@freemo
Honestly, I probably would have disengaged from the Fediverse/Mastoverse a long time ago - or at best had a mostly dormant account (like I do on the birdsite) - because of stuff like this, if not for #QOTO.
To my knowledge, this is the instance that comes closest to having the culture that Hacker News wants to have:
> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
(from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
So, thank you, for creating an environment for those of us that want to have genuine and curious conversations.

@xtaldave yeah absolutely 😨😨
@freemo super wierd how qoto is being targetted do you have any idea as to why this is happening ? Could it be some users actually were bad actors or is there something that actually happened ?

Blackouts & terror across #Ukraine, attacked by 70 Russian missiles today—35 on #Kyiv🇺🇦, killing 4.
In #Zaporizhzhia🇺🇦an entire wing of a hospital maternity ward was decimated, a newborn killed.
It's freezing, and people are w/o power.

CW: Mass Shooting in Virginia
We are bombarded by rage shootings back to back to back to back and we have zero time to process any of it individually or as a society. Baseline traumatic existence in this country.

Also folks, I'm using 3 different instances while as a #MastodonNewbie I try to figure out what's the best choice for me. In a week or so I'll probably consolidate. Meanwhile you may see me follow you 2 or 3 times, from qoto, c-dot-im, and vivaldi Mastodons.

@keaton thanks ! The best thing we can do for these folks is boost them and talk about it to our network it’s really quite novel on the cyber warfare spectrum 💪🏻💪🏻

'We have developed OpenFold, a complete open-source reimplementation of AlphaFold2 that includes training code and data. By training OpenFold from scratch and matching the accuracy of AlphaFold2, we have demonstrated the reproducibility of the AlphaFold2 model for protein structure prediction. Furthermore, the OpenFold implementation introduces technical advances over AlphaFold2, including markedly faster prediction speed.'

Watching your national team 🇦🇷 loose their first match at the World Cup represents the bottom of the emotional well of living overseas...

La thèse défendue par Anthony J. Leonardi (@fitterhappierAJ), jeune chercheur en immunologie à Johns-Hopkins, très présent sur Twitter, est que Sars-Cov-2 endommage le système immunitaire. Par certains aspects, le covid possède les caractéristiques d'une maladie auto-immune, chronique, avec un effet cumulatif des réinfections. Il a été sévèrement attaqué et moqué pour ça (par les "minimizers"). L'histoire semble pourtant lui donner raison.
@smadre75 i just did it for me, so basically when you go to block you'll get an option, just block account or block entire domain. since there's only two accounts on that domain, it's no sweat off my back :-)
I've blocked domain notlegit.net on their first day of operation for being weird pro-china trolls... btw they took their propaganda down after i blocked them :-) really strange experiencing the starting up of all this user influx wave as a member of the #TwitterMigration ... the good news is: it's quite easy to block ... head's up @freemo , good luck weathering the storm. 100% of your success will be sheer survivability over time. i'm betting on you :-)
@awarham not the potential lol i'm saying dont be naive, we dont live in mickey mouse land. you really think china doesn't have active (and often times violent) measures a little bit everywhere ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_police_overseas_service_stations
it's bizarre trying to twist something so straightforward : the ccp is not your friend and actively uses any and every electronic means at its disposal to spy , subvert or steal ...
@awarham yes because we're talking about tiktok? twitter and facebook have their own issues, partly because china is constantly abusing them ... https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR4373z3.html

in fact you're basically repeating these now
