I would propose giving Ofcom a month to take action, or we shut
t hem down as a regulator, they seem totally useless.

If Mongolia has a duty to arrest Putin, but fails to do so, what are the consequences for Mongolia ?
I just hope this strike action can carry on for as long as possible, it will get to the point where Netanyahu and the current government have to change direction, esp if more body bags come back home.

I have heard similar stories, in that people have had conversations face to face than by some odd coincidence up pop related adverts. The only way that can happen is surely eavesdropping.
So been happening for years,

I'm sure our administrative agencies are going to be all over this! I'm just positive that no matter who wins the election, they'll have to put an end to this dystopian practice, right? Right?!?
Haha! We all know that Silicon Valley companies are allowed to do whatever they want with no repercussions. This is the hell world all the "smart people" have created for us, the fucking idiots.

They get their care home, which is what they want, the price they are paying or will pay in the future is unknown. This is the super rich I guess,

@zleap @theferret this sounds infinitely worse than just telling him to get lost and building the care home as originally planned.

Day after day after day after day Russia bombs Ukraine. Russia is using the same techniques on its own country, leveling towns that Ukraine has seized in its counterattack into Russia.
Russia targets playgrounds and apartment buildings and schools and markets. These are precision bombs - they go where they are targeted. In this case, a playground in Ukraine.
This is a war crime.
Everyday we continue imposing usage restrictions extends the war.

Mastodon is a social network, not a business.
It does not need to grow at any cost, it does not need to catch "opportunities", it does not need to beat any competence.
It just needs to be a nice platform for people to share and interact. As it already is.
I hope the developers understand that, and keep it that way.
Have fun in bluesky. And when corporative greed transform it in a swamp of ads, trolls, newsbots and shit, as is certainly will, remember you have an account here :-)

i still think that the mis- and disinformation neologisms are themselves just false. information is information. these terms are just fancy new words for "doesn't fit the official narrative, no matter if true or false".
i know you are on the other isle on this, but take the mrna shots: posts which said that rather severe side effects were more common than officials admitted were called "misinformation". a while later the official numbers in germany did show one severe reaction in 10000 doses. i don't know the official term but that's certainly not "very rare". the "nonsevere" reactions were one in 2000, still much more than usual vaccines.
regarding "nazis" and censorship to prevent them: censorship is what the nazis (and every other authoritarian like communists) did as first thing when they came into power. if anything, censorship is a proof of things already being "nazi".
the view that most people are too stupid and are easily manipulated also is placing oneself above them, making democracy a farce. either people have complete agency, which is the only way democracy makes sense. or they don't, but then don't call it democracy, because it clearly isn't if people have to be controlled to vote for the "correct" choice.

We never know what happens in peoples heads, maybe what happened at Arlington was simply a step too far for the veterans and they speak up, sure there have been a lot of other incidents but a lot of people keep ( or may ) quiet to avoid being seen to be making a fuss (where they are quite annoyed in the back of their heads)

File under weird AF - it's emergency services day at the football and the riot squad just did a demo
4 penalty flags for the riot cops for ineligible players,
so that is at least 20 yards back
As for other, they need one more player :D
We could add in the middle, esp for the UK utilities or train companies etc
"we can't afford to invest properly so water is safe, trains run on time, etc"
add at the end We can't afford to pay shareholders huge dividends"
