On the bright side, none of the instance owners have the kind of monopolistic power Reddit has.

Yup. My first instance was .world because fuck it, good enough, at least it's not Reddit. (Didn't know about all the drama until at least a year later, too. I still probably don't know about a lot of it.) Now I'm two-timing that one and piefed.social until I carve out the time to set up my own instance or few, maybe even one with a deluxe-tier membership with extra features.

Nah. The Artemis Program is one of the few good things remaining about the USA. No need to pit two good things against each other.

Would be better to use the Iran war or something.
