This is really quite something... #Antarctic sea ice extent is back to a record low for the current date. This is actually below 2016, which was previously a massive outlier in November and December.

@fkamiah17 Facism has arrived! We were dismissed as scaremongers when we pointed to the signs the Tories were moving in this direction. The law is now whatever the UK Parliament says it is

The quality here is far better, but quality wins over quantity in many cases anyway.

Yeah, very much this.
I do find it cool that Fedi doesn't even require constant content generation, unlike most platforms that use weighted algorithms.
This works for me, because I go through flurries and dips in posting and finally no longer have to feel that I'm using the platform wrong.
I just follow many many cool people who post shiny things, some people follow me for (presumably) similar reasons, I post sometimes, reply sometimes and somehow it all works out without anyone bring de-prioritised for inactivity.

@rolle so many folks seem to have forgotten that the key part in social media is the bit where it's social. They all want to act like internet celebrities and quit as soon as they aren't showered with attention.

@rolle fairly certain that a person with enough followers, on any social network, could post "Have a nice weekend, everyone" and get blocked by at least one person for trying to dictate how they live their life.

Someone should respond with those million to one (odds) of planes taking off are far better than the chance of the Tories winning the next election.

Following the publication of the U.K. government's emergency legislation to deport refugees to Rwanda Sunder Katwala, Director of British Futures think tank, has retracted his former statement.
He says he was wrong to state that there was a million to one chance of planes taking off to Rwanda in the spring, as the government promised. He now says there isn't even a million to one chance of planes taking odd to Rwanda in the spring.

@zleap @fkamiah17
Some kind of media reports are certainly a problem, but the classification if someone is a trafficker is also done by politicians, governments and courts, and this is the real issue.
But isreal has the right to defend itself, this rhetoric will carry on until enough people say enough is enough without the fear of being called antisemitic. Until then the suffering will continue.
I will have a look later, but we are moving very fast with this.
