  • Ya know? Most of the time I don’t get to say this, but I think if the fediverse had a MySpace type service, I think the fediverse version might actually out-perform the official real version of MySpace. Which would probably be the thing that makes some corporate entity try to sue the fediverse.

    Now in theory, MySpace can’t sue this Fediverse version of MySpace. For clarity sake, let’s call this fictional version of MySpace “FediSpace”.

    So if MySpace tried to sue FediSpace, we all know that the decentralized nature of the fediverse should make that more or less impossible. But how would it hold up in real life? You can make all the laws you want. You can plan your government to run however you want. If the last few years have taught me anything it’s that none of that matters. If the people with money want to win, the courts are not an obstacle. They will make shit up, ignore shit, do whatever they can so the company with the money wins in court.

    I just have no idea what that would look like. I don’t rule out the possibility, but I think it would require thousands of lawsuits. And I don’t see MySpace footing the bill for that. So I have no idea how to imagine it.















  • When I was a kid, I didn’t understand a lot. Everytime I asked a question, the adults in the room would say “you’ll understand when you’re older”.

    Ok. It’s been like 38 years…I still don’t understand.

    What exactly is Dee Snyder supposed to be with this look??? If this look were invented today, I would think he’s mocking trans people. But this was the mid 80s. I never in my life heard the term “trans” until maybe 2010. So in 1985, they weren’t a focal point of society. If they existed at all they were very rare. Not well known enough for an anti trans image to make sense in 1985.

    So, what is he supposed to be with this look? A caveman??? A manniquinn??? I have no idea what I’m he’s going for here.
