@georgetakei The Boys depiction of fascism, Evangelical Christians, social media, politics & a powerful person getting revenge against people just doing their job, is brilliant.

is graphically violent & filled with blood & gore. It is NOT for the squimish. But I found it bone-chillingly accurate in its depiction of fascism. I credit writers Geoff Aull & Eric Kripke for their insight on current .

I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

Great post!
But Luke Skywalker needs to shun the Dark Side and leave Twitter/X which is now run by a real life Palpatine.

If you had the time/skills, what feature would you like to work on that's missing or could be improved on the fediverse platform(s) you're using?

It’s funny to me that some people on Threads are saying Mastodon (mistakenly thinking it’s a one service) will always be ”small” and ”closed”. Well, soon we’ll be in the same crowd with the Threads people, perhaps with others like Tumblr too.

The Fediverse can expand unlike the other truly closed social networks. This is exactly like talking about the Internet in the 80s, ”it will be a small thing for the nerds, and always will be so”.
