Ice Ice Baby!

Sooo this is a publicity stunt then? I don't know who this Muppet is but if you're making public statements that attract neo-nazis to side with you I doubt you're going to do well crying 'defamation'.

I may be daft but am I missing a joke? Is it a "this is how he sees himself" kind of thing?

As a non American it is always wild to hear such strangely internatilised concepts of how people see the world. This guy received emails saying it was a “liberal conspiracy theory on the weather”, calling climate change a “Biden hoax”. Does someone like that have no concept that this is an issue for the rest of us outside the USA? (Aka the majority of the world). And that it existed for prior administrations too!

While that's true I think it's about why it has been made a political issue. If you can make out that it's just a left v right opinion, it steers the conversation away from the damage that is being done and those that are benefiting from it. It's great misdirection, because it means that the common person is doing the arguing on behalf of the corporations doing the polluting.

You've probably got dice in your pocket but you're too afraid to show anyone

The Talliban accusing a company (Meta) of having intolerant policies is perhaps the most insanely hypocritical thing I've heard. I love it! "They don't tolerate our intolerance"

As a new user is there somewhere I can understand more about this defederation stuff? I'm just picking it up as I go and trying to piece it together

Yeah agreed. It's one thing to implement it years ago before seeing how it would shape the users behaviour. But now we know let's just let it be reddit nostalgia

Yeah, I was there probably a decade mainly lurking. Decided to come over here after the Sync app shut down. I feel like I want to contribute more here too! Seems like an exciting time to have come aboard.
