We all know that something along these lines probably exists in our future. Do your prep now and make sure your rebuttals are swift and concise when/if they are required.
@LadyAnarki With 500 characters Mastodon has almost twice the revolutionary potential.
Character count is actually a per-instance configurable setting.
Should I set mine to unlimited, and try to take over the world?

Thanks to @giacomozucco for forwarding the idea about chronicling 2020. A few interested parties already to co-write/co-create. Would you be interested in contributing? Anon contributions welcome!! This is for knowledge not glory 🖖

In a world where shutdowns are becoming increasingly political, what's needed are open source tools. If you've been shutdown from a payments perspective, I suggest looking into http://BTCPayServer.org

@kimisan @Zachary_BTC @pete @verretor @eatoutfrom5lbs @sebx2a @lukedashjr @alanturing The Twitter blocking of (supposedly) private DMs sharing the Hunter Biden NY Post story was scandalous too. It started well before the election.
@michaelfolkson @verretor @eatoutfrom5lbs @sebx2a @lukedashjr @raucao @alanturing The interesting thing is its at a time when guns in the US simultaneously have the most support in legal terms in quite awhile.
@verretor @eatoutfrom5lbs @michaelfolkson @sebx2a @lukedashjr @raucao @alanturing Actually, the Biden proposals _are_ gun confiscation: they want to tax®ister guns, and thus not paying - or not registering - can result in confiscation. Obvs, the registration will also enable confiscation.
@eatoutfrom5lbs @michaelfolkson @sebx2a @lukedashjr @raucao @alanturing @verretor Realistically? An ineffective attempt at confiscation that gets them re-elected and helps divert a bunch of money to their buddies in the surveillance business.

Is the Mute Button 'Real' on Amazon #Echo Flex?

@jimmysong ...or maybe that mutually assured destruction is more powerful than guns? Bretton-Woods is powerful because of the value of economic ties between nations. Destroy that value, and it's no longer powerful.
@waxwing @kristapsk @mattodell The hardest part about replacing Tor is replacing the fact that Tor has US government support. That's probably more useful than it is harmful.
But that said, it'd be no surprise if the fix wasn't 100%, or it took awhile to apply. So I wouldn't panic yet. Bigger issue IMO is the more prosaic one that a massive DDoS attack can take the consensus servers down right now.
@sebx2a As in, pull-reqs to remove/re-add the term "blacklist" :)
@Seccour ...yeah, my local timeline is full of boring stuff I've seen before. :D
https://thepostmillennial.com/wsj-retracts-claim-that-alex-jones-incited-capitol-riots
"The Wall Street Journal had previously claimed that Alex Jones was encouraging violence prior to the storming of the US Capitol on Jan. 6. They have now rescinded that claim."
"Jones was actually seen on video that day doing the exact opposite, shouting on his megaphone and telling people to move around the Capitol and to leave police alone, warning them not to "make that the story""
Sadly this bullshit won't stop without defamation lawsuits.
@michaelfolkson @sebx2a @lukedashjr @raucao @alanturing @verretor They're so impatient that they're going for this strategy prior to gun confiscation.
@sebx2a ...so I saw the word "owned" and immediately thought "blacklist" 😂
