  • Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?

    I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.

    But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.

    Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.


  • “spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
    “too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.

    As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.
