@deadsuperhero Just because you disagree with some things, and you’ve been here from the start, doesn’t mean someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about. And even if that would be the case, it’s an unnecessary insult that makes the recipients of the counterarguments less receptive to whatever is being laid out below.

So if it’s in good faith, then I think that’s just a poor choice of title. Only wanted to point that out. Feel free to ignore it.

@NettoHikari Ah OK. Wasn’t aware of that shorthand. First time I’ve ever seen it on fedi.

@NettoHikari Says a person who does unpaid work for Condé Nast? In order to prove the same point again? Cool.

@deadsuperhero Why the ad hominem in the title? Completely unnecessary, and actually proving his point about pettiness.

@anova Why would you ban yourself from interacting with someone who voluntarily chooses provider X or Y or Z for anything? That’s their choice, not yours.

Half the fediverse already runs on servers provided by only 3 companies. If anything, adding more to the mix, both implementations and hosting providers, is healthy for a decentralized ecosystem.
