“All Speech Is Not Equal”: Biden Taps Anti-Free Speech Figure For Transition Lead On Media Agency https://jonathanturley.org/2020/11/17/all-speech-is-not-equal-biden-taps-anti-free-speech-figure-for-transition-lead-on-media-agency/
Biden's goal is to curb free speech not just on the large social media platforms, but on smaller sites like SQV
@myfishleg For $100 flat fee I’ll set up anyone with their own Mastodon server. Prob. around $25/mo hosting fees (DigitalOcean).
Let’s see how well Pedo Joe would be able to censor that potential wave
@arzachel @myfishleg lol very generous
@fluffy @myfishleg Does that seem high? Fuck maybe I’ll make it $75
@arzachel @myfishleg masto.host is 6/mo, free setup…
@fluffy @myfishleg Oh yeah, fuck it then, offer rescinded. I'll be advertising their services far & wide-- can you vouch for them at all?
@fluffy @myfishleg It's way more centralized than I'd like, for one. I'm wondering how portable the backups are. I'm dealing with the nightmare of Webfaction (host Django easily! until our new idiot owners decide to drop postgres support) & their craptacularly unportable custom set-up
They wouldn't go after the individual instances, but would go after DigitalOcean or whatever infrastructure provider is used.
@myfishleg mine is on my desk, an old Mac I’ve converted to Ubuntu. I can help with that too but obv. entails higher fee.
@myfishleg @fluffy Ltd. time offer!
