Harris demonstrated in her debate performance how Trump can be defeated by imagining him as an opponent in Mike Tyson’s Punch Out on Nintendo. Hear me out. You observe his obvious fight pattern: he only has 1 move: Roy Cohn’s “hit-back-harder” but that’s it. There’s variation in whataboutism and/or projection but it’s simplistic to beat once Harris used it to bait and trigger him while dressing him down for her turn to punch, and he was too busy pulling his pants back up to fight back. #debate
As a stuttering person I’m so proud of Joe Biden but I’m also sad that most folks attributed his dysfluency only to aging. Nevertheless , it’s time for a woman to lead the United States and Madame Harris is the One. #uspol
Even though I know that Zuck knowingly lied to the whole world about when he knew about Cambridge Analytica, https://federate.social will not be preemptively blocking #threads, instead letting members continue to control their own instance blocks. #mastoadmin
@tchambers When they say you “can’t post to Threads” do you think they really mean that a Threads user would have to boost a Mastodon post into the Threads instance? So more just a misunderstanding of how federation works?
A: All donations on my ko-fi go straight to paying our masto.host subscription which will cross the threshold of $99/mo next year after originally launching with only $9/mo of capacity just over a year ago. #GivingTuesday
Q: How much does it cost per user per month to run your mastodon instance on masto.host?
A: We have a small group of around 100 consistently active members who generate significant interactions, a few with high follower counts. Next year, the budget is $1 per active user per month to run https://federate.social so presently a subset of generous members are supporting our local community and the #fediverse more broadly. #GivingTuesday
I think the idea of millions of servers with 100 members who pay $1 a month is a highly sustainable model of decentralized social media. It’s been really easy to manage my duties as an admin this past year and anyone who is thinking of running a server next year, I’m happy to chat. I think launching more smaller instances is the way to go and grow because the federation actually works when it works.
