Been seeing a lot of posts about #Meta and #Facebook and #instagram federating and specifically arguments that any instance that's run for profit should be blocked by default. That's absolutely nonsensical.You WANT every large company to have it's own instance where has it's own verified accounts. You WANT every news org (including for profit ones) to have their own instance. You want EVERY organization to offer a federated instance hosting official accounts. That's how the fediverse WINS

@kjr There really isn't any personal data they gain by creating a federated product. If they want our posts and info, it's already on the open internet. If there is some additional data only available to a federated server, they could spin up a mastodon instance called "bobs-corral" and start collecting.

@kjr I disagree, but also it doesn't matter. For all we know meta could already have 15 or 150 instances already up running gentle bots that fly under the radar. Collecting, harvesting, compiling

@kjr Maybe we're talking past each other. Passively, you could collect users, followers, who liked what, who boosted what, post time stamps. What else are you considering necessary to build a graph?

Would be able to enter a "toll wage" into Google maps. Like, I'm willing to pay $10/hr for tolls. So a route with $5 in tolls would have to be at least 30 minutes faster then a route with no tolls for me to take it.

@khird Frankly I'm kind of insulted that Google thinks my personal information isn't considered valuable enough to pay for this feature

Every union should have an explicit ownership target. Ie: Starbucks union should say, "our goal is to own 2% of $SBUX stock". Optimally, you'd want enough to secure a board seatThe bosses are less likely to toss your ideas when you get a say in which bosses are hired

@khird That's a good conflict to have. Sometimes a company may be struggling or in an industry undergoing transformation. The answer may be, there is no more money, so now what?That's exactly where you want the most union input. If the pie is getting smaller, some "investors" aren't invested in the ongoing operations

@khird I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the unions incentives don't line up with it's members" here. The union is the members, so any benefit flows thru to them. As opposed to a corporation where the employees do not receive benefits to the corporation.It's not clear to me *who* is getting the dividend in your scenario. It seems like it would go into a fund managed my the union, just like anything else
