I think there's a schism forming in transhumanism that, by 2030, will be obvious to everyone. It'll be similar to classic vs modern liberalism, with classic transhumanists being the grinder/diybio/body freedom maxis, and modern being the WEF/Davos/AI Safety types. They'll both agree that radical tech can improve the human condition, but the modern branch will be willing to embrace totalitarianism in order to (as they argue) prevent global catastrophe.

anyways, as is glaringly obvious: all my homies are body freedom maxis

NGL when I see a mastodon post that's longer than like 500 characters most of the time my eyes just glaze over it

Are you tagged in a thread that you don't want to take part in any more?

You can mute just the conversation itself, no one will know you've done this:

-Log in through website or a third party app, go to one of your posts in the thread, click on ⋯ and "Mute conversation".

-If you haven't posted in the thread, go to a post where you were tagged, then ⋯ and "Mute conversation".

-If you change your mind, do same thing but select "Unmute conversation".

The official app doesn't have this yet.
