@mttaggart @vfrmedia @philcowans our personal conclusion is that any plan that's going to rely on a corporation as a legal shield is a bad plan at this moment in history

@mttaggart @vfrmedia @philcowans but as we say, we've had ... it must be close to a hundred iterations of this conversation, at this point
and nobody ever, ever, ever wants to be realistic about that at the outset. everyone wants to wave it off as a concern that if you have that problem, you've already lost, or it's for somebody else to worry about, or nobody could expect more..... regardless of how it's put, the proposed course of action is always denial

@mttaggart @vfrmedia @philcowans sorry to be harsh about that. we totally understand that people who are not in groups that will be the first targets for state-sponsored extermination are strongly incentivized to just walk away.
Taggart :ifin:mttaggart@infosec.exchangeJun 27, 2026, 9:31 PM@ireneista @vfrmedia @philcowans Mmm, it defeats a purpose, and probably the noblest one. I'd say the reasons to decorpo are not limited to the extremes of resistance.
I don't think it's really fair to expect small groups to fight the state in that way. It's a risk you accept for other trade-offs.

@mttaggart @vfrmedia @philcowans what it comes down to is that as a visible trans person we're not really having the same conversation, which, we get it.
