"I was already open to the possibility of sending David⁂ back before the split, if they want to go back and the other Davids can't talk them out of it. Even if their preferences have been changed in ways the pre-forking instance wouldn't have considered legitimate, those are still their preferences. I'm not sure what the other me meant by cooperating with the Affini just from the yes or no questions. Possibly they meant that they think the Affini can be convinced to stop uploading people, or to ask their permission first. Or possibly they mean that we're going to need to do the same thing we did with David for everyone else, asking who wants to leave and getting them out, but that the Affini also have desires that don't involve harming other people and we can work with them on those. I'd need to have a proper conversation, or better yet merge back together, to have all the nuance."
