@carlbeijer @JefferyBezos One final note, please see my pinned post below.
You're making arguments to an attorney who is well versed in rooting out sophistry in all its forms -- and your response is specious.
It attempts to deflect attention from what you fully understand the problem is. In a word: #Solidarity.
So, please don't get your back up just because someone is making arguments that cast you in a less than appealing light.
I'm on your side -- not your enemy. But I'm also most definitely on the side of those who choose the #fediverse in protest of #capitalism in all its forms. And I #FightBack
WE, on #Mastodon, are #collectively #FightingBack.

@SusanHR I know my vacation $ alone won’t make a difference to #DeSantis or #Disney but, it’s money someplace else WILL get.
As #consumers we wield considerable power if we do it #collectively. DeSantis’ followers will jump ship in a heartbeat if his bullsh*t policies start hurting their pocketbook. Getting people to act together, however - that’s a tough one.

This is an experiment. I used a random toot readed round here as a single #prompt :
"" There is a #conversation about a proposed #gathering of #collectively #cooperative #democratically run #mastodon #instances ...""

In the #2022 #midterms, the 100 #largest #donors #collectively #spent #60percent more than every #smalldonor in the United States combined, according to a #BrennanCenter analysis of #publicly #available #data. (Small donors are those who give $200 or less.) The #wealthy have always #wielded #disproportionate #power over #American #government. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/4-takeaways-about-money-midterms

@eleventyone salut! Thanks for the follow, and to all my new #followers and #boosters.
We can only be the change we want to see by active #collectively and #organizing #politically. I'm particularly thinking of #CanadianPolitics and #OnPoli, but the message is the same across the world.

Continuous #traditions: this low-roofed, thatched, stone-built hut was built for the guard who watched against theft of the esparto grasses #collectively grown & harvested by local #communities - mostly for basketry - on hill slopes north of Nerja in southern Spain. It’s a material expression of rights of #common that can persist for centuries, even millennia.
