Oh? Wagner founder Prigozhin fell out of a hospital window mounted to a jet in Russia? #WhereIsMySurprisedFace

Four years ago I decided to run my own single-user Mastodon instance. Because I knew that staying at a Big Instance would make me part of the relevance sword that power-drunk admins would use to pump up their ego and claim relevance. And now I see at least one admin insinuating to be a stakeholder of the fediverse and thus entitled to represent The Fediverse in seemingly secret talks with Meta. #WhereIsMySurprisedFace

#WhereIsMySurprisedFace now that Google and Facebook allow Trump to return, just in time for the next election campaign. Le sigh. It’s all about hate and controversy to make money. Not about being principled in any better way.

Smart UK people ask themselves since at least two years „will this finally force Boris Johnson to resign?“ We continental European folks know it. No. It won’t. You leaving the European Union was the final proof. You’re on your own and it doesn’t work. Le sigh. #WhereIsMySurprisedFace
