   Look I'm just going to say it, all you people who are worshipping Luigi Mangione and treating him like some kind of hero for murdering an innocent person on the street, you're freaking weird, ok. You people are contributing to violence in this country. And I don't want to live in an America where you can be murdered while just walking to work.

   In a school? Fine.
   In a homeless shelter? Fine.
   In your own home, while asleep? Also fine.
   In your car by the police? Fine.
   In a movie theatre? Fine.
   In a place of worship? Fine.
   In a gay club? Fine.
   In a mall parking lot? Fine.
   At a concert? Fine.
   When you're already in the building at work? Fine.
   But on the street? Yeah that's fine too.
   ...But when you're CEO on the street??

   Pro tip! The United States Post Office will no longer sell you a stamp with a crossdressing furry on it, but you can still get them on eBay and they still work.

   In these intolerant times, the least we can do is to purchase official US Government services using scrip featuring a cartoon that launched a billion sexual awakenings. We can't have the Tubman Twenty, but they can't take this pervert from us.

   @mousey @vrruiz @kims @mekkaokereke @ecosdelfuturo I personally could not care less about the frontend app. I don't really care about the underlying protocol either, except insofar as it is accessible to developers, which uhhhh ActivityPub needs some work.

   In this particular case, the point I was making, albeit cheekily, was about how no matter how beautiful and polychromous your rainbow of apps, if they are all moderated by volunteers, you're not escaping a core problem of the ecosystem. Yes there are some non-profit initiatives to try to address this, but so far very little progress has been made.

   I agree 💯 %.

   "But we need to break these things up and start over from their current forms."

   Short of a revolution, which historic examples can you give for this to work.

   In order for this to work, all old-boy networks would need to be broken up.
   I think even reassigning all police(wo)men in a city to other stations wouldn't break up the networks due to social media. And, usually, the (problematic) teamleaders would need to be...

   Done!

   I have donated to ProPublica over the years (not as much as I should, though!) and I strongly encourage my friends on here to donate now.

   ProPublica is a great pro-democracy, anti-corruption resource here in the US, and it would go a long way for them to know Mastodon is an audience aligned with their work.

   In that vein, I would be super grateful if you guys had a Mastodon share button on your articles instead of, or in addition to, buttons for Twitter & Facebook.

   In a way, the left helped create Elon Musk.

   The right wingers treated him slightly better.

   People want to be liked. Perhaps especially slightly autistic people with marriage problems. The nerd entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley aren't exactly popular. But they probably wish they were.

   So he did more stuff to get liked. You excite a lot more people with antics like his than with something like the Gates foundation, which nobody cares about even though it's doing important work.

   In the process, he got even more negative feedback from the left and even more positive feedback from the right. You can see how this works.
