I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

@feditips I worry mastodon doesn’t seem to have a plan for enabling smaller instances to access tending posts on larger ones. I’ve set up multiple accounts so I can check out the “Posts” under “Explore” on each server. Even across the larger instances, they differ. Is there any effort to aggregate trending posts and their replies across all instances?

The Mastodon centralists are coming out of the woodwork today with, “But it makes onboarding easier!”

So what?

The goal here isn’t to grow for the purpose of growth. Growth, in and of itself, is meaningless.

The goal is to decentralize social media.

What are the odds Trump avoids conviction?

Here are the most recent stats --

Among federal criminal defendants in 2022:

294 WENT TO TRIAL AND WON

65,462 WERE CONVICTED AND SENTENCED

That's about a 99.6% conviction rate
