Ik heb mijn steentje bijgedragen, maar het lijkt erop dat we nog 4 jaar Rutte in het verschiet hebben.

Het #FvD is zo te zien op weg naar de 8 zetels. Hulde! Waren het er maar meer. Volgende keer beter.

It is proven! I am ianmacd on Keybase: https://keybase.io/ianmacd/sigchain#5955b820f190adbe9d6984e3ce788fb37a8df39644fb0718d001807444ae20d70f

Nice chatting with you.

I'll close by thanking you for providing this instance.

It's great that there's a place that a) allows unfettered access to the entire Fediverse; b) hasn't descended into complete chaos because of it; and c) most surprisingly of all, hasn't been widely blocked due to it.

It seems to me that by far the most important thing about Mastodon is now sadly overlooked in this age of censorship and general intolerance of open discussion; and that ironically even includes the network's creator.

Thanks for providing a safe haven for the open exchange of ideas. Only in such an environment can ideas flourish and the human race truly progress.

For that reason, I feel very strongly about free speech, and I consider the worst excesses of free speech a very small price to pay for its benefits. The alternative is unthinkable. This seems to be an unpopular opinion nowadays.

Have a good day and thanks for the crossposting tip.

Is the Mastodon crossposter not allowed on #qoto?

If not, fair enough, but I can't actually find a statement to that effect anywhere on the site, hence the question.
