Portuguese by nationality. Genetically I'm aprox 50% Ukrainian, 25% Russian and 25% Greek. Living in Spain (Catalonia).
I don't identify myself with any "-ism", but the closest thing would be libertarianism.
I work in the field of Life Sciences. My activity usually revolves around genetics and bioinformatics. I also like programming and data science / machine learning.
I started migrating to more ethical digital spaces and services after I had first-hand experience working for one of the most abominable enterprises. There is so much I want to say about it but can't due to legal reasons.

@europanews20 please fucking don't. It's already impossible for a local to buy a home, partially because of middle aged brits inflating the price and also airbnbs and other douchebag corporations of this style

@linus it's cuz we're ugly, bro 🤣
Attractive people be like: "Just go there and say 'hi'. Works everytime"
@SwampWitchHerbalist You know what... i just gonna say it...
@apropos I've been saying this for ages dude. "Deplatforming" someone just means that this someone will go to a more obscure, more niche platform full of people with the exact same opinion as him. This results in the creation of an eco-chamber that will result in amplifying his/her opinion. In the free-speech world, everyone can say stupid shit, but more importantly, everyone can debunk and ridicule the stupid shit that is being said... something that is not done in a "niche" platforms in which said stupid shit will just be validated. Not to mention the fact that "deplatforming" bad thing and "sterilizing" digital spaces distorts the level of urgency of problems. If you find a dead body in the street, what is your first action? To hide the body so no one can see it or to warn your neighbors there is a murderer in the city?

@gingermilk we can deal with these issues as they come. decentralization doesn't have to mean absolute freedom- it just means freedom from one centralized authority who is happy to shut you off because their allegiance lies with someone who has zero interest in whether you stay online or not.
the main threat to decentralized systems (aside from relying on centralized infrastructure) is malicious actors with resources to overwhelm the network with a large number of malicous nodes- do things like flood the network with sock puppet posts and other forms of denial of service

@reuters we get it, Facebook, you're Biden's bootlickers...
@freemo I contributed to that spike. I'm a new member and that's my new toot (hi! 😀 ). I believe it has to do with ban on Trump and Parler. Personally I have been gradually leaving other social media for a long time now. There is no particular reason why I registered here at today (instead of yesterday or a week from now) but I guess the ban of the potus contributed a little.
