@TonyStark@democracy.town @NatashaRomanoff@democracy.town Because it's someone you don't like, you're pleased about it. I get it, but recognize the advance of corporatism is not something to applaud. Large tech companies getting involved in political issues and taking actions on those issues is pandoras box. Good luck when they turn their attention to something you like, which they will.
@sullybiker You see, you're taking a longer term view. Most people I see posting online are only thinking "this will make it harder for people I don't like to post online or to organize their events", while I'm looking more at #$CORPORATIONS can coordinate their activities in opposition to a smaller entity like a #Fediverse site".
It's distressing, because people aren't seeing the precedents that they're allowing to be set.
I don't know anything at all about #Parler, except that it is supposed to be a site for right-wing folks. But what happens when the political climate changes and suddenly #MastoSoc is being kicked off of every possible service (along with the cloud of instances who hold their same views as mastodon.social and its userbase)?

@TonyStark@democracy.town @NatashaRomanoff@democracy.town For instance, do you consider it a good thing that Apple, AWS, Google, and Twitter have effectively shown they can remove competitors at will? Do you trust them to use this power wisely? Because I do not.
