We need to make #Mastodon a #sanctuary
Mastodon has delivered excellence with no #algorithms and good #moderation (I've met a few bad mods- it's #decentralized, to be expected. Also some of the best mods I've ever met are here)
But, it has to get a grip on the #replyguy problem
Everyone knows this, #BlackMastodon and #QueerMastodon have been vocal on the issue for a long time
Welcome to Idiocracy 1.0. It has begun.
Creepy how the world is becoming increasingly idiotic to the point of not knowing what to say about it anymore.
Pretty much all political options people are "offered" are fucked up. A choice between fast and steady decline or faster and more abrupt decline. Now the second is happening.
This world is a joke.
I will continue to do my work for TROM and try to keep myself saner. What else can I do...

This article is headshakingly wrong. As a 30yr sales pro, please take a lesson from the 2024 election:
"Listen to the motivations of others & talk to that, instead of shaming people based on your own motivations."

"Jonathan Swift's dark satirical novel, A Modest American Apocalypse (1724), follows the exploits of serial criminal John Droompf, who, despite having the intellect of a simpleton, escapes from prison abetted by corrupt magnate & slaver Elbore Mucks, and becomes president. In this highly unlikely tale..." [...]
"Vol 2 :
In which criminal John Droompf pollutes the nation's drinking water with laudanum, causing widespread manias and lunacy, enabling his malignant rise to presidency."

Democrats got a little bit of good news today when media outlets projected two women will win U.S. Senate seats in Michigan and Wisconsin. Interestingly, both states went for Donald Trump, so a significant portion of voters cast split tickets.

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

The reps of #ElonMusk's #AmericaPAC were trying to persuade Angelo Foglietta, a #Pennsylvania state judge, that the giveaway was not an "illegal lottery" as Philadelphia DA Lawrence Krasner alleged in a lawsuit seeking to block the contest ahead of Tue's #election.
At the end of the hearing, Foglietta said he would issue a ruling shortly. The decision will not impact the future of the contest…. The PAC says its 2 remaining winners will be from Arizona & Michigan….

p.s. There are lots of resources for voting in US elections here:
➡️ vote.org
Vote.org is a non-partisan site which includes advice on how to vote, local voting info for each state, and a national phone hotline to contact if someone tries to stop you voting.
If you want official government info on voting, that's a different site at:
➡️ vote.gov
If you have a vote, please use it. Most of the vulnerable people depending on you to stop Trump have no vote in this election (see the post above).
Good luck everyone ❤️

Working with individuals who tried to overturn the 2020 election, Leo’s $B dark💰NET (has more cash on hand than all the top pol parties combined) is amplifying #election theories promulgated by #TFG/]Musk/allies.
