@chris "How can he and I have such different point of view?" Vastly different media consumption habits.
@hansw I'm not a fan of famous people either, they tend to say whatever gets them the most attention and never their honest opinions.. I simply cant respect that.
In the case of my friend, I knew him since such a young age (and he invested in my companies when I was a kid and hired me in all of his startups) that i am stuck with him :)
@hansw haha :)
@hansw Their image is their source of income. It is what it is.
@hansw If it were up to me I'd get him on mastodon.. sadly it isnt up to me, and you know those famous people, they go where they can get the exposure they need.
@hansw I found so little interaction on twitter that it never drew much of my time. Its basically just a place to worship celeberties or famous people. I just have one life-long friend who happens to be famous so its literally the only thing he uses as far as social media and we chat often on twitter but he is really the only reason I use it. He is much harder to reach by phone and we probably wouldnt have stayed in touch as much if i relied just on keeping in touch by phone with him.
@hansw I am technically on twitter, and will very very rarely use it directly. But mostly my posts just get cross posted to twitter. Only time i actively use it is to message a specific friend.
@hansw hahah, just tag him on twitter and... oh wait :)
@hansw <3
@hansw You qualify as STEM, enthusiasts, students and hobbyists count :)
@hansw hahaha, I honestly wouldnt mind him on mastodon in and of itself. But chances are it will lead to another isolate gab like movement, divide the fediverse, etc.
I wouldnt let him on QOTO as he clearly isnt STEM but I also wouldnt defederate from his instance which would likely cause us trouble and I couldnt really see the benefit for QOTO or the fediverse.

@hector yes convientent, but also expected considering the distribution of mail in votes to in person.
Being arrested for calling someone a dick, in my eyes, isnt freedom of speech, nor does it represent upholding that right. The fact that if you are aware of the law you can change your words to find a legal loophole, if true, doesnt change that.
@mur2501 As long as I can do it sitting by the beach, yup :)
@mur2501 I'm just jealous its warm enough for you to have mosquito at all :) I wish i had mosquito bites right now.
