I accept that, this is still unrelated to the article.

Mastodon has enabled an escape from the constant "Everything is political" and "Everything has to be about my cause" that has engulfed our culture. I think that is wonderful.

No one should have an 'app store', the entire concept is user hostile. A general purpose computer should be able to execute what I wish it to execute and it's inexcusable that a company would think they know better.

This feels like the right decision to me. It feels user-hostile to disguise web pages as executables.

My observation is just a single observation, but after all the hubbub I created a Parler account and I saw a more milquetoast Twitter. It honestly reminded me of a country club in that it was mostly an older people version of Twitter.

Maybe they somehow got the message this was all ok after it was literally all ok for eight months. They're despicable, but it is easy to trace exactly how the mainstream rhetoric made this palatable to them.

I don't think any sane person cares about the intent of the person carrying out assault against their person, and it would be unreasonable to ask them to divine intent. Supporting one and condemning the other reeks of special pleading.
