Mastodon lacks a lot of basic features, like full text search.

One Tory MP tweeted today that it was impossible to find a Conservative in the Commons who regarded themselves as further to the right and many were outraged at her hypocrisy.

Succeeding her husband Charlie in the Dover seat after he was convicted of sex offences, she attacked her husband’s victims and was suspended from the Commons because she had “improperly sought to influence judicial proceedings” in relation to the case.

Sounds like a lovely lady.

The state of the so called "labour" party where someone has to apologise for calling a genocide a genocide.

Asked last week if any of Kennedy’s health issues could compromise his fitness for the presidency, Stefanie Spear, a spokesperson for the Kennedy campaign, told the Times, “That is a hilarious suggestion, given the competition.”

That's hard to argue with tbh.

It looks like they do, yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Wing_v._United_States

The fact that they bothered to pass a law at all could be argued to be a tacit admission that tiktok has constitutional rights, if it doesn't then you could just march in and confiscate it's servers, since it wouldn't have the right to due process.

At times the mastodon people sound like Alex Jones, only it's "techbros" instead of "globalists"

In my head this argument is a little shaky, since it seems to be effectively arguing that Americans have the right to access foreign propoganda machines?

I don't see why that's shaky? There a plenty of books written by members of the CPC (Including Xi Jinping himself) on Amazon, in English, should Americans be banned from accessing that foreign propaganda?

Potentially, but any amount of obfuscation opens up the system to abuse.

If you trust the server hosting the community to handle all encryption, it's trivial for the admin to disable.

If you trust the server sending the vote, then it's trivial for a server admin to game the system and send hundreds of votes.
