Canada wasn't such a bad place for a long time. It only needed to be steered slightly. It's only the past 7 years that now we need to do a serious handbrake turn.
I honestly think that these people think mastodon is just a website like twitter or facebook.
Imagine.... This is CNN after they've dedicated themselves to not being so partisan!
Seeing people say "maybe mastodon can sell the platform to a bigger company" to me shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what exists here. It's like saying "maybe email can sell the platform to a bigger company"
It's like... You can't sell email as a platform, it doesn't belong to anyone to sell. Same with the fediverse.

The number of times I talk about the ideas in the chapter of the Graysonian Ethic called "build something", specifically where I talk about having kids and a family that will care about you as you get older, just to have someone say "just because you have a kid doesn't mean they owe you their attention" is astounding.
In a chapter where I'm talking about building something over the decades of a lifetime, why would anyone assume I think just popping out a baby immediately means I'm owed lifetime fealty? (Especially when the last chapter of the same book is called "nobody owes you anything"?)

I don't believe 60% of people experienced no side effects. Almost everyone I know had side effects, and in some cases they were so strong people missed work over it. I ended up almost as sick from the vaccine for a day as I got from actually getting covid (then I got covid anyway)
Having had some legal discussions with chatgpt, it's wrong often enough that I'd be concerned about using ai for this purpose. Law is really squishy.
Something I didn't realize I was doing because everyone does it is letting history start in 1900. Stuff happened before then, but it wasnt really treated as stuff that happened or at least stuff that mattered. It's an ideological quirk we inherited from the boomers.
The one thing I don't like is starting history in 1900. There's a lot of important lessons before that, including that yes, the federal government can and has paid off it's debts in full in the past!
Owned an $8000 f250, 98% of it's life was the girlfriend and kids.
I recovered and now drive a Corolla.

Been bringing the server up and down a lot lately to do various things to improve performance, but man has it ever been paying off. I know it's monday night so there isn't a lot going on with federation, but still... That's an absurd load number!
One thing I noticed with friendica is that it takes forever to do federation since it's doing it all with php on a cron job (as I recall, I could be wrong since it's been a couple years), whereas other platforms use native code to handle federation.
Not a problem if you're not federating much or you have plenty of hardware, but at the time I was using not nearly enough hardware for the job and I love federating with new instances.

Hire an exorcist after you've burned it to make sure the spirit of the thing doesn't inhabit your other clothes
