@wjmaggos @santiago @sexybenfranklin @aral absolutely 1000%. Make donations as easy as possible. Make subscriptions as easy as possible. Make all income streams easy so we have the muscle to kill traditional social media.

@gabriel @georgetakei bigotry never goes away. it is not defeated once, to never return. it is reborn anew constantly, and buildsunfortunate but truethe question is, to retain tolerance rights and democracy, how is bigotry vented and expungedmust it always be cyclical? must the cycle always have a crisis point that threatens everything?i don't know. I wish there were a way to manage the constant rise of bigotry without it always building to a point of violence war and destruction before receding, and then building and returning and threatening everything again

@yogthos @nivrig content creators need money. but the middle man is always inserting himself into the picture and making the experience worse to extract more money. for himself, not the content creatorthe problem is always the middle man parasite. if content creators and consumers could interact directly, content creators might even make more money because the bulk of media income isn't even going to themnow all we need is a large neutral digital content deliver mechanism that sits in every homehmmm. hmmm. hmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 then it's just a matter of the right decentralized softwarehmmm. hmmm. hmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔

@wjmaggos @yogthos @nivrig crypto(dodges rotten vegetables)but seriously there is more to crypto than that abomination bitcoin and the crypto bro casino circus. decentralized money, as the original dream, has nothing to do with all the disgusting cruft that came after. sometimes you need to go back to the original dream

@santiago @wjmaggos @yogthos @nivrig @w3c i'm sitting here cynically framing how an attempt to bring this to the usa would bring out the plutocrat funded manufactured outrage machine and they're talking points about this to scare dim bulbs ("socialism!" "fees are freedom!" "love your bank! hate your fellow man!")

@adhdeanaslfunny thing about ivermectin:if you're in a poor country, and you have a high parasite load, when you take ivermectin you have improvement with COVIDsimply put, with less parasite load the body has more resources to fight COVIDthis led to reports that ivermectin is effective against COVID *in poor countries in patients with high parasite load*only under these specific conditionsbut it's not as if science illiterate MAGA types understand thatanyway, this is how the whole ivermectin myth started

@wjmaggos @adhdeanasl yup. this is the threat of traditional centralized social media. on COVID and pretty much all important issues. millions are now "informed" by the loudest voices- anonymous edgelords, troll farms working geopolitical agendas, professional outrage machine "influencers", etc. they work people's ignorance and emotions to indoctrinate and move them into captured echo chambers. it's quite effective and a large effect on societytraditional social media is a really serious threat and i don't think we've seen the bottom yetit's why i am on mastodon and believe mastodon needs to get to a billion users. the decentralized nature of mastodon functions as a buffer against the worst of these effects

@chartier @OddDev they did not buy twitter to destroy itlook at trump's rise on twitter: they want to turn a tool that sparked the arab spring into a tool to kill western democracyand its current status indicates they are successfully doing thatso it's our job to abandon twittertwitter won't die financially. authoritarian countries will prop it up forever. until twitter ceases to be a valuable commodity for their troll farm efforts. and that depends upon us leaving it

@LevZadov @futurebird @msbellows "I don't care about who started it. I don't care whose fault it is."So then stop talking about it if you don't care.Ah but you do care: you're writing a multiparagraph reply that absolves Russia of blame, when it is to blame.You're intellectually and morally bankrupt with this weak handwaving and posturing.The worst part is your belief you're coming from some lofty position. When your rationale is repugnantly amoral.

@LevZadov @futurebird @msbellows "I don't care about who started it. I don't care whose fault it is. "i got this far and i stopped readingon these self-stated terms, you are telling me you do not wish to comment seriously on this topicbecause who started it, and whose fault it is, is not only relevant, it's the deciding factorif you ignore it, you can bloviate for years (which is also very telling, because you "don't care"... uhuh, yup)so i all i see is that you lack coherency or you are being purposefully deceitful. due to your lack of awareness of the most important factor, or your cheap manipulation by ignoring it

i just got out of a sh**show of a threadi want to say something to all #americans :#vote and make your vote countto not understand the stakes, and to think you have the *privilege* of not voting or voting third party, is an absurditya vote is not a love letter, it's strategy in a waryour heart may be in the right place, but your mind?i've engaged people who indicate otherwise, and the amount of bs i get in return is incredibledo whatever you want in life, say whatever you want. but you can't expect to post a rationale for wavering on a simple easy need for an obviously appreciable reason without getting some pushbacki understand the wisdom of silence. i understand people just want to ventbut i can never accept those who argue not voting or voting third party (and we should have #rankedchoicevoting so we do have viable third party options, but we're not there *today*) i can't bite my tongue. whatever the consequencesthe stakes are too high
