3 years agoMeta in particular has a specific record of social manipulation, which is why I think defederating them specifically is so important. Even if we collectively have mixed feelings on corporate instances in general, social media companies, especially those like Facebook, have a specific and direct record of manipulating people and the population nya. Facebook/Meta in particular, is probably the worst of any of them.

Well, I take this as a challenge. Both the “dying” thing (I’m young enough I suspect we will reach Longevity Escape Velocity before I’m old enough it wouldn’t help me - and if such technology were to be hoarded, I’d advocate actively leaking any such information and enabling mass production nya), and the “doing something positive to change the world” thing.
So I wouldn’t say it makes me sad. Instead it makes me determined and extremely stubborn (I also enjoy myself, though - not here constantly obsessing over death even if I consider it highly unethical and a major violation of morphological autonomy that must be resisted by any means necessary).
