If they want a safe space what are they doing on social media? FFS start a forum on the web don't join the Fedearated social web. It should mirror the world! It's also culturally insensitive. What one finds abhorrent in the so called western world, might not be in other cultures. So, leave it tp the user. Overly sensitive people maybe shouldn't be online.
@zleap Maybe we should investigate Biden's financial ties with business in Ukraine. #Corruption
@freemo It's Orwellian and Authortarian, exactly the thing most "progressives" say they hate. I don't get this instance thing when the tools to block entire instances are in the app, (web browser). Haven't checked to see if Fedilab has that option, but that's the way it should be done. Let the user decide!
@Paulos_the_fog
Had you been fully vacinnated prior to catching it? Usually that's why the symptoms are milder compared to being in the ICU. I've heard about the mental fog and I saw a billboard back in the spring here in Toronto where some entity was doing research into 'Long-Covid' and the brain fog.

Having made it through several years of the COVID pandemic without catching it, I thought I'd got away with it. Wrong! A few months back I started coughing and feeling a bit off colour and the lateral flow test indicated that I had finally caught COVID-19. I tested positive for about 5 days and then the tests went negative. Other than an annoyingly persistent cough for about four days, a bit of a sore throat and a mild general feeling of malaise, it really wasn't that dramatic.
However, I noticed that I was forgetting things more than more than I usually do and that I was suffering from what I thought to be “brain fog”. This was characterized by an inability to bring words to mind when speaking and the general slowing down of my mental processes. For example, if I wanted to create a new Word document, something I do quite frequently, it would take anything up to 30 seconds between me thinking “I need to create a Word document” and my brain remembering how you do that. As I used to be a computer programmer, I found that really scary. This mental fog persisted for several weeks following the infection. Thankfully, several months later, I seem to have regained my mental agility.
Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms?
Does the description above qualify as “brain fog”?

Having a good laugh listening to this. Do the IgNobels know about this reasearch yet?
Yeah, you may right, only Baley knows.
I suppose those small white square things are feta?

Yeah he's not a great communicator, for sure!
@worldsendless
I saw a post yesterday, where someone's elderly mum was able to register and send out her 1st toot, by herself! Personally I'm mid 70s and I had no difficulty. It's mostly in their minds and lack of research in my opinion.
@Baley
Mm, looks great!😁
@andreiz
LOL I doubt that even he, isn't that crazy! 😉
@Billius27@mstdn.ca
It's political, that 30% are a very loud minority, and we don't need more angry demos.
FWIW I agree with not making it compulsory, but as guidance to wear a mask indoors, all the time.
I see most complying since the beginning of the week. Most not doing so that I've seen are in the 18-35 years old bracket.

Network Effect: #Birdsite
For those planning to leave Twitter because of Elon Musk, a word of caution
Past experience shows that communities that call Twitter home are unlikely to be able to completely reconstitute themselves elsewhere.

**It will be Interesting to see if he's right. There's no doubt in my mind that Twitter was overstaffed for a company that has yet to turn a profit.**
Here’s how a Twitter engineer says it will break in the coming weeks
One insider says the company’s current staffing isn’t able to sustain the platform.
