   Can you believe this nonsense? Apparently, since it is insanely expensive to actually turn Bluesky into a distributed system, these folks are looking for $30M 👀 to build a second AT Protocol relay so that this VC backed corporate platform can somehow become free from billionaires. 🤦♂️

   So, just send your money to this illuminati of open systems and all your prayers will be answered.

   Or just set up an Activitypub server for a hundred dollars and actually 'free your feed'.

     @mastodonmigration Well, there it is.
     
     You can get a <$100 computer and install Pleroma or GNU Social just fine.

     @mastodonmigration I think the funniest part about this is that two of the custodians of this $30M fund are people from Mozilla. Considering mozilla.social is now shutdown, they already gave up on ActivityPub

     @mastodonmigration Where do you see the $30M goal? I see a gofundme with $4M as a goal, which to be fair is also ridiculous.
