We tried this in California back in 2019 and every "progressive" in the state sided with the Rich People Backyards because the nonprofits who employ them raise money from the rich people who own those backyards.

I dont know why the antitrust people just attack yimbys or "abundance" out of nowhere. Unless their goal is publicity they're not going to win, its just pointless.

Republican president appoints a Republican congressman to be AG, Republican senators balk at confirming him, he's replaced by another Republican and somehow it's still the dastardly libs who are the real villains.

Incredible commitment to the bit, I have to applaud it.

We’re headed towards a set of Trump speech regulations where big centralized platforms only get to exist if they tweak their algos to favor those in power - which makes the overall success of federated networks like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon very important. Don’t miss the forest for the trees!
