I think its ashame they felt they had to shut down due to anti-black sentiment

Nah it was due to black fragility

@Are0h repeatedly insinuated that I’m an Oreo because I have followers (the #Fediverse is so racist, no one black could POSSIBLY succeed here! Right?)

There are certain people who think that racism is perpetual, read racism into literally everything, and decide to be racist against all non blacks. @Are0h is one of the people. What he says isn’t based off of reality, but off an ideology that is black supremacist-adjacent

Goooooddddd schmorning!!!! What’s up fednet

when you block an instance simply for federating with another

Glow proof drip for the day

Since we already covered that even simply keeping your money in a bank and not investing at all still causes your money to grow faster than the inflation rate... how exactly is it theft again? Literally there is no scenario where inflation has caused anyone to lose even a penny unless they keep their investments as physical cash in a sock... so everything you said aside, where is the theft, no one is literally losing a penny from inflation.

> Let’s hope it stays that way…

It has been that way for the entire US history for every living person today... so not much hope is needed.

Now if your saying that **hyper**-inflation is bad, or that there is a point where inflation is high enough its harmful, a point we have never crossed in living history, then sure. This is why I made sure to state many times that inflation is expected and good in a **healthy** economy. All the markers of US inflation being of the healthy and beneficial kind are there. But yes there is a point where inflation represents something bad, but that isnt the case now or in living history, it is **good** in its current state.

> People with lower incomes rarely get a chance to save much for retirement. They’re often living on credit, and stuck with high rate interest loans to make payments on time.

Yes those statements are correct, but they are also why inflation **helps** the people you describe, it doesnt hurt them. If you have no investments and no savings then inflation is not devaluing anything you have, so you are not hurt by it. In fact while inflation slowly devalues equity (money), it **improves the value proposition** for people in debt. In much the same way a positive amount of money has less value over time due to inflation a **negative** quantity of money also has less value over time due to inflation. Therefore if you are in debt with 100K of debt, and dont pay it off over 20 years and let it sit there, but inflation occured at 100% (unrealistic numbers but to prove a point), then you effectively owe **half** the debt you owed before (it takes half the value to pay off your debt it did before).

So you're actually arguing in the wrong direction, the poor who tend to have no savings and live in debt are **directly benefiting** from inflation.

Again literally the only people who are harmed by inflation in a healthy economy, and at nominal rates, are people who 1) DO have a decent sized life savings and 2) keep all or most of that savings as physical cash, in a sock, under their bed for a long period of time.

> I agree that less inflation hurts people less. But that doesn’t make it healthy. Just…

So no, inflation doesn't just hurt people less, it actually **helps** people, when at healthy levels. It increases the value proposition for those in debt, and **discourages** rich people from hoarding money without putting it to use, which stimulates the economy and helps increase the wealth of others.

It doesnt hurt people less, it **helps** people **more**.

It is really frustrating how ignorant everyone is about economics and how much people assert a strong opinion on it anyway. Nothing against you personally, you should feel welcome to an opinion and engage in discourse. But it does show you are not educated on the basics of this topic, and that is frustrating as it is so common.

@zleap

Indeed. In reality I have no objection to naming someone an admin just in case. But it would require more than just mastodon admin access, which in and of itself cant really do or effect much. In fact a mastodon admin couldnt even backup and migrate the site to another server, they can just pretty much upload emojis and change a few settings.

What we would need is someone who would have access to our server infrastructure. Right now I do have some people who i pay who have that access in case of emergencies but they arent really part of the community here.

That said if we picked a member of the community to have server access in case something happens to me they would have to know how to administer linux, docker, docker-swarm, and a few other techs we use. They would also need to be trust worthy of course.

I believe @arteteco offered to fill that role once, and he has been around since the inception of the server, so I would trust him in that capacity. I guess it depends on if he would want that responsibility and if he feels he has the technical knowledge to carry it out.
