Slate's $24,950 electric truck is on track for release this year — here's how it stacks up against the cheapest EVs I've tested

You might've been misled there: bezos is an early investor in slate, but he doesn't own the company and doesn't even currently have representation on the company's board. Bezos reportedly hasn't been involved in decision-making for the company and doesn't have an ownership stake, so I'm willing to accept that slate simply took his early support without handing him the reins

PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

Don't wanna throw cold water on what should be a celebration, but are these all distinct active users? I have separate accounts on Lemmy, PixelFed, Mastodon, and Loops--do I still count as one active user, or am I four? If the latter, I think it's plenty likely that others like me have simply gotten used to the first fedi platform they chose and are branching out as they learn about more. Maybe doesn't account for all the growth, but would explain away some of the meteoric rise.
