  • 5 years ago the courts ruled that Trump could not block Twitter users on first amendment grounds. This same ruling could be used as a foundation to force a future government Fediverse server to federate with any other server and host all their unmoderated comments.

    With Twitter, a user could still break the TOS and get banned. With a Fediverse server… Not so much. It’s as free as sending an email to the US government filled with nothing but 2mb of racial profanities.

    Hmmm just out of curiosity I looked up weight to power ratios

    A 2016 Smart Fortwo Proxy has 22.29 lb/HP

    A 2016 Chevy Spark LS 23.25 has lb/HP

    A 2016 Audi A3 2.0TDI Prestige Sedan has 21.16 lb/HP

    Completely reasonable to take through the rockies. Most sedans of that year are sitting between 10-17 lb/HP which makes the smartcar a bit underpowered (gasp!) but not unreasonable.
