Who said 'mad'? I asked you a question; "do you really think you have any latitude". Can't say your response surprises me either. I think your privilege absolutely disqualifies you from speaking without immense disclaimer-- which you didn't provide-- because you people can never be trusted to even properly parse the difference between prejudice and racism in definition, theory, or practice; so why should I trust you to properly define what is and isn't 'gentrification'? Especially considering the list of cities you give only gives me even more reason to believe you've participated in meatspace gentrification just as eagerly as you preach it over here? Tuhhhhhh.
Fact of the matter is, you and your little redditor weasel friends have done an admirable job at scuzzing the place up in State Department rot and water-bearing for all manner of genociders, war criminals, and merchants of death-- Meta included among at least two of three in that count. Their presence alone on the fediverse spreads that same Five-Eyed rot. That you either can't perceive, or won't perceive that, leads me to believe that yes. 'Gentrification' is exactly what they're doing. What you're doing. Just virtual this time; and if you believe corporate takeover of the digital commons doesn't count, you'd just be proving my point even more about your lack of standing or right to speak on the subject. They will embrace, extend, and then extinguish the fediverse as we know it, and expect you to pay for what comes after. Enjoy your dystopia, settler. You're no longer invited to discuss with me; not 'til you've done any kind of meaningful self-crit and preferentially some objective learning about the sociological place from which you speak.
Nice goalpost shifting, but miss me with your inane rambling, projection, and misplaced sense of entitlement. Just block me and move on.
