@fifilamoura @davetroy Dorsey left because Bluesky wanted to moderate.

@gytisrepecka @thisismissem @Gargron
Well this is how BDFL works. I don't really have a problem with that. Someone has to make the decision. In this case it's Eugen.

If people don't like the decisions they're welcome to complain and ask others to complain as well, but at the end of the day their only recourse is to click the fork button.

@cynblogger @VeroniqueB99 in 1974 Congress made it illegal for banks to refuse to do business with women. They were allowed to take on women customers before then but not required. After the law passed they were required.

@Sempf they have to hope he's good because that contract is fully guaranteed.

@Sempf they will continue to hope.

@evan went with sports because while I'd enjoy my hypothetical child to be a left wing political leader, I would not want them to be a right wing political leader.

@nixCraft CVS server.

@GossiTheDog I'm dubious that Windows powers the critical infrastructure you speak of. Of course the vast majority of desktops are Windows but my understanding is that there are more Linux-based servers that Windows ones in production.

@evan amazing that people have to be told this.

@evan @potus this is a good pun and you should be proud of it.

@aral I fail to see what any of this has to do with Gargron or Mastodon unless you're just shit-stirring for clicks.

@evan I disagree with your read of the situation.

@evan if you're asking about the first part, I don't think anyone has an obligation to do anything, politically speaking. For the second part, I think he's he least bad candidate that has a chance of winning. The answer does change depending on what state the person lives in. If it's Michigan, it's a much bigger deal than California or Texas or Florida.

@evan no one has an obligation to support anyone, but I think is a good idea if they do.

@beecycling @Cassandra @cat @_L1vY_ I keep thinking that somehow this isn't real, but I can't find any evidence of that.

@evan lol you know the answer to this one.

@mike it wasn't a fully serious question, but then I forget that this is a place where the CEO of the company will helpfully reply.

Ok I'll bite. What's #Flipboard?

@boris @evan i think it comes from the days when email was not something you could just get from anyone. It was a value-add like USENET access and so forth.

Personally, I don't think ISPs should give you anything except a pipe and possibly DNS. Everything else should be up to the user.

@evan @tchambers @fediversenews I know that some of the folks at Mastodon are working with Meta devs on getting it to work, so stay tuned. You could reach out to @renchap if you want to assist.
