Yep.

I get the reasoning behind the photographer having the rights to photos, but it just doesn't sit right that the human subject of those photos has no rights at all.

Yeah I feel like there needs to be a huge asterisk by name declarations that, while formal/official in the barest sense, are blatantly arbitrary.

Literally no one ever called it "Gulf of America" until January. I appreciate the generally thoughtful conversation on OSM, but there's no reason that declaration should be taken seriously.

I agree that defederation is vastly overused, and simple account migration should be a priority.

It's a bit of a gloss (as most microblogging posts are), but the essence of it is that words in themselves can't really hurt you unless you let them: https://x.com/tylerthecreator/status/285670822264307712

Yeah I'm aware that it means "emotional safey" the way they're using it. But they're still being hyperbolic, because emotional safety in the context of opinions on the Internet is just not meaningful. In a relationship one can speak of emotional safety in context of emotional manipulation or violence, but on a microblogging platform? The axiom of Tyler the Creator still applies, and we're not even talking about targeted harassment.

The "safety" thing is a bit hyperbolic. I wish they'd just say "the quality of the interactions is going down" or "poor moderation" or something else a little more honest.

Twitter is a shitty platform in structure, format, and moderation. I'm glad Debian's not on it. But I am disappointed in them for using hyperbolic rhetoric.

Leaving the platform would have no impact either. You are talking about something different.
