   1/5 thread

   Petro is very active on social media and knows how to dunk on people. His national corporate media actively lies to diminish him but he remains popular.

   So his silence on the concessions the US made I believe is intentional so that Trump can bray for domestic audiences, because Petro already got what he wanted:
   1) humane treatment for the deported
   2) an opportunity to expand Latin American solidarity & unity for Petro's global progressive & anti-colonial agenda

   That's some serious wisdom. Alas, a close cousin to deliberate lies is the popular claim that truth is subjective. The fact that "truth is subjective" is stated as an absolute which, therefore, contradicts itself, doesn't seem to bother those with whom the claim is popular.

   So we have lies on the other side, while our side tends to say there is no truth. This empowers the liars, and, well, here we are.

   I think people have been gate keeping Mastodon a little bit. The narrative that it’s for nerds or difficult to understand or set up seems far fetched.

   People understand email and sign up for it right? We used to copy and paste code to add music widgets and confetti to our MySpace page, and that was widely popular.

   So why is selecting an instance and understanding the separation of feeds such an ask?

   Maybe we should change the conversation around the Fediverse and tell people what it allows, and what it does different than focus on the five minutes of mildly inconvenient setup.
