Mango Mussolini's flights are paid for by the tax payers through the USAF and those flights should be tracked.

That's fucking brilliant
Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that's true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?
They can ban that but can't do anything about misinformation, scammers, bots and shit
They don't care to do anything about those
@elonjet@mastodon.social is still functional, for those who want to follow from the Fediverse.
Thank you. I plan to follow all this jet accounts and expect a Barbra streisand effect. Do you know more in the fediverse?
This is why we need to bring back the old internet, not this corposhit.
I remember when you didn’t have to type carefully in the comments.
I had my comments removed over and over again on a video about Kurt Cobain recently. I had to type something like, “When he decided to take a vacation away from the planet earth with a traditional 20th century raygun that fired ammunition meant for birds rather than rays or lasers meant for people and space aliens.”
Meanwhile, “the Jews control all information and have space lasers and and and they put chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay” and the like doesn’t get removed.
What a world.
you know where this wouldn't happen?
Mastodon.
Except it can would and does. Lots of instances with overzealous owners/moderators that defederate or remove anything they don't like
A few are on Mastodon! https://grndcntrl.net/links/#ElonJet
why are you purple?
omg Toad, you can't just ask people why they're purple!
I make ur app
Prolly my new fav dev of all time after this gem Cheers all! I fucking looove Voyager btw
Thanks for making a great app purple man
Thank you for that
As a software dev, you are my hero!
Just curious – which app is that? Seemingly not Eternity, as I'm using that, and you do not appear purple in here, but I'm always interested in exploring alternatives to the apps I'm using.
Voyager!
Nice!
Voyager AKA WefWef AKA The Best™️
Just make a damn website already
Already has one.
It's public information transmitted over airwaves and several sites exist already. Flightradar24 and adsbexchange are the two I use, though Elon and Taylor Swift are far too boring to pay attention to when you can watch refuelers and jets instead.

Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn't something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.
You didn't...?
Why not?
This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.
Some pictures make me want to cheer for erosion.
The irony of Meta/Facebook - infamous for tracking people online - being upset about jet tracking.
It's not even tracking... Tracking is what the FAA does, and makes publicly available. These accounts are just publishing the already-public information.
Fuck every one of these shitty billionaires. Fly commercial if you don't want to be tracked publicly.
Obviously the way around this is to make an account that responds to any message containing a plane ID, and another that retweets it.
Rules and laws are only for the peasantry. Your level of freedom is proportional to your wealth, so Meta has a whole lotta Freedom™️

Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.

But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…
The harm to people flying in private jets is much more important than spam links. According to their own "Oversight Board".
Not sure who needs to hear this but the amount of money spent on private jets by these billionaires in 1 year could replace all our lead pipes in the USA.
It blows my mind that people still use Facebook. What more can Zuckerberg do before people decide to ditch his shit?

Zuckerberg’s $300 million mega yacht may be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9857511
It is currently in San Diego at Broadway Pier. Which was also confirmed by yesterday’s news of a methed up Florida man being arrested at gun point for sneaking aboard and throwing things off into the water LOL https://youtu.be/L7nnKn1W4Mw
I wish he did more damage. Fuck these billionaires and their 300 million dollar yachts. Most Americans are struggling to buy groceries.
