Defederation is one-way. An instance you defederated with still has access to your instances posts.

People who speak English as a second language are able to engage with a platform in which the majority of users speak English. People who only speak English or that and their local language are unable to engage with a platform where the language used is not their own or English.
More people are able to communicate with a shared language than with languages which are not mutually understood.
One other factor contributes: the U.S. has a large population which shares both a language and some culture. While multiple other countries may share languages, the populations which share a similar level of culture are smaller.
Then you have posts on social media being ranked in some way by engagement. One post may be relatable to 100k people, and five other posts are relatable to 20k each. The single post is ranked higher.
The internet is not something you just dump something on.
For a healthy diet make sure to only eat reasoned rebuttals sparingly. You should get most of your nutrition from name calling. /s
Each level of argument has a purpose. Know your audience and use whatever is most effective. You’re not going to get anywhere calling a doctor a poopyhead just as you won’t accomplish anything by presenting facts to a conspiracy theorist.
Your audience will be most effectively convinced by logic, emotion, or authority. It should be pretty simple to figure out which one to use.
In some contexts arguing is synonymous with conflict.
When I argue in a public forum my goal is directed more to third parties than to an individual who may not be acting in good faith.
Why does that person need to have an actual account on Threads?
They don’t. They just use their existing Instagram account.
It’s literally the same account you already have.
Yeah it’s a bit self-selective. “Trying something unfamiliar” is roughly synonymous with “learning”. And people who treat learning as a hobby tend to share a vibe as they say.
These days even Minecraft mods are one click to install hundreds at a time. The average person can get by with nothing more than folders on their desktop.
That’s just how the internet works. Early adopters are those willing to try something unfamiliar.
Yeah I play games to enjoy the game, not to speculate on real money investments.
If you want confetti every time you make a trade, just play Robinhood.
Developing nations have an easier path to renewables. There is less resistance in building new infrastructure than in modifying existing infrastructure. You don’t have to deal with hundred year old equipment when you start with modern equipment.
A warrant is still more secure than public access.
Where were you when Greta pulled up with three dozen ships of the line, each with 140 guns to blockade Sweden’s oil port?
With Reddit that data could be kept between the users and admins.
I do not have any insider knowledge regarding whether Reddit has received requests for user data.
Spent fuel can be reprocessed in a modern reactor. Even if that wasn’t possible the storage is extremely safe.
Capitalism causes enough actual problems that you don’t need to make up more. Making your data available to businesses is marginally more secure than publishing it freely.
Corporations have a financial interest in safeguarding your data. It’s not valuable to advertisers if it can be gathered for free.
People enter into contracts with individual entities regularly without expecting that any rando could join at will.
The code reads: moderate your own instance however you like.
