Another design consideration re: Mastodon is that it works well for ephemeral asynchronous communications, but for many reasons should not be counted on as an archival resource. Media attachments are periodically purged and may not be available after a week, or a month, etc. While some servers may try to preserve content forever, this may be costly and unsustainable. Creators, researchers should treat this as an ephemeral resource and make provisions for self-archiving anything important.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

Guys, let me make it very clear

The average adult gets flu once every 5 years

Before Omicron, covid was estimated to infect every 16 months

Covid dysregulates far more than flu, it infects T cells and depletes dendritic cells

What do you think the cumulative effect will be?

Indoor air quality is vital to our wellbeing, and proper ventilation is vital to indoor air quality. For ventilating homes, we need to better inform occupants on how to use their ventilation systems
