@feditips The only thing more ridiculous and a surefire way for me to ignore someone than being fedified is this new habit of putting the "verified" picmoji behind one's name.

The guy who started it has some form of issue that can't just be explained by a need for relevancy and wanting to monetize the fediverse.

He won't read this, he's actively blocking "noob" accounts with less than 10k followers :)

@EU_Commission Solution: compete with Google. Provide their services, including a better Ad solution, on a platform complete and replete with the value add Google provides. Soon you will have the customers and visitors Google commands. Then run your ads on that platform.

The way this reads is anti-Google and, as a dogwhistle, anti-American posturing.

EVERY person on the Internet has a choice to use or not use Google, Facebook, Instagram, their Fediverse instance, and so on. EVERY person on the Internet has a choice to block ads. If I happen to have been the first supermarket in the city, took the beatings, took the L, innovated, watched others grow on my innovations and in my safe wake, and then the neighborhood association over in a different part of town, pissed that I have the first mover advantage, wants me to put advertisements for my competitors in my windows... know what I'd do? I'd stop selling to them.

If Google has a brain, they'll just null-route Europe for a week. They're a business, no one can force them to do business with anyone. No more YouTube, no more Google Search, no more Android, no more Mail... good luck building infrastructures that can replace that.
