God, imagine that... we switch to federated and the Nazis can no longer hide behind "Just asking questions" and getting the site admins to bully people.

Whenever beating up fascists and their sympathizers is a question the answer is always yes >:3
We should keep them all trapped on twitter forever.
It's a good containment zone for the trash.
If you see someone supporting Trump tell them to go back to twitter and block them
TBH I'd rather them leave Twitter just so Twitter doesn't make money
Twitter isn't making money anyway
it stopped being about money a while ago, its literally a tool now, not a revenue source.
Or more accuratley, its a weapon, a weapon in the information war. being weilded by the Corpo-Oligarchs, the Fascists, the nazis, the Russian state, and whatever brain-worm is in Elon's head on any given day. When Elon was forced to buy twitter, he obviously decided "fuck it, im going to use this to exert my will on the world then". and then a year later, he was doing jumping jacks on stage for Trump rallies.
Fucking

the idiots peddling conservatism aren't going to pay much to twitter and the advertisers who are staying aren't giving them a fraction of what they Used to get
Just had to block someone that said wanting a democracy and not supporting a dictatorship was "Chasing perfection at the cost of the good".
That's wild given a dictatorship has the whole issue of succession, even with a perfectly benevolent leader they gonna die one day.
haha goddamn

So much harder to manufacture consent without centralized gatekeepers
That makes me wonder, what comes after decentralized gatekeepers?
Chances are, fediverse will end up with right wing instances that only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, left wing will only communicate with themselves and maybe some centrists, centrists will see all
centrists will see all
I dunno, has this ever actually happened? I think centrists almost universally end up backing the right-wing. Hell, the Centrists were vital in the Nazi's coming to power, and it literally would not have happened without them.
And the 'left wing' is going to be a fractured bunch that overlap slightly, yet Social Democrats, Marxists, Anarcha-Feminists, these 'left wing' groups have vastly different ideas of the best way to help everyone, and I don't see Centrists asking the Anarchists what's up. Centrists are how we got neo-Liberalism, and 'well we can't BAN abortion... but we can limit it unless the woman is...' They want an 'inbetween' in an era when fascists have taken over the most powerful country in the world, with the open backing of fascists/authoritarians in other nations. What's the centrist response to concentration camps in Guantanamo Bay? What sort of chat will happen between Centrists and the Right-Wing with banning abortion? How about the rights of people transitioning? Because from what I'm seeing, they seem awfully okay with it.
They probably all agree we're stronger together. Kinda applies to left and right, too. Hence centrists. Yes yes, I know you cant reason with fascists, but I dont think a centrists aim is to recruit the furthest right.

See all, but understand nothing.
