Well, it's clearly not safe if you work in the IT industry.

Facebook is already a bad actor on its own platform. They are not going to be any different with the Fediverse. The meeting under NDA for a select few instance admin is already pretty fucking sus. Not just because it looks similar to union-busting tactics, but because that's exactly how it started with XMPP before they crippled it.

And even in the unlikely event that I end up wrong, what benefit would federating with Facebook bring us? We don't need them, and as a company their only purpose is to make profits, not to make Fedi better. There is no positive outcome possible for us, no matter how you slice it. We need to defederate before they even get a chance to do anything.

First find is a comment removed for simply pointing out that China's population is oppressed and Russia's population is being thrown into a meatgrinder.

Fucking yikes.

The Alt-Right does not believe in the power of words. But they do know that others do. And the Alt-Right also seek power at any costs. So when Elon promises something, for him, these are just words to reach his goals. Because he knows others will believe him and that's all he needs. The meaning of the words is irrelevant, only the results matter. It's all about finding the correct "incantation" to get the desired outcome.

Yeah, the moment he talked about shutting down most of Twitter's microservices in prod as if it was a genius idea, that's when the illusion shattered for me.

Made me realize he's really an idiot, it's as if he's trying to emulate the Pointy Haired Boss.
