I need to start keeping track of the tail numbers of the planes I've flown in because I'm really curious how many times I've flown in the same plane.

"Yesterday, hundreds of employees of the Carnegie Library system in Pittsburgh voted to unionize with the United Steelworkers. HOW YOU LIKE THAT, ANDREW CARNEGIE, YOU OLD DEAD GHOST?
Andrew Carnegie, fabulously wealthy steel magnate of the 19th century and living symbol of the grotesque inequalities of the Gilded Age, hated unions."

The problem is that, in the eyes of the far #left (which mastodon.social is ran by) disagreeing that #Gab in its entirety is the devil means I'm supporting the far #right and puts me on par with #Nazis through some stretch of the imagination. I explicitly clarified that I disagree with #hatespeech despite believing that #censorship isn't the way to solve it, but to no avail: I'm a #Nazi because I refuse to hate a #socialmedia node and a #Mastodon fork sitting somewhere on Github.

He blocked me, of course he doesn't have an account on #Gab. But he likes to spread fake news. People like him don't know what #factchecking is.
Also, even if Gab was full of "extreme right" people not blocking it doesn't imply "embrancing the extreme right". This is what ideologies do, they make people crazy, paranoid and irrational.
So if I don't block for example YouTube links on my instance I embranced surveillance capitalism?

Woo-hoo again!!
Apparently my letter to Donald Trump about my WWII veteran relative and his VA benefits is still working - I just got a voicemail from the local VA facility saying they were called by the WHITE HOUSE to do something! Incredible.
