I read in another thread that $2 trillion in stock value was lost within 15 minutes of his speech.

  1. Q: Why are they federated?
  2. A: because it would be worse if they were.

That answer does not address why they are still being federated. It states they already are already unfederated. Then they give an incorrect description of what federation is. Then goes on to defend them staying federated.

They are federated. That’s why we all see their bullshit. If they were defederated nobody outside their instance would be bothered.

Keeping them federated so users can sign up somewhere else makes no sense. It’s some GOP level mental gymnastics. They can go sign up for any other instances at anytime. The people there choose to be there.

I’m think you are mistaken on what federated means.

Federated means they are part of the fediverse. Their post and comments propagate throughout the fediverse.

If they were defederated we would not see or hear from them.

Seriously, why are they federated?

They brigade and always argue in bad faith.

They degrade the experience for the entire fediverse. Everyone outside complains about them.

A chinese made building in Bangkok collapsed in the recent earthquake. It was the only building to collapse. Early reports show substandard steel and concrete. People died because of this. Then a group of chinese nationals were found removing all the construction documents from the site. They are currently in police custody.

No fucking way I ever get into anything chinese again.

They can force biometric unlocks. That cannot force you to give them your password.
