Because he is a rich fuck that gets off on becoming the center of any piece popular culture he can stick his fingers in. Honestly an upgrade compared to all the other rich fucks though . . .

We really need a different word for each

The link appears broken, so I don't know the specifics here, but defederation really needs to be a last resort as it kinda halts any chance of the conversation going the other way too. It helps create and support the extremified echo chambers that actively cause so many of our societal problems.

If the instance is particularly problematic or exclusively causes harm, then it might be appropriate to nuke em. But it also effectively tells the entirety of Lemmy that this is not a conversation worth having, and that it is wrong (at least socially) to ever interact with these people. And, it tells the folks being defederated that whatever they are saying must be valid because it gets an extreme reaction. People are exceedingly unlikely to admit wrongdoing and change their behavior when action is taken against their community of like-minded buddies (echo chamber), they double down and become even more polarized.

I know you mentioned speaking against defederation before, and I obviously don't fully understand the details here, but I feel like it bears repeating that defederation has to go beyond the moral opinions of any individual if we want to stave off circling the drain of overreactive garbage that places like Reddit or Twitter became.

Not feed into any of the conspiracy theories, but if anyone ever wanted to quickly control an entire countries populace, this would be a great way to do it.

Ah, did you have to talk to a nearly genetically identical girl whose skin happens to have more pigmentation? Maybe it was all the gays calling you names and perverting your children, or did the disabled people steal your seat on the short bus again?

Are your poor whittle feelings gonna be ok? Do you need to colonize someone else's home and murder a bunch people to feel better?

Legit the only way I can figure out how to spell it

Long hair? Wait, am I gay . . .

I always tell people to go back in time 100 years and try talking to people. Try 200 years, or 500, a 1000 years even. It grows increasingly difficult to communicate, and yet the language of today has no specific or definitive genesis.

It is language's inherent nature to evolve and shift to fit the needs and whims of culture in its time. Denying that change or insisting upon a linguistic book of arbitrary rules, is childishly naive, ultimately unproductive, and a fucking massive waste of creativity.
