No I understand. You can dismiss the assertion that Thor is real by being undecided on the issue, which is the only nonfaith based conclusion. The lack of evidence is the whole point. You have exactly as much evidence of thors existence as you do his nonexistance. So if you assert he exists or not then that is faith, if you assert you don't have enough evidence to decide either way then that is science.
Since you claimed you have no reason to believe god doesn't exist, or exist, then you are undecided and thus by definition agnostic.
We have been very overloaded because despite receiving a few million in funding, which includes QOTO it also includes quite a few other things. We have spent most of the year highering and ramping up and frankly it took a lot longer to ramp up than I expected.
As of right now we have one guy looking into a few fixes so we may have a few more things fixed soon. If you want let me know and ill give you the link to the matrix room where you can talk to the developers and system admin.
I also hired 2 new developers with a cross over to system admin, so once we get them signed up we should have a bit more bandwidth to tackle what few issues we have left.
I've finally set up bridging of my Mastodon account to Bluesky through https://fed.brid.gy/
Highly recommend to bridge as well so we can break the silos a bit and 1) follow each other's content and 2) have interactions visible in each other's platforms
@freemo you know, I got a nice anecdote on that. In the middle of the ongoing harassment campaign, when we were at the height of throwing statements at me day and night that were clearly intended as attacks and (false) accusations, there was the occasional disconnected comment.
More than once have I seen statements like "you know, that's just someone being kind", which was interpreted as manipulation of some kind or another. So, no, even just being kind isn't acceptable anymore.
Just a reminder, under Trump spending on the genocide against the Palestinian people went from 4.7 b at the end of Obama/begining of Trump's time in office, down to 4.3b byt he end (just military support for israel not humanitarian aide).
Under Biden Harris it went the opposite direction, from a spending of 4.3b at the start to a whopping 12.5b in support of the genocide in 2024.
I cant say I'm happy with Trump winning, but at least I can say the palestinians might be better off. All I know is this is why Harris, more than anything else, was never going to see my vote.
Its worse than that, though those points are true. Harris has a history of actively promoting hate against trans people, specifically her spearheading the SESTA act which explicitly denies access to hormones to any trans people under arrest. She and Trump never had any business being leaders to begin with. Third party was **always** the only real ethical choice this election.
Between Trump's treatment of women and insults to other groups, and Harris' unwillingness to separate herself from Biden's policies (including genocide), it continues to feel like both candidates are trying to lose.
LOL forget about polls, you want to know the chance to win look at the odds vegas is giving on the election. I dont want to see Trump be president but as of yesterday Trump was odds to favorite by a large margin. So regardless of who you may like, i hope you are ready for the civil unrest that is coming either way...
@lucifargundam Just FYI I got 2 of our guys working on the few remaining problems you pointed out. Should be a day or two. If you want to follow you can at the QOTO Lobby
Who are you rpoting for, Harris and a complete global economic collapse and world war, or Trump ans the end of democracy in the USA? Choicea choices...
