People are so weird and yet so weirdly similar.

Know the struggle, just keep trying local stores or other sites first, maybe we can be a small part of change for the better ;)

Honestly, this may be my favourite explanation of the fediverse yet.

This however he definitely said, can confirm (I was the balls)

Grrrrr, he very likely didn't say that.

The closest to it I could find is “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws” by Tacitus (The Annals of Imperial Rome).

Cicero lived at the end of the republic, his problem wasn't too many laws...

Good project/idea, promises of blockchain and free speech attracts may of the wrong people, so I stopped actively using it at some point cause there were only three channels I actually watched (and a lot of alt right/neo nazi/conspiracy shit)

Irgendwo dumm, AKWs als eigentlich stabile Energiequelle nicht für Hochsommertemperaturen auszulegen...

I couldn't find that quote anywhere, and it's very unlikely that Cicero said it, or something like that.

Iirc Tacitus said something similar, roughly: "the higher the number of laws the more corrupt an empire is".

The statement wouldn't have made sense from Cicero as that wasn't really a position he would have held, or even a position he found himself in at all in his defence of the republic (because this wasn't really a problem at the time, or at least not the biggest one)
