now that our server qoto.org is (temporarily) not listed in the main mastodon website joinmastodon.org, it seems convenient to promote our server directly in the birdsite. Therefore please follow the link below and like or retweet the post, so that it will be ranked higher in the search field of the #birdsite

Another good video on #sortition comes from David van Reybrouk, who reminds us that “polling” is not the same as “deliberation”.
Looking at the amount of money spent to win elections and at the result of polling the public (“reinstate Trump anyone?”) “on the spur of the moment” (vox populi, vox dei?) I would like to remind us all that there still is a forgotten, but classic alternative out there, which according to Aristotle is the only, truly democratic one:
@enno „Wir uns“ unterstellt ja Gegenseitigkeit? Bislang von Twitter und einseitig. ;-)
Why I believe business #sociopath manipulator #Elon #Musk is a very dangerous man.
Think with me, on the Trump ban.
Now #liar Elon can blame the people for the return of the #liar #racist #fascist #KKK man Donald Trump.
#Hypocrite Musk calls it "free" speech, but fires anyone who criticises him.
Elon skips his responsibility,
by leaving the return of Donald #Trump on the platform to the users through a poll.
#twitter #TwitterMigration
As if that justifies te choice. Elon said, "Vox populi vox Dei", the voice of the people.
Again we are back in the Roman era with emperor Nero, who organised bread and circuses with gladiators for the people.
And again introducing more #hate and #lies to the platform, this only leads to more polarisation of our society.

Da heute wieder viel über die #Strompreisbremse gesprochen wurde, hier einfach noch mal unser #DIW Berlin Explainer "#Strommarkt erklärt: Preisbildung, Preiskrise und die „Strompreisbremse“: Ein Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte über Eingriffe in den #Strommarkt"
Darin erklären wir auch noch mal, warum die Merit-Order nichts schlechtes ist, und warum die "Strompreisbremse" eigentlich anders heißen sollte.

@trinsec Take care as you will be [last word]ing `stdout`
@volkan I just added preferred servers, so I can quickly see local timelines of servers that interest me. Then you can also have hashtag-specific timelines, which is great.
Federated timeline feels useless to me.

@trinsec Had a bit more luck; annoying indeed.
