The biggest problem to me, seems to be the lack of ability to block people, communities, and instances. It’s built into some apps, but really needs to be part of the platform.

I block all porn instances, for example.

It already is everywhere except yeehawistan.

This would actually kill a significant number of people, especially if they didn’t know it was about to happen.

I think the biggest outcome of that would be phone batteries getting much bigger.

That’s why we have a “fractional reserve” system in place pretty much everywhere.

And besides, they haven’t created that money, as the first person has a balance of -80.

What the fuck have you been smoking?

The hell are you on about, reserve banks can create money, but a retail bank borrows it from someone else and loans it to you.

And if that “somewhere else” can get a better deal elsewhere, they won’t loan it to the bank in the first place.

Why would any institution give you a mortgage on those terms?

Who are Hexbear? And why are people defederating from them?

People with itchy balls, who do you think?

That doesn’t help, but there’s genuinely a huge amount of money being siphoned off in the form of profits along the way.

Americans aren’t that much worse than other countries.

American pays mores per capita for healthcare than most countries with a single payer system.

You’d actually save money if you changed.

Uhh, wat? Ukraine is currently regaining territory from Russia, how are they losing?

Fucking tankies.

This has a very “still obsessed with my ex” vibe, just saying.
