Musk's attacks on Mastodon went unanswered because Mastodon is decentralized, not monolithic. But Substack is monolithic and this smells like slander to me:

It has been known for 2 decades that Clarence Thomas is thoroughly corrupt. No charge will ever be levied against him for his corruption as long as Republicans hold more than 1/3 of the US Senate.
David G. Savage: Los Angeles Times reported about Justice Thomas’ gifts 20 years ago. After that he stopped disclosing them

I want to see his license to practice medicine.
Well, if you absolutely must categorize people along some dimension, this is much more meaningful and useful than race.

@CatBuddha Wow. Looks like a cicada with a crazy paint job.
@film_girl It's good for the cops because many of those people will turn to street dealers for their meds. This is shockingly common and I never see it mentioned.
@Teri_Kanefield Yes. File it under "Things that Criminals Typically Say".
@realTuckFrumper Yeah, that would clearly be slander if the victim was a private person. But politicians have no protections against that sort of thing.

MAGA: “I’m switching to Coors Light.”
Coors Light: “The fuck you are.”
@TomWellborn And their point is what? To make sure that Trump gets NO slack from the judge?
Smart. These people are real smart.
OTOH, they believe they are fully at war with the U.S. government so they don't care.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. have all posted photos of the judge’s daughter on social media. My God.
@TruthSandwich@toad.social @lauren @karlauerbach Just like dealing with TFG.
@evan @greeneralia I don't think it's a bad term. One could also say "grunt work".
Maintaining, administering, and policing social media systems is exciting / interesting to the people who start it up. But the personnel at a university are constantly in flux. Six months after startup it's viewed as a "legacy system" by newcomers, it's boring, and consequently ignored until something bad happens.
Running a Mastodon instance is a thankless labor of love. I wouldn't expect that from university personnel. That's why I voted "qualified yes".
If one can get the trustees to buy into it, fund it, and make sure someone is responsible / accountable for it, then yeah. But the trustees will have to be convinced that a Mastodon instance is valuable to the university and not just a liability.
