  • I don’t agree with this in all cases.

    True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:

    • Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in ‘love’ like they do in all relationships.
    • Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
    • Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child’s best interest.

    For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different… please look into “enmeshment” for your own sake




  • Assumption 1: Meta / Mark Z are objectively untrustworthy

    Assumption 2: The Fediverse is a threat to the entire internet advertising machine

    Assumption 3: Threads will be a hospitable place for right wing hatemongers. Therefore, federating with it exposes our most vulnerable users and communities to a deluge of (often invisible) hate and harassment.

    Assumption 4: Most of the ways that they could use their billions of users and army of programmers to slowly choke us off would go through federation

    I think if you believe all four of those assumptions defederation is the clear choice
