This is all on the open web. If they find it useful to create surveillance profiles of fediverse users they will do so, whether we defederate or not. That’s the current price of being on the internet.

Hopeful the fediverse has enough built-in resilience that Meta’s intention don’t matter and can be safely ignored

Can't overstate how great they are if you hate flossing.

Depends on how many of those data slurping categories I can disable on iPhone. I would at least like to try it.

I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don't want to be a data slut for Zuck.

Most people don’t really respect the patron model of arts funding anymore. The more prominent view is: if you can’t make money as an artist, you’ve failed and should quit. The market is seen as the ultimate arbiter of value. Why mess with it?

I think it’s something like that.

Support for Biden's student loan cancellation is for most a political calculation, where people who would be for more robust measures to make college affordable support it as a partial measure, a step in the right direction. A common right wing tactic is to stymie left wing political priorities to the point where asking questions like this seems reasonable, even though the asker is often being disingenuous and would be against any affordable college plan that increased government spending or in which the government played an otherwise larger role. If this commenter wasn't being disingenuous, they had the unfortunate plight of absorbing a lot of built-up frustration over this tactic haha
