I’m more concerned that their founder and CEO is a Nazi who has stated that “freedom and democracy are incompatible”.

Doing business with Nazi’s makes you a Nazi. This shit is treasonous. Our corporate dictatorships are going mask off.

The entire Republican party are Nazis, and many thousands of 0.01% donors like Musk, Thiel, etc.

Most of the words ultra-wealthy are verifiably sociopathic. Capitalism literally rewards those who posses the least empathy, the most.

Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.

The only correct response is “WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES”, then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they’ve had full control.

The goal should be to implode America’s domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.

But… all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they’ll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.

I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he’s been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain’t in it.

Eh. I don’t use bsky, and think most current ICE staff should be imprisoned for terrorism for the rest of their lives, but I don’t want any communications services to decide which entities should and shouldn’t be verified. That’s how you end up with power-tripping mods, propaganda bubbles, and censorship (exactly what fascists are doing with X, fb, tiktok, etc).

The goal should be an open protocol where users/orgs can sign messages cryptographically (like PGP) and every other user can decide which users, feeds, or algos they subscribe to without censorship. Like, if I subscribe to my friends and family (trusted sources), or friends of friends, I don’t want any form of moderation between them and me, but the freedom to sub to moderated topics is also necessary for public (untrusted sources) feeds/comms.

I do not support the government killing civilians under any circumstances, but I sure do support civilians killing their criminally corrupt governments.

Fascism is what you get when the people in power can commit crimes without fearing for their freedom or lives.

As the average is dumb, let me be clear… No moral or ethical person should support violence or murder in a society of LEGITIMATE laws and justice systems that are applied EQUALLY (nobody is above the law; regardless of wealth, status, position, optics or power). If your goal is retribution, vengeance, pain or suffering then it is not a just or moral stance. The entire point in a rule of law is threat reduction and risk mitigation, to enable a prosperous & just society FOR EVERYONE. It is everyone’s duty to oppose unjust laws, and the systems that enable and protect them; especially predators of the weak and vulnerable (e.g. pedophiles).

I’m sure 95% or more of Chinese workers are “exploited” by most developed world standards (excluding that USA shithole obvs).

It’s heartwarming in the orphan crushing machine kind of way. If you want to mass murder, make sure you do it behind the liability shield of a corporation, for profit.

This is one where the whole world should intervene. The mass murder of civilians should always equal the end of any regime.

Even a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

80+ years of aggressive dehumanisation means the antifascists are a minority. Considering being anti-israel abroad can lead to financial terrorism and blacklisting, all good Israelis have been ostracised and silenced domestically.

Same. Last phone 5 years. Current phone 2 years. See zero reason in upgrading, especially to another big tech device or OS.

Really hoping a true Linux phone and OS materialises in the next couple of years. Something that isn’t beholden to any corporate monopoly or cartel. My requirements are basic. Apart from a dozen core mobile features/apps, everything can be done through a browser.

Said the fascist sociopathic pedophile.

Funny… I don’t recall Biden invading Venezuela, or drumming up lies about drugs then stealing their oil.

This isn’t the American people. It’s the will of thousands of the world’s most powerful multinational oligarchs — billionaires and old money millionaire elites (plus all their class-traitor lapdogs and puppets) — who are actively corrupting ALL politics and public discourse; waging class warfare, globally.

Murdoch is one of the most well-known examples, but I’m sure there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fossil fuel and military contractor investors or board members — you’ve never heard of — who are criminally corrupt psychopaths that deserve to be in the dirt.

These people’s only allegiance is to the almighty dollar. They have no real virtue, morals, or ethics.

And the Republicans fascists specifically voted against revoking those powers in the last couple of months.

They’ve know this was coming for months, because the United corporations of America already paid their political puppet class numerous bribes to steal Venezuela’s oil.

I also find it hilarious that every global multinational offshored everything they possibly could to China, thus their own operations are directly subsidised by the CCP and Chinese labor, yet they cry foul when consumers buy from them directly.

“Sure we cut 90% of our western workforce, dramatically reduced the quality of jobs and pay for the remaining 10%, directly financing and empowering the CCP for decades, and kept all the profits for ourselves, but consumers are the terrible ones for not supporting our skeleton onshore operation (which we will automate 100% of if able to)”

True. Assigning names like these to unknowns has entirely superseded the specific questions in the zeitgeist. They should really be named as something less ambiguous like “unknown accelerant” and “unknown attractor”.

I guarantee Americas military industrial complex lobbied day and night to ensure the piecemeal quagmire and perpetual subscription were chosen over the “1 week annihilation of all Russian forces within Ukraines borders”.

Right, except Linux runs on 40 year old hardware, and it could run on any Apple device if they weren’t an anti-competitive cartel and we didn’t live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.
