The bottom line is that the elites don’t “hate” their armed enforcers… they hire them as disposable.

Cops think they are heroes for being the armed thugs for the elites.

It’s like asking if a mob boss hates their hitmen or their other goons. No, they don’t, but they know they are disposable and loyal.

The elites don’t hate cops. They are the employers of the cops.

Mastodon has been usable, and simple, as well.

I signed up for my tildeverse account once they spun up an instance, and I followed people I saw posting. And now, I’ve collected a fair number of followers and people I follow to see what they say.

Works quite well.

So, what isn’t usable or simple?

Define “better”, first.

I’ve been using Mastodon for about 5 years now, and what I’ve seen of bsky, is that it’s not better: It’s centralized, owned by cryptobros, and subject to the exact same problems as twitter is for user safety.

I’d cut the booze, but yeah, I toke up. A lot.

Musk literally told everyone he was bringing back all the fash assholes that were banned, and to do everything to amplify their voices.

Did nobody believe him when he literally told everyone it was the plan?

Less so than nostr and twitter, though. I mean, everywhere on the internet is full of pedos… Even the fediverse.

Thats a pretty low bar lol

I do. I get the “but they’re just gonna buy drugs!” thing, let’s be honest: I was gonna spend it on that, anyways.

If a 40 is what they need, right now, to numb the pain of existence, in this moment, why not?
