This is fantastic, but I am extremely worried about it being in the control of Elon Musk.

You always have the option of changing instances if you don’t like what the admins are doing, or creating accounts on those defederated instances to see what they’re up to.

How do you mean?

Did someone say it was?

No, can you link if?

I did say “tend to be,” so whether or not a person thinks chairman meow is left or right is irrelevant. No need go full meow now. :p

Because we had a good thing with the internet. It was a free marketplace of ideas where people could discuss things freely and honestly.

However, all the good ideas tend to be left-leaning and now that the internet has been opened up to morons we have professional trolls arguing in bad faith, convincing the morons to work against their best interest. Meanwhile, every good website eventually gets eaten up by corporations motivated solely by profit.

That’s why I think the scales have tipped towards authoritarianism. Now I’ll just sit here and wait for some troll to come call me a commie or something for this comment.

Although, some people seem to be thinking that going full Putin would be a good idea for some reason…

Indeed. I read a little more and it did indeed shoot itself down, so… 🤷‍♂️

The bullets lose momentum once fired, but the jet added momentum after firing, so it’s more like it caught up to the bullets.

That’s a good expansion of what I meant by “who knows…?”

Maybe there needs to be laws in place to prevent devices that don’t need it from having 5G access. 🤷🏻‍♂️
