   Slavery and Jim Crow were both legal.

   John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was not.

   In 1894 it was ruled that the Sherman Antitrust Act could be used to stop _unions_ from "interfering in commerce"

   The promulgation of functional slavery until the 1980s in Louisiana was similarly legal

   The deportation of miners from Idaho Springs in 1903 was of dubious legality but the people who orchestrated it got away with virtually no consequences

   Legal and moral are very different

   @evan An added dimension is that there are some fediverse implementations that are indeed server monoliths, even though most are not.

   In a pitch presentation I've previously given, I tried to visualize the differences to closed social networks like this. A dot is supposed to represent one person, and Mastodon is more of a nebula than a single unit.

   I'd be open to suggestions for improvement. 🙂

   Edit: The next post in your thread has the improvement ideas. 😄 I'll take that on board, thanks!

   No, they are not.

   In fact, they are less fascist than Biden is.

   Meaningful elections? You mean, like the "meaningful" primaries where the DNC practically rigged the primaries to enable Hillary Clinton to win, then did nothing when she decided not even to launch a campaign in critical swing states, thus leading to Trump's victory?

   You mean, Democrats' continued attempts to sue Indy Leftist candidates off state ballots so that you can monopolize Leftist votes for free?

   @freemo Having had experience in large organizations, it feels like you have a lot of confidence that certain things happen when they just don't. In engineering, we have tons of low-level company-wide procedures that I wouldn't imagine Sundar knows anything about, for example. You think someone like that reviews everything we do? I can tell you they do not.

   In this particular example, I can see some mid-managers moving around between his companies and copying processes. I can easily see this kind of low-level detail, especially one you wanted to keep quiet, from being discussed in meetings with more sr. management. Probably happens all the time.

   I do have a bias toward not assuming someone is racist without decent evidence, I guess; like I said #rorschachtest

   What's the other mountain? I just claimed it was a mountain of trash with some evidence, do you have any other exceptions in mind? (you said earlier to someone else you weren't interested in this argument, so understood if you'd rather not.)

   @amici @jeff The worst 1% of a small server is a handful of people. The worst 1% of a Threads-sized server is a million people. It's that simple, really. One is human-scale, one is not.

   In addition to opt-in, maybe a web of trust, mutuals vouching for people from the big server, could be a way to carefully let messages through.

   @LikeItOrLumpIt Subtoots are mysterious! I have learned that if I think a subtoot (or whatever it's called depending what platform) is directed at me? It's not.

   In this case, I'm going to assume it is anyway. You're welcome. 😂
