No. Fuck Facebook, and fuck Zuck. There isn't a world in which they would federate and respect our privacy.

See how they build internal user profiles for users not on Facebook through tags and other metadata scraping techniques. If people you know talk about you on Facebook, there's a shadow profile about you out there, waiting to connect with you in real time. I have no reason to think they wouldn't do the same kind of shit here.

Technically, SCOTUS didn't do anything. They refused to take up the case, which means the 5th Circuit's ruling, that superseded both lower courts that affirmed it was illegal by saying "we'll address it next year after the primaries," was the final say.

The thing that needs to be made sense of is why the 5th Circuit is allowed to operate in bad-faith as a rubber stamp for everything Conservative.

There's a reason Trump is getting RICO charges in Georgia, and it might be because he's the boss of a mob of violent idiots.

This. All of this. It's fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn't mean much if people can't easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

It's been great, honestly. I had Garuda on a laptop I was using to stream from a local Desktop, and it worked better for Remote Play than Windows 10.

You gotta be on the nightly-builds repo to get it.

I smell a biography book deal and a string of news appearances where he talks shit about how the GOP has lost its way.

Wow, a whole list of "things that never happened."

Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you're obviously in.

Yes, but have you considered that if we legalize weed, Satan might get your kids?

They're not guilty for the things their users do. Bad actors are all over Facebook, so revealing a government was using their platform for nefarious purposes is more like, "See? We can be good guys, too!" It's positive PR to be proactive like that.

Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.

I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.
