Thank you Mastodon for implementing a direct message system so confusing that Donald Trump embarrassed himself by leaking his own terrible messages
EDIT: Mastodon cannot be blamed, but for an equally absurd reason, which is that Truth Social seemingly now has better DM UX than Mastodon upstream
It's really fucking insulting that Musk wore that "What Would Orwell Think?" shirt, itself Orwellian. Especially because we actually *know* what Orwell would think.
I've been reading a lot of Orwell's articles and letters from around 1939-1943 and it's really eerie just how much aligns. Orwell was writing for left-leaning newsletters that literally called themselves "anti-fascist" and was more afraid than anything about the world domination of fascism and nazi'ism.
I think it's pretty well acknowledged that the work Rudy and the Blacksky team generally are doing is the best hope the ATmosphere has. This thread more than any before is probably the best read you'll get.
