@stux@mstdn.socialBillionaires are buying and creating standalone social media platforms to fight each other each on their own platform
FOSS people build connected social media platforms with almost no budget to escape those fighting billionaires
Billionaires, don't follow me here. I don't want youuuu
The only good billionaire is not being one 
@puppygirlhornypost2 Digitalisering Notariële Informatie? 
(to the mooon! or sun)
@stux@mstdn.social to the moon of course, that’s where we sent wheatley
@stux The only good billionaire is one in BBQ sauce.
@vruz One giving away it's money
but than it's not a billionaire anymore 
@stux MacKenzie Scott has given back an awful lot of money, but she's still a billionaire. I encourage her not to stop until her bank says she is $999,999,999 poor.
@stux *And* keeping those existing the fck out of government. Space Karen has a Tesla-factory in my residence, there's hardly any local politics left except for the bootlicking kind.
How did 'we' get so conned?

"It's possible to become a millionaire through honesty and hard work. But not a billionaire."
When that was first said, a millionaire was worth the equivalent of 19 million dollars today. Today, someone working a fairly normal job and saving consistently will become a millionaire in their lifetimes.
@sj_zero A millionaire would be in the realms and that's good
Even a few hundred mill /should/ be okay if someone really earned it more honestly but also bares the responsibility not to hoard
there must be some incentive to keep people motivated but the current system is sooo broken
1 billion aka 1000 million is not okay
@stux Could a fediverse server even handle the traffic generated if Elon joined?
@j_s_j Elon's account alone, sure!
But it depends on the server, thats why the fedi consists of thens of thousands of servers to spread the load and costs
No need for data centers like Twitter does
@stux Good luck, Stux!
@stux As far as I'm concerned… if I… making <AU$75000/year (after tax), can afford to run a Mastodon instance for myself…
So can a billionaire. They can easily afford to hire a sysadmin to spin up a VPS somewhere, load Mastodon on it, get it federated, and maintain it.
The "good" billionaires that behave decently and actually give back to the community will probably be fine.
The badly behaved ones, will find themselves de-federated rather quickly. This doesn't strike me as a community that suffers fools lightly.
@stux unfortunately you can’t buy empathy
@stux The beauty is if they try to follow they can be defederated or blocked.
@stux it would be pretty funny if "ban Elon Musk on sight" was added to some fediverse moderation standards
@stux you better not talk about the fediverse.. the most silly place there is when it comes to fighting and blocking each other's instances
