Those who think it's a good idea, consider this.

Mastodon can be federated with Lemmy.

TruthSocial is running a modified instance of Mastodon.

Do you really want those or any other neighbors dropping in, unmoderated, or rather, moderated according to their own standards?

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So, the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me, and he immediately says, "no. Get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey I'm not doing anything, I'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. Now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest, but it was all Nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And I was like, oh ok, and he continued.

"You have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in, and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends, and they stop being cool, and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So, you have to shut them down."

And I was like, 'oh damn.' and he said, "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

‘Pretty staggering’: Thousands of California police officers could be stripped of their badges under new law (www.sfchronicle.com)

California’s police standards commission is bracing to decertify or suspend 3,000 to 3,500 police officers each year for serious misconduct under a new state law, according to estimates from the commission....

The estimates come as the Newsom administration is seeking to roll back part of the law that would require the commission to provide investigative records in response to public records laws.

The change wouldn’t completely shield those records from disclosure because members of the public could still request them through local police departments, but criminal justice reform advocates and press freedom groups argue the change would make those records harder to access.

Why can't Newsom just leave it alone? Is the police union really that powerful? The fact that this passed should show that it isn't.

Christianity believes in an incredibly weak good. One, who must be defended at all times, and at all costs.
