@hakmem he is building a social network of his own and rumors say they do use some mastodon code: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/trumps-new-social-media-platform-found-using-mastodon-code/

Some other alt-right platforms also use mastodon (eg. gab), although many other instances have blocked federating with them.

@lstamellos @foufoutos εδώ πιο αναλυτικά:

@lstamellos @foufoutos Νομίζω πως ο βασικός λόγος που δεν το θέλουν στο Mastodon είναι γιατί θεωρούν πως προσφέρεται για harassment/toxicity. Με τη λογική πως αντί να απαντάς και να πιάνεις συζήτηση με τον άλλο, απλά σχολιάζεις/χλευάζεις/κλπ.

@hakmem True. But I see people being puzzled by the initial step of having to choose a mastodon instance. I guess it's been a long time for most of them since they had to do the same for their email.

It's amazing to observe people ranting against #Mastodon's federated structure, while at the same time they keep using email.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@n0toose hehe. I didn't think this through 😛

Just in case it comes down to this, here is my Mastodon account 🦣

#Bitcoin is resurrecting fossil fuels: Miners have started buying coal plants. They’re using fracked gas and are striking deals with the oil industry to use flare gas to fuel their operations.

"#Israel launched new air raids on locations in #Syria"

I guess it's just matter of time before sanctions are imposed by West governments against Israel, right?

Feels so good to participate again in an in-person tech conference after so long 🥳

#UkraineRussia war is expected to create a food deficit that would mostly affect the poorest countries.

Yet an 8% reduction in the use of cereals for animal feed just in the #EU would save enough wheat to make up for the expected deficit.

Almost 17M spent already since the start of the #UkraineRussiaWar from #EU states on #Russian Fossil Fuels. Indirectly funding the war.
