Well this exploded. Some answers:

"I don't need a car"
I do. My aging parents live 150km from me. We go camping and bring a 1990's era tent trailer with us.

"Elon is a racist"
Yes he is. I wanted to look for general fediverse consensus.

"There's no algorithm on the fediverse; why are you asking people to boost?"
Yes, exactly.

And finally, unlike cars, being kind is free. Abusive language really has no place on the fediverse. Take that back to Xitter.
