A smiling amorphous cartoon blob gleefully riding a bicycle.
It has swept back handlebars and the back tire is kicking up a modest cloud of dust.

new accounts with no posts or few interactions will be blocked
mastodon.social and any .de users are suspect by default
will follow any jortser almost uncritically

@axios remember when, at the behest of the attorney general, american firearms were trafficked and smuggled over the border? and they were bought by strong-arming licensed dealers to make sales they knew were straw purchases? and then a lot of those guns just disappeared? and the ones that didn't were found at murders on both sides of the border and likely killed thousands?
They even all had CHUD names like:
Operation Wide Receiver
Operation Fast and Furious
Project Gunrunner
Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
