Which I would never respond to on Mastodon, as it's terrible for discussions.

I follow topics and have discussions on Lemmy, keep up with individuals and announcements on Mastodon, and look at cool photos on Pixelfed.
None of my accounts are following anything on other systems.

The reason I'm in this community is for discussions like this. We disagree on the nature of using he fundamental architecture of the Fediverse.
I think using Mastodon to engage in Lemmy discussions is extremely awkward without the threading to keep it all organized. Equally, Lemmy is designed specifically around following communities. Following individuals on Mastodon breaks the pattern of the feed. And good luck following either Mastodon accounts or Lemmy groups in Pixelfed.

However, having multiple decentralized servers within each system, is plenty of reason for the Fediverse to be better than a centralized platform. They don't Need to interoperate with each other.

I have literally zero interest in cross pollination between social media types.
They each have their own interfaces that work best for their communities and content types. You're always missing something trying to access one from another.

Exactly. People need to stop conflating enjoyment with quality.
I love this movie. It's such a big swing, in so many ways, by so many people. I enjoy every min. And respect the hell out of what it was trying to be.

Should play an alien robot with full animatronic head, that communicates exclusively with beeps.

Total non sequitur. You're way off topic now.

Now you're moving the goal post, and pointing to a slippery slope, still trying to justify your original misunderstanding. It's alright to be wrong sometimes.

I don't doubt that. But its still a large stretch, to think the UK passed a law applying to all UK citizens, specifically to give the US access to a few thousand dual citizens.

I'm thinking LoudWaterHombre was right. You simply have an extremely US centric mindset.

Being in police custody, means they are legally responsible for his health and safety.
They can require something like a vest on those grounds.

Unless you're thinking of hiding money off shore, there's not much to do.

That stretch of logic sounds an awful lot, like a post-hoc justification after learning it wasn't about the US. But ok
