I find it contradictory to first praise the imprecision of language but then go on to identify terms who's imprecise use results in unproductive discussion and arguments. The author's biases were on display and their definitions were fairly imprecise to boot imo.

I really don't understand why you're nitpicking someone who is trying to drastically reduce their impact. What would you recommend they do?
Love it, a tale as old as time. No really, our ancestors were probably doing this for millennia.
Okay so NATO waits until a NATO member or members start something, then they join?
Didn't they start wars in Iraq and Libya too?
Hopefully NATO isn't stupid enough to take on anyone either
Do you understand the difference?
Yes, but you don't. You're promoting cutting off an entire group of viewpoints all on the flimsy justification that there are some shitty people and trolls on .ml (just block the bad users on your own ffs).
Defederating will create echo chambers across the fediverse where dissenting voices aren't heard by people who really need to consider a contrary opinion. That's censorship. Sure technically each individual user could go make a new account wherever they please, but that's an extra step and it's easier to police any dissent that trickles in. Don't tell me that's not censorship, I'm not stupid.
It's nice the fediverse doesn't have centralized control, (otherwise the tankies that built it would have banned everyone), but this place will ultimately produce nothing useful for society since it's devolving into isolated echochambers where people go to get intellectually jerked off when they feel sorry for themselves.
Did this leak happen before or after NYT published an investigation detailing how Israeli forces were raping and torturing defenseless Palestinian detainees brought in from the Gaza Strip?
Why is there a red-scare on Lemmy? I'm admittedly a bit of a suspicious person, but the concern about .ml and the suggestion to defederate seems manufactured. I struggle to believe a bunch of "liberals" on .world are so butthurt by the meanies on .ml that they need to censor them completely. It just seems astroturfed.
I bet an AI could do it
Bah, the data is on their websites, figure out how to collect it.
I bet the former owners initially made an $800,000 down payment. The timeline of price drops was rapid, just over a matter of months, so I'd guess the low selling point was probably pushed through by the bank trying to recover the money they lent as quickly as possible.
