I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it’s important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don’t want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

    “American companies” smh, let me introduce you to “The City of London”, not to be confused with London the city in England.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    The UK has a metropolitan region called “The City” (of London) where banks get to basically play without rules. It is for that reason the financial capital of the entire world.

    The UK has a square mile dedicated to white collar crime and fraud and it exists because the international wealthy were more powerful than the monarchy ever could be, let’s not pretend Americans are the ones who gave up. This is a very long, very old battle - older than America the nation itself.
