Yeah. I totally get that. There’s the technical aspect of things, and the the ethical which carries a perceivable looming threat: “We’re coming for you.” I think people sense it, but are trying to play fair and ethical with a monster that has proven time-and-time again that it doesn’t give a shit about our wittle-bitty feewings. That’s the icky feeling I have at the moment. I understand your reason for sounding the alarm and appreciate that you’re sort of like ‘Holdup. Y’all seeing this?’ From there, I think the question becomes, how do we activate our inner Public Enemy and fight the power… or do we? Is it okay to just do us with the hopes of staying under the radar?
I like that you brought this up. Posts like this inspire important conversations that can (at the very least) inspire mods and creators to access the “how” and “why” of participating in the fediverse.
