@dansup Remember that defederation harms decentralization and should be used as a last resort for instances that knowingly platform illegal content, have been notified about that content and do nothing about it. No moderation is perfect, but the highest priority for content moderation should be deleting illegal content and reporting it to the police, not policing naughty opinions and hurt feelings. When big tech knowingly focuses more on policing so called hate speech than protecting the millions of children that use their platforms, we all know where their priority lies. The fediverse can do better, and for the most part it is doing better. If Gab, Gettr, Truth Social, Minds, Threads and other corporate platforms want to connect, let them, let mastodon users hear what corporate fediverse users have to say, but just because you are a corporation doesn't mean you get a free pass to to be monopolize. The open protocol must remain open, but if we are to respect their rules than they must respect ours. That means that they do not get to complain about the otherwise lawful content we platform, nor do they get to complain about the fact that challenging corporate power is allowed on mastodon. Openness goes both ways and corporate platforms need to respect that, and we should respect that too.

@EU_Commission I will keep my lights on, thank you very much. The enviromentalist bloc has been the biggest advocate for authoritarianism, poverty and making the transition to more efficient energy sources like nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectric, gasoline/diesel/propane/kerosene/jp-4, (for cars, cooking and transportation only, not for power grids) and home generators off the table. They have consistently adopted luxury beliefs yet they do not have to suffer the results, energy gets more expensive whenever they score a victory and they fight tooth and nail to keep developing countries poor by stifling their advancement along their tech trees to more efficient fuels like I have listed above and they rationalize the horrid human rights abuses present in the electrical vehicle industry, namely the mining of the lithium and cobalt needed for electric cars and excuse that their pet projects make cars more expensive for everyone. The EU is not a democracy, it is a superstate run by bureaucrats that does not have to answer to its people and has fought against the people of its member states when they vote for something the eurocrats don't like.
