Its nonsensical.

If the billionaire class wanted everyone dead they wouldn’t do it with measles

I have et said anything like that, and it’s painfully obvious that you’re deflecting.

Given your criticism of Wong, I had thought that surely you would have some preferred strategy.

Instead it seems like you don’t really have e any idea what you’re talking about, other than “labor bad”

That’s not what I suggested, nor what I asked.

How would you like our foreign affairs minister to address this with a global super power on whom we are heavily dependent as one of our closest allies ?

This was such a bizarre interaction.

El Sayed seems brilliant at responding to these gotcha questions.

I thought so. No answers just criticism because she didn’t show up with a “Free Palestine” shirt.

I wonder how the foreign affairs minister from a liberal, national oor ON government would handle this?

Hmm… No most post apoc fiction is mindful of these issues.

My main concern is that most novels have a token nerdy / accountant type who’s role is to demonstrate how useless our skills are in a post apocalyptic wasteland. That’s me really. An accountant.

LOL.

It’s the way I say it is because reasons and any contrary information is a fabrication.

Indeed.

I don’t get the hate for Wong?

I understand that labor is not left enough for fediverse users.

She’s a diplomat though, she represents Australia to the world. It’s not her job to say mean things to the people you don’t like.

That’s what diplomats do?

As a diplomat, how would you like Wong to address this?

It seems that claim is not really true:

Besides which, do you want politicians to vote according bro their constituents wishes or according to their own interests?

A “low population phase” is a nice way to say “post apocalypse”.

I really enjoy this genre of fiction, but I don’t think I would enjoy it IRL.

Of course we have them, but the ratio will increase as user numbers rise.

Federation does not protect us from these issues in any way. In fact it’s very susceptible to misinformation through federation.

More users also increases the appeal for bots, purveyors of misinformation, trolls, and assholes generally.

Yes but more users doesn’t necessarily make a spoon collecting community more viable.

Am easier pathway is to encourage existing users to visit this type of community.

Additionally, consider carefully whether the fediverse can support a spoon collecting community, or perhaps you should just post about spoon collecting in the general “cutlery collecting” community.

More users is not necessarily more better.

… but I do agree there are very few active communities.

The focus should be on making the fediverse the best it can be, rather than focusing on attracting users.

Well, what were the US objectives?

I guess everyone stopped talking about Epstein so maybe that was the win.

The lot of them are creepy and weird.

Yep. Same in Australia.

I think 20 years ago an American would have told you they have the freedom to choose the level of cover they want, starting from none at all.

Now things have deteriorated through collusion or corruption or price fixing or whatever.

They’ve made so much money they have too much influence to do away with them.
