@kkarhan Yes that is a risk.
But the investment in a new car is expensive.
And somebody would have to buy the thing anyway.
Having it trashed, would be environmentally even worse.
But I won’t blame anyone from scratching or otherwise vandalizing my car from now on.
It’s right.
We have been overshadowed by our sister account, @PixelFed@pixelfed.social
With more than twice our follower count, it just goes to show that Pixelfed has arrived.
We're not going anywhere, we are so appreciative of our Mastodon origin story.
We couldn't thrive without the fediverse, it doesn't matter what platform you are on.
It just matters you are here.
Praising Trump for his antitrust pick, as @protonprivacy CEO Andy Yen did (https://archive.is/l1WYU), reveals wilful ignorance of the slide towards authoritarianism. That's disappointing for a product that journalists and human rights defenders rely on.
It's not complicated: All Trump is interested in is to implement rewards for CEOs who bend the knee (tax breaks, deregulation, etc.) and punishments (investigations, bullying, antitrust) for those that step out of line.
@webology Because it's free, has infrastructure that I can control easily, it's easy for folks to pick up and understand, and it's easy to pull reports on.
It's not something "Django" competes with. It's a SaaS platform that has yet to be created would need to compete with and the immediate gap is pretty big.
The lamest form of "journalism" is two reporters/commentators having a conversation that adds absolutely nothing to anyone's understanding of what is going on.
It's also one of the most common forms, because it's WAY cheaper than doing actual journalism.
Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
