This reminds me of a scene in the book Shogun where Blackthorne is asked something like “how could you possibly be excused for rebellion?”

“If you win”

I don’t want Trump to win! But he could probably weasel out of this mess by becoming president

Y’all are welcome over at thegarden.land we have a “growing” community

Totally. YouTube is barely scraping by these days. Them and all of Google. They’re riding the bus to work. They had to stop eating out. Poor almost richest company in the world. They NEED us to turn off as lockers or else they’ll have to shut the whole thing down

Well shucks! Y’all city slickers can come n join us at theGarden.land we just put the kettle on for ya

Thanks for the tip- I’m having the same issue. How do I ban those accounts? I can’t even tell who my users are

Upvoted even though I hate this comment

Federate me, daddy! 👄

I sure hope not. It does seem to be leaning that way, but it would sort of defeat the purpose of decentralization right? I guess you can’t change the course of the river. I started a small instance with a focus on gardening, and it’s growing slowly. I wonder if smaller instances would grow more evenly if they were focused on regions/ countries/ cities or with a focus on topics? Either way it’s interesting! We’re just getting started here. Things are going to change. I wonder what we’ll say a year from now.

Kind of like hashtag groups on Instagram or mastodon I think does that?
