Words form sentences form paragraphs. You need to be able to hold more than one thought in your head to be able to comprehend an argument. You should try it.

If your reading comprehension is really that bad, it might explain the low quality of your opinions. You should probably try working on it instead of embarrassing yourself in public.

The kinds of things that some parents bully, punish, disown and/or murder their children for should very much be hidden from them if the child chooses to hide it. It's no one else's business and, if the child has not yet told them themselves, breaking their confidence is an attempt to ruin their life and quite possibly end it.

This is stochastic terrorism from this fascist government, desperate for any distraction at all from their kleptocratic ways.

Lots of lovely laws, none of them enforced. Liberals* are really very bad** at this game.

*in the political science meaning of the word, not the US colloquial meaning

**or good, depending on your perspective and/or the sincerity of their declared intent

It's like a Calibri-fied version of Trebuchet. You can actually tell the difference between I and l without changing the font to check. It's an improvement.

applied by centre left and liberals

It's a term that originates with the left. Specifically, those who broke with the USSR over imperialist invasions, referring to those who did not. More broadly, it refers to the authoritarian left (as opposed to the anarchist left).

There is no family silver left, Thatcher and Blair sold it all. The only thing they can do is throw as much money as possible at rich people in the time they have left, secure in the knowledge that Starmer's Labour will keep their seats warm without doing anything at all to stop the theft.

They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.

That's not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it's not done automatically.

Thanks for this. Turns out they also made it hard to make anything other than Edge your default browser (you have to set it separately for each file extension). How to fix that here:

You don't know what clutter is but you do have a very cool rabbit.

Some instances will federate with Meta because its users want/need the larger network.

Instances which do not federate with Meta will lose users who want/need the larger network and gain users who want no part of it.

That's all fine and as it should be.

But the Meta-defederated instances will struggle to get any content beyond an endless circlejerk accusing the Meta-federated mods of corruption because they decided to do something different, as if that wasn't the whole point of the fediverse in the first place.

(Yeah, this explanation is not the one the OP would offer.)
