It's "Democratic" when used as an adjective.

Don't use Rush Limbaugh-speak. (May he rot in hell.)

I'm not sure how states could withhold money from the feds.

And rich people think they are smart, because of money, instead of luck of the draw with parents giving them money.

His acting was superb in Oceans Twelve!

(He played "Bruce Willis as himself".)

I'm afraid I don't follow you. Why would you sand down your dice? Wouldn't that bias them?

issues with the Covid-19 vax

healthy for opposing viewpoints

Vaccine skepticism is not a "healthy viewpoint", but quite the opposite. Vaccines and inoculations are about as much "proven science" as we have, with hundreds of years behind the science. Spreading anti-vaxxer propaganda kills people.

 

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative.

In the announcement, CEO and founder Eugen Rochko had this to say:

Our day to day operations are largely unaffected by this event, since Patreon does not presuppose non-profit status, and Patreon income does not count as donations. We have in fact not had to issue a single donation receipt since 2021.

Mastodon remains one of the only popular social platforms that operates out of the European Union, and Eugen desires to keep things that way. With that being said, this could be an interesting opportunity for the project: a presence in the United States may reduce friction in hiring employees there.
