It’s hard to retain patience when literally everything everywhere all the time constantly tries to shovel ads down your throat

Please cite an actual source for that claim.

The powder that keeps on giving mmmm

Oh dear lord. What did they say in support of their “Mozilla is shady” argument?

Exactly! This isn’t about monetization, so raw numbers don’t matter. As long as a given community has enough active members to promote continued use and provide its members with interesting material, that’s enough.

I’ve never seen this before but it looks excellent! I’ll have to spin an instance up to tinker with this weekend!

I’ve been selfhosting a server as well for well over a year now. A $5/month vps and $2/year domain power that and Baikal for all my calendars!

There is nothing wrong with being distrustful of blatant propaganda.

But then how do you justify keeping “middle management” hall monitors on a payroll after admitting they’re pointless?

No no no this will be fineeeee it’ll all be fineeeeeee cries in world war final edition

Wait a minute…you mean to tell me there’s a class problem involved here?

While I appreciate the article’s point, and agree with its thesis that the Republicans are increasingly a fascist cult of personality around a rapist and serial financial criminal, I hate that it acts like this is so surprising. This political point is the direct result of decades of cutting social safety nets, deregulating industry, and letting a small cadre of people become wealthy beyond comprehension by controlling what people do, what people watch, and what people read every day of their lives. It’s not hard to grasp: a socially-conservative kleptocracy facing the loss of its international hegemony is faced with two options: 1) reform in ways that better the lives of its people at the expense of a fraction of the leading class’ wealth; or 2) double down and descend into fascism.

Until we get people to really act beyond posting online and relatively small, fully peaceful and sanctioned protests, we will never stop this descent. And the worst part is that this is all so god damned predictable.

Exactly. They want a leader that reflects them: a swine.

Before anyone wastes time replying to this guy, let me save you the trouble. He’s probably about 35 and thinks 2001-style troll comments in favor of right wing trash are witty and clever. He’s really not worth your time.

I mean….at this point it’s just Darwinism, right?

Wow that’s racist.

Joking, of course. It’s an ethnostate with a deeply authoritarian government that is actively commuting human rights atrocities and violating international laws and treaties.

Typing that out I just realized why we support them.

Someone on here tried to argue IN FAVOR of ads?

Same! Not to knock Mastdon, but I feel like I don’t get it in the same way I never got Twitter. Does that make sense? Somehow, microblogging doesn’t click for me.
