Democracy requires accountability. Loopholes that let elected officials switch parties without standing for re-election undermine trust and representation. Electoral rules should ensure voters choose who represents them, not just party insiders.

In today's episode of "help me find media I forgot about", I remember coming across this website that basically rated Mastodon's reliance on the mastodon.social server, in comparison to other platforms (which are mostly centralized). It used some metric often used in economics but I can't remember a damn thing other than that. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or do I sound crazy?

Fairness requires solidarity, dignity, and justice for all. For people, planet, and future generations. End veto power in the UN Security Council so no country can block collective action. Build a fair world that everyone requires.

Essential services like transport, energy, and health should be run to benefit the public, ensuring accessibility, fairness, and quality. Profit-first models often weaken outcomes. Services must serve people, not shareholder dividends.

Healthcare should never depend on a wallet. Free at the point of use, public, well-funded - a right, not a privilege. Universal care ensures no one is left behind.

No democracy can thrive while the ultra-rich hoard wealth. We need progressive taxation, closing loopholes, and enforcing taxes on assets and income. The wealthy must pay their fair share to support the services everyone requires.

I wonder if anyone will discuss the transnational growth of the far-right movement (1) or Germany's change in vote on the Chat Control proposal at #Fediday today. (2)
The #Fediverse can be an important tool for discussing both topics. While most people still use big tech tools to spread disinformation and undermine democracies, we must continue to engage with those who are not easily swayed by an obsolete model that finances fascism. (3)
If I could be there, that'd be the main topics I would be discussing.
P. S. Yesterday, while I was explaining the concept of federation to some young people, a young Indian woman asked, "So why should I leave Instagram?" To my left was an Egyptian who works at one of the major tech companies, and I said we should be careful of potential spies. I was glad she could connect the dots on the question of who was kissing up an actual powerful dictator wannabe at the US presidential inauguration.

We require a world built on fairness, not fear. A society where healthcare is free, billionaires pay their share, and media is accountable to people - not moguls. This is a manifesto for justice.
