Why don't we just define the minimum wage in proportion to the cost of living instead of having to go on strikes every few decades to get it moved up a smidgen until it becomes useless again later

I have a hot take: people were dunking on Musk the other day for talking about carbon removal tech and being like "just plant a tree lol" but we literally will not be able to avoid the most drastic effects of climate change without--not only scaling *down* carbon emissions--massively scaling up carbon removal. And on the scale we need to do it, planting tons of forests is seriously not viable. It's easy to go "haha building some machine you tech loser" but that's the fucked up situation literal decades of inaction has put us in.

Some people claim that instance-blocking weakens the fediverse, and undermines the point of federation.

This is the opposite of the truth.

The point of federation is that it limits the accumulation of power: no single instance can control fedi, because users can always switch instances without leaving fedi.

This is why fedi and fascism are fundamentally opposed -- and why the ability to block fascist/abusive instances is the very heart of federation's power to serve its users.
