Seriously, ActivityPub delivers what BlueSky promised but their monetization strategy won't allow them to deliver. And I think folks are realizing that BlueSky exists so a corporation could have an ActivityPub-like ecosystem where they get centralized control and corporate-style (read: nazi-friendly) moderation while the users get the hosting costs. Nobody wants what BlueSky's offering when the fediverse is right there.

Who honestly wants to spend 4-8 years in some town filled with anti-intellectual propaganda sponges who vote Republican and blame their poverty on the one thing left holding the town down from blowing away in the economic wind, while going into debt for the experience? Even if we had France's system where students can go to college tuition free for as long as you take, if everything else about it was the same, it'd still be a hard sell.

Nixon put it in the CCP leadership's head that it's good to run a corporatocracy for their own benefit. The CCP taught Republicans to be authoritarian. They're the chocolate and peanut butter of political ideologies that belong only as a cautionary footnote in history.

except for the equivalence with the republican party i would agree.

You realize the CCP went off the far-right deep end after Nixon, right? The CCP is today what the Republicans wished they were. What China is now is what the Republican Party wants for America. The Republican Party directly influenced the CCP.

then again their regulations usually don't have serving corporate greed as a primary goal.

That and oppressing anybody who isn't down with authoritarian corporatism are basically the only goals of any Chinese regulation. It's honestly shocking that the CCP and the Republican Party are at odds, they're both far-right authoritarian parties post-Nixon.
