How come you haven't joined @glass yet?
My question was slightly provocative, I admit. I find Glass interesting as an initiative trying to learn from the pitfalls of mainstream social media. They're going step-by-step, and who knows, a future step might, one day, be in the direction of federation (though the choice of opting for a fee-based model might make Glass unreconcilable with a federated approach).

I have seen discussion that he has done the same thing to Judge McConnell's daughter after he ruled that federal grants must be unfrozen. I cannot find a reliable source for this, but he has proven that it's not beyond his playbook.

Australia's internet watchdog says she received "death threats" and that her children were doxxed after she was targeted by Elon Musk for attempting to regulate his social media platform.
