it to inauguration.

👏

That's essentially to preserving fedi IMO. Well done.

@glynmoody
#Zelensky is an amazingly canny operator and without him I can't see how #Ukraine would have got this far.

His strategy is always to isolate #Putin as much as possible while trying his best not to alieniate his piss poor allies, whether Biden, EU or Trump.

I am in awe at his powerful diplomacy while watching his countrymen die in unnecessarily large numbers because we (collectively) prevaricate and fumble from a safe distance.

As with #Gaza, we are a truly despicable, shameful West

@glynmoody I've not read this but don't see what leverage Biden has when all Netanyahu has to do is wait for Trump.

@glynmoody what could possibly circumvent that? 🤔

@glynmoody "...all containing a high proportion of errors ".

@glynmoody It's free market bullshit mindset. Set everyone against everyone else, sit back and continue your parasitic exploitation (or that of your wealthy donors and their lobbyists).

I don't know and don't care whether #WesStreeting and #KierStarmer are aware of and part of this, or if they are just useful idiots.

I am though fed up with it. it is so blazingly obvious where this leads, can they really not realise?
