Hi Joel,
We think this quote by you was most salient, validating suspicions expressed on Fedi almost a year ago that #Mastodon is being coopted to serve the #PopularityModel and #influencers with access to #botFarms:
> the "spirit of mastodon" is also to not show boosts and favorites until a toot is fully opened to discourage mob mentality and such, and yet the official app has those... It looks like a Twitter client
It ought to be fixed, asap.

This #Christmas, give a big thanks to all the people who fought against #Monsanto while being labelled #conspiracyTheorists.
They could be the reason you are not dead.

The reason why a reverseLottery for the #extremelyWealthy is needed, is because it introduces #uncertainty - or "Constructive Ambiguity".
If everything #tax related is 'set in stone' so to speak, the extremely wealthy will hire the best #taxLawyers to go up to the thresholds of what is "#legal".
By introducing a #SlidingScaleOfUncertainty, those #perverseIncentives start to go out the window.
It just won't be worth playing these myopic #taxAvoidance tricks.

Have you seen "Take Back Your Power" (2017). Our civilisation literally doesn't know when to reduce its impact.#takeBackYourPower #investigativeJournalism #electricGrid #documentary #film #filmsForAction #resistance #overconsumption #stimulus #bailout #perverseIncentives
