Again though, that’s a social problem, one that can even be eliminated through defederation. It’s not an ‘abandon all ships’ type of problem.
To be clear I am fully acknowledging that that situation isn’t good. I am very specifically pointing out that a state actor controlling and developing the platform is a much bigger problem, they are not comparable.
Depends on who you ask. It’s managing risks for me either way.
Also, you are literally comparing them while claiming they are not comparable.
This is like another version of the age-old “Grammar Nazi” disagreement over one definition over other, when there are actually multiple ones - except in this case, it involves a value judgement. You are right, but so am I, because either would have been a death sentence for me - if it didn’t provide benefits I was willing to manage risks for (what I was implying as the subcontext).
You are not me, you are right they are not the same, and it matters or doesn’t really matter for those whom both would have been a death sentence. If you are being consistent, I assume that you do not and will never use Matrix, while I still would. I’ll just have to be really careful and keep it limited so Mossad does not come over to assassinate me.
It goes beyond politics into flagrantly lying about moderation actions to push narratives.
