    @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social WRT freedom of expression: Government of the people by the people for the people, not government of the people by oligarchs for oligarchs. Mastodon is only part of the Fediverse in the same way Gmail is part of email, not the totality of it. Alternatives exist: Tusky, Megalodon, Phanphy etc.

    @BrideOfLinux@mastodon.opencloud.lu Trouble is capitalists prefer unfair competition and monopoly if they can get away with it, and regulatory capture if they just want to look as if they&#39;re in favour of free markets. $12.75m is not even a slap on the wrist. 🙄

    @elettrona @Starfia @tchambers I understand your requirement but to my knowledge Ghost was developed by former Wordpress developers who decided to do things differently, specifically making it simpler and easier. I have used both but have no experience doing so without being able to see. Both have had to adjust to federation. I&#39;m sorry I missed your constraint and hope Ghost will resolve at some point.

    @Nicovel0 @JugglingWithEggs On the morning of the Grenfell fire the Conservatives (in govt at the time) had a scheduled meeting to &quot;plan a bonfire of building regulations”. Swiftly cancelled ofc. Directors of Right To Manage Companies responsible for safety of buildings with leasehold flats, especially those above 18m in height, have been heavily burdened with new &amp; necessary work to remediate, to comply with 2022 regulations. And they&#39;re *volunteers*. UK expertise is just &quot;...
