Decided to start reading up on "#ProjectLiberty", #billionaire #FrankMcCourt's plan to "save the internet!" or whatever, seeing as he's running ads...

Setting aside the untrustworthiness of lone billionaires, their megalomaniacal goals, and their grandiosely named political initiatives, I don't quite understand these goals, or how #McCourt "plans" to "fix" the supposed "problems" he's pointing to. We know #Twitter and #Facebook are bad, and we know why: this isn't new ground he's treading.

Part of me also thinks if one of these billionaires wants to put their money where their mouth is, they could always put it behind an actual project that might actually improve the way social media is done, like #Fediverse. I feel like even a tiny bit of this money thrown behind some server funds and #Mastodon code bounties could be a game-changer.

Then again, I have my doubts that this is actually about supporting the common good and not some self-righteous political goal...

We have about five months until June's fascist #SCOTUS opinions unleash a new wave of injustice upon us, potentially even upending all of our election laws.

#McCourt

Wel, just like the last Georgia runoff we don't even get to celebrate long. SCOTUS is now hearing Moore vs Harper arguments that could completely destroy court oversight of state election law.
