Moderation notice:
We decided to silence the mastodon.se instance.
Their admin is as per the receipts adamant that sweden democrats should be able to use his instance.
The issue which he is skirting around is this.
The sweden democrats were formed by none other Gustaf Ekström, a former member of the nazi Schutzstaffeln.
This isnt your ordinary alt-right, these are their role-models and ideologues.
Agreed, the more data that is held in one place also makes it an attractive target for cyber criminals.
This must also have an impact on Education otherwise we would be seeing more people questioning current naratives and perhaps using alternative,such as switching to free software.
We can't have people doing that and actually thinking independently outside the box, it will break their control.
I agree on their vaccine being less effective, heard the same. What the worry now could be, will it spread, are there new varients in CHina? Is there a danger that we could see a resurgence in Covid, along side what we are seeing with Flu and other conditions such as scarlett fever, chickenpox etc, that in some cases seem to be fatal.
The rest of the world could be sleepwalking in to another covid disaster.
More, someone is really showing the Russian air defences as rather non existent.
Cool thank you for this :)

Mathematician John Conway was born #OTD in 1937. He made broad and profound contributions across all of mathematics, but he is maybe best known by the general public for his "game of life" cellular automaton. Conway passed away in 2020, from COVID-19.

Dear MAGA,
The elections aren't rigged. The courts aren't rigged.
Your leaders and 'influencers' are lying to you. Over and over again.
Yet, you insist on giving them your hard-earned money as you attack the people trying to tell you the truth.
You are being played.

"Google will do to the #fediverse what they did to email".
But this is not email. There's nascent community here, an inchoate shared culture, saplings of governance.
Community creates resilience. That's why Google has not been able to kill #Wikipedia. They tried their hand at building community repeatedly & failed.
Yes, every server is different. But there are clusters of commonalities, shared values & transferable practices. These are foundations we can build on to prevent a GMail scenario.
@benjaminhollon maybe this is something that could be built in to the website / apps where users can select an option to produce a breakdown of where different followers are from.
Which is why this question is being asked.
Same here, I can understand why m perhaps as that data could potentially be mis used,
You can download account data so depending on how this is presented there may be a file in there that has all your followers.
@benjaminhollon I am not too sure but it does sound like a good feature.
Very worrying as not only does this put the unvaccinated child at risk, they risk infecting others, who could infect vulnerable family members, I don't just mean elderly members but anyone with a weaker immune system, Cancer can be one example of this.

2022 isn’t the year that we emerged from the pandemic.
It’s the year we chose to normalize ignoring it and leaving the most vulnerable behind.
