Let us be honest: if Mastodon was not such a complete mess and so hard to setup and administrate, if anyone could install a full server (small instance, up to 10 users top) using a cheap second hand Linux PC and a couple of hours of work, Threads (Meta / Facebook) and others would have no power of the Fediverse.

Think about that for a second.

We are talking in reverential terms about Mastodon, but it should not be the only game in town.

The worst part about Ahsoka is that I know the Red Letter Media guys are never going to watch it, and therefore won't have a chance to convince all these internet weirdos pretending it's good that it's terrible.

As you may know, people on the #Internet try to make money out of every shit sometimes even through #fraud (or maybe often). So my #questions are: now who is here just to make the world a real good place without asking anything in return? What are your #ideas ? What are you building? Where to start in #robotics and #math ? What field should we study? What do YOU (#reader) think I should know?

OTD in 2014 @rt_com ‘apologized’ for airing a fabricated story about a child being crucified in Ukraine to provide justification for our invasion that has killed thousands.

Yesterday the people who made it up starting admitting it was a lie.

Indictment against Trump is absolutely devastating.

It documents that Trump:

Illegally retained America's most sensitive national security secrets

Refused to return them, even after being subpoenaed

Lied to his attorneys so they would lie to the FBI

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.
