Every once in a while I am amazed that one of the contenders for social media dominance right now is literally named "blue sky"

It's a term from project planning, and I'm pretty sure it's intended to mean "what you do if there were no constraints"

Well, I got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.

I reported and blocked the account. I also looked at the instance admin's account and it's clear he's also a white supremacist. So that instance will be blocked on flipboard.com and flipboard.social as well as shared with other instance admins as a problematic instance for them to take action if they also deem appropriate. Took all of 2 minutes to help make the fediverse a bit better for everyone.

And the best thing is that anyone in the fediverse can do this too. Decentralized moderation FTW.

I keep replying with this, so I'll just post it...

Trump has tried multiple times to rile his idiot base to show up in big numbers at whatever courthouse he's visiting.

They never show. Tiny numbers, aimless morons with deranged signs & costumes.

I'm not worried about violent "civil war" people keep warning me about. I'm way more worried about GOP dominated legislatures & fascist plans/judges to cheat us out of our votes, help TFG. They're learning from their criminal mistakes.

Mob? NSM.
