A quotation from Baltasar Gracian
The way to quiet the turbulence of a mob is to withdraw your hand, and let it quiet itself; to concede today, may be the best way to succeed tomorrow.

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
The advice of a father to his son “Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee,” is good, and yet not the best. Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

CW: re: SOME OF THE good and the poor of TruthSocial so far…
@manarock
Yes, and its #yielding to bigData. We all suffer when they collect shiploads of data in these ways (#SanFran AI company and CloudFlare).Mastodon works on a browser so even if it were banned, ppl could arguably send their usage data to cloudFlare still.
Could make for a great #doubleBluff, to have an app banned from the appStore but still available from a browser.
