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.

Israel already vaccinated 1/4th of their peopleb (by far highest rate worldwide). Yet again another argument to fund science and research. As the article puts it, "You wouldn't wait for a war to break out to start finding the military". Yet that's exactly what most countries are doing.
Another interesting thing it proves is that the government efficiency is just one factor of abysmally slow COVID vaccination... Arguably not even the most important one...

Why don't we also sue paper manufacturers for allowing Hitler and other nazis to write hateful books using their product? This is how stupid any suggestion to "ban" platforms or other mere vessels of speech sound like to me.

@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
