The only difference between the poorest parts of the US and "3rd world countries" is that a (domestic) war upending peoples lives is less likely. Otherwise? Poverty in the US gets intense real fast

Yah the thing is weed smokers know a small bit of weed smoke is nearly harmless compared to an equivalent bit of smoke from a tobacco smoker. It is absolutely still inconsiderate but as far as I know there is little evidence that second han

The key here is mastodon isn't a business, so moderation isn't entirely focused on being cheap. Mastodon, correctly in my opinion, identifies social networks as community resources not as entities to extraft profit from.

This is honestly an embarassingly bad argument/response

I love not being able to be self sufficient in my 30s because I get paid shit and then being told by the fed that inflation is being caused by people like me getting paid too much. I almost ended my life 2 years ago because of feeling hopel

"I wonder where all that increased productivity was wasted and by who." By the same people telling us inflation is happening because wages were going up/workers had more leverage, not price gouging by oil companies and such.

Exactly. I use mastodon daily, I follow tons of people that do as well. Mastodon doesnt need to be massive or fulfill whatever growth expectations armchair tech entrepeneurs expect of social media platforms here. It just has to be reasonabl

You also dont have to look very hard for large communities that absolutely will not tolerate racists. The difference between the fediverse and most other online places for manyyyyyy fediverse users who use it day to day is that if a bunch o
