    Isn’t this ok? I’m not saying it’s better… just OK?

    I don’t know if this is just me but why is there always a race to be the “most popular/larger platform”?

    Isn’t this kind of race to be the most popular the reason why a lot of platforms/companies/jobs/games/etc are suffering today? Growth for the sake of growth and forcing something to be more popular just because it needs to be more popular is just kind of sad.

    It’s not like “corporate fediverse/lemmy” needs more users… At least this is my opinion.



  • Sorry for the long text, TL;DR at the end.

    Maybe I’m wrong or saw it incorrectly, but the feeling I got about that hearing was that there were many people with different ideas on what the topic was about and nothing was actually answered.

    Some reps were asking about extraterrestrial lifeforms and spaceships, some others about UAPs made by enemy countries that could potentially pose a threat to the US national security, some others talked about the Chinese ballon and the incompetence of the government when dealing with those events (which kinda falls into the previous point, but it was more of critique to the government rather than a question IMO)

    Then the “whistleblower” (the one that talked a lot and said nothing) was just focusing in wanting some kind of place/means/way to report those kinds of incidents with UAPs/UFOs anonymously because they faced what he called “administrative terrorism”, and the other two seemed to literally just want to talk about UFOs and spaceships.

    The “whistleblower” didn’t really say anything outside of “I can’t confirm nor deny that in an open setting, I’ll gladly give you the information in a closed one”, there was nothing substantial about that hearing IMO.

    Non-human biological material =/= extraterrestrial material, and in one of the questions, which was something along the lines of “where did you get that info?” He basically replied with a “just trust me bro, I’ve talked to some people”.

    DISCLAIMERS: I stopped listening to it after about 4 hours and a half, so I don’t know if he said anything substantial after that. Also, English is not my first language so if I made any mistakes or am talking out of my ass, do call me out on it.

    TL;DR: IMO that hearing was just a waste of time and nothing of importance was said.
