I'll be honest, man. Watching the doubling down on white supremacy and white grievance and all its offshoots (homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, classism) is really, REALLY depressing some times. This is probably a pale echo of what Black people went through in the Redemption period, when white society rebelled at the tiny modicum of progress Black people made at the end of 1875.

I remember the olden days before social media, when most Internet communities were built around message boards.

Both lightly-moderated and heavily-moderated communities were fun for different reasons, but what I discovered over time was that if moderation falls below a certain point, the result is always pedophiles and Nazis.

Mastodon has such a wide and diverse culture.

I'm routinely in political discussions, humanities topics and various computery things. I am sometimes in photography topics, or maybe philosophy and arts. On occasion I'll see an amazing think piece or a new piece of learning that I can explore and dive into. The ocean of Mastodon is filled with every changing and swirling currents of every topic imaginable.

With a click of a userid you can explore the insights of Data Science, see an article on Global Warming, enjoy a reference to Cocaine Bear, and then find yourself suddenly weighing in on an opinion on a subject, with the literal PhD who wrote the book you're referencing.

Gargron, you founded something truly amazing.

Social Security ought to be better funded, we all agree. That should come from lifting the cap on those who make more, especially those who make millions a year in income.

Don’t raise the age limit. Raise the cap.
