       @feditips @Gargron Threads is going to lay in ActivityPub support whether we like it or not, because the EU won’t let them stay in business there if they don’t.  That ship has sailed;  nothing we do here can change that. What instance admins *can* do here is block Threads.  If they do, they’d also block Threads users from…easily moving  to their friendly neighborhood Mastodon host. Who would that help, and more importantly,  who would that hurt?

       @stux For what it’s worth, I think that’s the right call.

       @stux Context: the people who want to preserve the monuments to slavery want to bring it back. 😣

       @futurebird @emc2 That last point in particular.  If we don’t vote for kumquat in November (vs sewage!) we ain’t got no shot at getting our chocolate ganache for at least another two generations.

       @futurebird @RVLara23 Evokes Pinochet’s “elections”-at-gunpoint during Chile’s last dictatorship. That “shithole nation” thing Trump always complained about during his last term?  That’s not what he wants to *avoid* turning us into.  It’s what he wants us to *become*.

       One thing that isn’t discussed enough is what “meta”-level legal doctrine the Roberts Court has shredded:Stare Decisis. Yep: “Don’t ruin certainty — especially not the certainty that the corporate landscape lives and dies by — by overturning even poorly-decided principles, unless there is some insanely compelling reason to do so.”Dead, gone, bye bye, take it off the Bar Exam.

       @stux They all want attention, and the progressives still think there’s a chance for “their strongperson who will stick it to the right and make it all better”.Biden’s team is good enough and smart enough to ignore it.

       @stux Exactly.  If you use fascism to fight fascists, you become fascist yourself.  It’s the self-destruct button that’s embedded in any democracy.

       @maxleibman @JustOneMoreThing Beating Trump buys us all the chance to push our own “perfect” policy preferences via a new candidate in 2028, should Harris/Walz wind up disappointing in some way that’s important to you.  Not beating Trump means burying that chance for 20-40 years, maybe more.

       @stux All the insanity of Trump, and absolutely none of the charisma.
