Billionaire-proof open social media is now mission-critical infrastructure for the future of democracy.
Has Elon been banned from getting a Fediverse account?
@VulcanTourist The point is he can't be
Well that's unfortunate, then, since it's not billionaire-proof. He's free to infect the Fediverse like the unwoke virus that he is. It's the Paradox of Tolerance again.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr he can be here, can talk shit and he can even grow an audience, but he cannot, by definition, take over the network and run the show.
On the contrary, he can be isolated, banned from parts of the network, diminshing any benefit of being here in the first place
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr Trump's Truth Social network runs on a version of Mastodon under the hood. No one federates with it. Something similar will hopefully happen when the rich techbros turn up, but do doubt there will be arguments about it
Fascists and other threats to society need to be exiled - excommunicated - from it, per the Paradox of Tolerance. Break the contract and it no longer binds you nor tolerates you.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr but he is much easier to ingore or block. Your admins can do that, and sMuk will have no influence on your nodes.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr no it isn't the paradox of tolerance, instances and users don't have to tolerate a Musk account.
@LovesTha @VulcanTourist @ntnsndr
We nuke that shit outright. Bye! It was not nice knowing you.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr hey fun fact did you know Trump has a fedicerse account,a whole server even? Bet u didn't. Because your network has protected you from him taking over.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr oh also, tolerance isn't a paradox it's a social contract! Hope this helps.
@VulcanTourist @ntnsndr Well, the infection would be quickly quarantined and walled off. It would be like an old cyst that doesn't go away but cannot infect the rest of the body. More precisely he would be a cyst in the body of only one person out of a community, like when the body walls off tuberculosis and it becomes inactive, causing no symptoms and no longer transmissable.
