   Billionaires should not exist.

   We can always argue to eternity about the finer points of economic justice beyond that, but if we could just at least focus on that one part of the programme, we’d likely solve most of the urgent issues all at once.

   As for the “how”: I naively think that merely enforcing aggressive and effective taxation that goes asymptotically to 100%, would do most the work. But admittedly we are fast reaching a point where a bit of guillotine-based coercion might help.

   @freemo @mastodonmigration @dansup I can personally confirm thst "this user" — i.e. me — only attempted to post it once.

   As a regular Facebook post.

   I've documented what happened in greater depth elsewhere.

   But basically there was another user who posted that they had tried to post a link to Pixelfed on Facebook and were blocked.

   To verify their claim, I tried writing a simple post on my newsfeed asking "Anyone here use Pixelfed?" with a link to Pixelfed dot social.

   My last interaction on the site was in July 2024, so definitely no spamming in terms of volume.

   Within 3 seconds, I got an automated response.

   Jason Koebler from 404 Media tried the same thing, and got the same result: https://www.404media.co/meta-is-blocking-links-to-decentralized-instagram-competitor-pixelfed/

   A number of other tech news sites, including Engadget, began running the story: https://www.engadget.com/social-media/meta-admits-it-deleted-links-to-decentralized-instagram-competitor-pixelfed-194624098.html

   At this point, Meta acknowledged it had been blocking links to Pixelfed "by mistake". It no longer seems to be doing it 😊
