a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?
I kind of like the "troll-industrial complex", but agree on your over take on the writing. Gone are the days when writers could produce great alliterations like "nattering nabobs of negativity".
The escalation may have nothing to do with the slow demise of Twitter. It may be the case that the liberals have gotten used to one level of trolling and ignore it. Trollers then have to become even more extreme to get their attention.

Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County DA's Office is now in doubt, multiple sources said.
We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?
I don't think Trump's lawyers have anything to worry about. If Trump had anything to prove his innocence, he would have brought it out a long time ago. He may even say he has all this great evidence, but now his lawyers won't let him produce it so you'll just have to trust him.
When I do a search on some topic and Reddit comes up as a choice, it's my last option. I feel guilty when I do choose it. I've drunk the fediverse coolaide. It tastes good.
For a rough estimate, double the Celsius temp and add 32 to get Fahrenheit. Subtract 32 and divide by 2 to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you want an accurate conversion multiply by 9/5 instead of 2.

Amazon is known for its anti-competition practices.

Brick and mortar store do it too. Pharmacies sell name brand drugs and their own generic version next to them. I buy the generic version. I would like to lose that option. Amazon is a different story.
In the end of the article, the author plugged their competing platform so this isn't a neutral opinion. I still agree with it. A federation of online retailers would be an interesting idea. Given that it involves exchanging money for products, it would be a lot more completed than kbin, lemmy, or Mastodon.
Any surge in kbin or lemmy signups?
I'd check myself, but don't know there to look. We might not see much change until Tuesday when the long weekend is over.

How does people tab work?
Does one automatically become a person as a function of registering with kbin.social or is something you have to do manually? I didn't an option for creating a person so is it limited in some way? I'm mainly just curious, not sure I want to be a person 😉

I just made a batch of Amer Boudreau, which is Jamie Boudreau's version of Amer Picon. His recipe is closer to the older version of Amer Picon that had a higher ABV. Even after cutting down the recipe, I ended up with several liters. I won't have to make it again any time soon...
