Well I can tell you the counterstory about the massive storm that didn't ruin BRC. Firstly, there's a ton (TONs) of water left at the end of the burn, unless things have changed a lot in the past 20 years, nobody is running out of

To be fair, Mastodon is actually surviving. Comparing open source social to algorithmically based social is never going to work, that's like saying the Light Phone isn't as popular as the iPhone, so its a failure. The question is,

There's a reason we don't have markets to bet on whether someone will be killed, or to create a profit motive for people close to the White House to spill the beans. There's plenty of legal avenues for the next administration
