  • I’m with you. I think there is some value in trying to reach the people on the data-harvesting platforms, but I would rather see that coupled with an incessant campaign to guide people into the Fediverse. At the end of every post, link to an article about how to do it. Do a monthly reminder about migrating and how & why the Fediverse is better.

    I genuinely appreciate the work EFF does, but I think that this move is long overdue, and they could be doing more with their platform.

















  • A relatively small company can’t afford to fight a protracted legal battle or simply ignore the law. They have employees with families, and $800/hr for legal representation adds up fast, not to mention potentially getting hit with $6500 fines per infraction for refusal to comply. They also can’t afford to just not sell in California, which has a huge chunk of the US population.

    We don’t have to be happy about the state of things, but it’s not their fault that capitalism and authoritarianism have effectively forced them to comply.

    Be upset by all means, but remember to focus your anger upon those who actually put/is putting these laws in place.
