    I can't get Mastodon to work, keep getting errors.

    But I have no problem if the userbase of Twitter migrates over there. Musk going bankrupt would be fucking hilarious.

    I’m not the one who banned Gturner because he hurt your feelings over Hillary Clinton.

    Mastodon's user base has been increasing exponentially since Musk's takeover of Twitter. Given their decentralized model, some of the servers may not be able handle the load. This is one of the downsides of decentralization.

    But, one of the upsides to decentralization is that if a bunch of Nazi wingnuts set up their own server, the rest of the Mastodon community can completely cut that server out.

    That's not why he was banned. And the reason you aren't the one who can ban anyone is you can't be trusted to tie your own fucking shoelaces, let alone administer a website.

    Nope, prove your accusation first. Show us the posts where anyone said he was being banned for hating Hillary, or even establish an evidence chain.

    Oh, good, then we get to dismiss everything you post as horseshit, and you don't get to play the "you can't answer because I'm too smart! :alpha:" card.
    Nice self-own.
    Good job.

    It's not so much a flag as one of those little bits of paper on a cocktail stick you might find in a martini.

    Heard a rumour that Elon is unblocking himself from accounts that blocked him.

    Now we have a "can't put the mods on ignore" policy but Elon isn't a Twitter mod, is he?

    Ever notice how you never criticize anyone on the left and demand that I criticize people on the right?

    You want the story of why Gturner was banned? OK, here it is.

    He was banned because he put lettuce on my sandwich. I said no lettuce. Said it three times. What did i get? Lettuce. Drove back over and told him about it. Showed him the lettuce. Didn't seem to care. He offered to make me a new sandwich. I said no. That's like the fifth time this month that he fucked up my order. This time it was lettuce. Last time he put it on honey wheat. Honey wheat. What a fucking animal. I asked for sourdough crunch roll. But it was honey wheat. This was the end of it. Lettuce. Of all things. On a meatball sub. Lettuce. Fuck that guy. That was the last straw. I asked to speak to his manager. Told him about the lettuce. That I didn't want lettuce. His manager understood, implied that he'd been fucking up a lot lately. That I wasn't the only customer. Manager gave me a card for a free six inch. I left.

    And that's that.

    That's the story of how Federal Farmer lost his job at Subway.

    You bring up all of the time that I never criticize Trump, even though I have several times.

    “All of the time.” :dayton:

    You really do have a persecution complex.
