    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.

  2. 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.
