I guess a guy who would block a POTUS’s constitutional task to appoint a SCOTUS justice would not be above doing the same thing to a dem Kentucky governor over a senate seat.

They’ve been planning for this eventuality. The state legislature passed a law requiring the governor to appoint someone of the same party.

Zuckerberg owns %14 percent of the 2.5 billion shares of the trillion dollar company.

Yes, he could retire and live off a slice of the profit for the rest of his life. But that’s nothing. Anyone with a few tens of thousands of shares of a healthy company can do that. That massively understates the scope of his holdings.

Facebook could never turn a profit again. Revenue could fall off a cliff. And Zuck could borrow against the value of his assets to get paid handsomely for the rest of his life.

Heck he could shut down Meta and liquidate the company for pennies on the dollar and still have more money than most people see in 100 lifetimes.

Of course in going that route you’ve demonstrated an aspect of lemmy that may be an answer to your question.

I would like to invite you to increase your mastery of the English language by learning about all the tenses. With a judicious choice, (I would recommend a pluperfect progressive), you can avoid writing confusing and self-contradictory things like:

Lemmy’s number of active users has been decreasing for the last month. […] the number has been on an upward trend for the last 6 months

I think those two phrases mean the same thing

Probably all mammals have a concept of “mother” even if it’s just a nonverbal instinct

I want a lemmy that serves html documents containing content, instead of a javascript application that then (fails to) load content. i guess old.lemmy is that

Yes they have the right and ability to seize any account on their service for any reason. But if they want to be a stable platform where people build their brands and their businesses, there should be an expectation that this would not happen. Due process for when there is a dispute.

Clearly musk wants people to view the platform as such a place so this is a dumb move. In addition to being asshole
