Billionaires are buying and creating standalone social media platforms to fight each other each on their own platform

FOSS people build connected social media platforms with almost no budget to escape those fighting billionaires

Billionaires, don't follow me here. I don't want youuuu

@puppygirlhornypost2 Digitalisering Notariële Informatie?

The only good billionaire is not being one

@stux The only good billionaire is one in BBQ sauce.

@vruz One giving away it's money

but than it's not a billionaire anymore

@stux MacKenzie Scott has given back an awful lot of money, but she's still a billionaire. I encourage her not to stop until her bank says she is $999,999,999 poor.

There's a saying that has changed a lot over the years due to inflation, but only in becoming more and more true:

"It's possible to become a millionaire through honesty and hard work. But not a billionaire."

When that was first said, a millionaire was worth the equivalent of 19 million dollars today. Today, someone working a fairly normal job and saving consistently will become a millionaire in their lifetimes.

@sj_zero A millionaire would be in the realms and that's good

Even a few hundred mill /should/ be okay if someone really earned it more honestly but also bares the responsibility not to hoard

there must be some incentive to keep people motivated but the current system is sooo broken

1 billion aka 1000 million is not okay

@stux Could a fediverse server even handle the traffic generated if Elon joined?

@j_s_j Elon's account alone, sure!

But it depends on the server, thats why the fedi consists of thens of thousands of servers to spread the load and costs

No need for data centers like Twitter does

@stux unfortunately you can’t buy empathy

@stux you better not talk about the fediverse.. the most silly place there is when it comes to fighting and blocking each other's instances
