I think it shows some of the strengths of federated networks. If the owners of a small proprietary social network ghosted their project, it would take a huge effort to try to replace it, which would be insurmountable for many communities. But in this case, a community can fork onto a new server pretty quickly and seamlessly.

I could be wrong, but I don’t see a path forward for Biden, and I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big part of it. It’s so polarizing among Democrats/leftists. Biden will either be viewed as a genocide supporter or an anti-semite, and it’s very difficult to find any sort of middle-ground. I don’t think Republicans are as emotionally invested in it - they just don’t want to see too much money sent away.
