I made a Firefish Userstyle UI Tweaks on Userstyles.world.

It's not dramatically different or anything, but I like the changes. Maybe you will too. 🤘

From 1940s-1980, the wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax rates. Zero of them went broke from taxation. Zero of them left the USA. All remained exceedingly wealthy, manufacturing boomed, AND we had the strongest middle class growth in US History.

Let's do that again. #TaxTheRich

You probably know this, but: a year ago, Mastodon had around 300k daily active users. Now it has over 2.1 million.

@mekkaokereke i might have thought that health problems brought on by climate change (heat-related illness; respiratory/cardio problems from pm2.5 inhalation; malnutrition resulting from the losses of more and more crops; injury from hurricanes...) would force real action on preventing greenhouse gas emissions, because fewer people will be able to work, and that will hurt profits (and reduce the value of everyone's money)...

Good grief! John Burn-Murdoch: “NEW: 85 people in Arizona suffered severe burns from contact with pavements heated up to 180F (82C). 7 of them died. In total, 257 people had underlying cause of death listed as "exposure to excessive natural heat".

This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.”

So - I saw @[email protected] has a

And it got me thinking: It would be cool if you could license your posts out under terms for-profit corporations wouldn't like (IE Viral copyleft licenses), and make them want to block / defederate your account, and not want to use your art or images in an AI model (such as because they would be legally required to publish their software sourcecode to the world under a CC-BY-SA license or AGPL) - and then if they wanted to do so, a class action lawsuit could make them regret it.

I dunno if CC-BY-SA or AGPL would get us there. But it would be cool.

Any Fedi-Copyright Attorneys have any suggestions on getting there?

So, I never got into Reddit, but occasionally end up there while looking something up. I hear it's now a cesspool with stuff like this.

How are the fedi-alternatives? Should I try out kbin or lemmy? I heard people don't like the guy who makes lemmy. Is kbin the way to go?

For the people who use either of them, what do you like about them? What's a good instance?

Thanks. #Reddit #Alternatives #Fedi #Fediverse #Lemmy #Kbin

One of these numbers is VERY wrong. 🤣🤣🤣
