  • They assume, at various times, even other humans arent human enough therefore the same concepts (such as pain & suffering) don’t really apply.

    It’s a standard coping mechanism that might be necessary but it’s definitely misused by humans for no other reason than greed (especially in times when scarcity isn’t really a notable concern).



  • You kids today are soft, back in my day there was this big war & I could only use one hand because I needed the other to fight people that wanted to evacuate me.

    Or that one time I had to hide in the attic & do it very quietly.

    Or that time I had to do it with a super bright light in my face because there was something called “an interrogation” at the camp.






  • Yes, so the ease of the whole onboarding process & communities/groups that migrated there.

    No arguments on the first one (tho stupid on both sides).

    What my brainhole is telling me is that the second argument feels a tad too big seeing how Mastodon basically didn’t grew in the same timeframe. What they call “content” and “community” creation feels driven, the “wave” as you put it.

    (But again, this is just imho & ‘a feeling’, I have no sauce, not even that much personal experience)


  • It’s slightly more than a green(blue?)washed Twatter.

    The fact it’s getting such a stellar rise over Mastodon is imho a bit sus - people behind it have coin & reach (political), I’m sure monies are being pumped into the bluesky sensationalization, like influences & media articles.

    Twatter has/had a lot of monetization potential & now is even more of a (really incredibly direct) political-tool, there are bound to be interest groups that would benefit from cutting it a bit. But all of them want more monies, so they ofc won’t help fossy things.
