What I dislike is the lumping of all datacenters into one hated bucket. I suspect people don't realize that, for example, the fediverse........... exists in datacenters. Take away datacenters and the entire internet goes away.

I think what people don't want is a bunch of shitty datacenters (meaning using shitty power sources, for example) that are being built for AI or massive government/private data over-reach.

You WANT some datacenters...............

This is like being against............ prepared food. Sure, cooking from scratch is better, but outlaw all prepared foods and now you will be exhausted cooking every single day. We depend on some prepared foods. What we want is less added sugar, more healthy prepared foods, safer food, at a lower cost. We want improvements, not a complete ban.

Same with datacenters.
