Love mastodon but do have a pet peeve. So many people post photos and info without including where in the world they are or where the photos were taken. This is truly a global community. It's helpful to know where in the world you are.

The NSPCC (National Society for the prevention of cruelty to children) in the UK,has a campaign to teach children about being safe, part of this is PANTS, the first part of that acronym is Private parts remain private.

It may go some way to understanding the reasoning behind the no nudity policy.

The US has a toxic attitude towards a lot of things, it's influence spreads due to a US centric world, media and social media, coupled possibly with poor education systems not being capable of teaching critical thinking.

“Given the state of affairs, especially in #Texas, which is sort of at the right-wing vanguard, there’s never been a more urgent need for The Texas Observer,” @gabrielarana, our Editor in Chief, told the #nytimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/us/texas-observer-closing.html

I don’t want to hear thoughts and prayers. I don’t want to hear Republicans discussing their freedom and their fraudulent rejection of a well-regulated militia. At this point, anything other than banning assault rifles is condoning mass murder.

A source of new Fediverse accounts is dev.brighteon.social.
46,862 were discovered during the past day.
Brighteon is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories all over Facebook and Twitter, and it looks like they’re trying their hand at the Fediverse now.
I’ve looked at the accounts on that server, and the overwhelming majority look like bots. The goal seems to be spamming misinformation.
Personally, I recommend putting brighteon.com on #Fediblock.

We've known there are volcanoes on Venus for a long time. What we haven't known is whether there are active volcanoes...until now.
Scientists may have discovered volcanic activity on Venus in archival images:
Meta, is irrelevant as are those who support it People are getting sick and tried of all the nonsense associated with big tech, so they are not going to want to enter a 3d world and be bombarded with the same rubbish in glorious 3d.
Something is certainly needed ASAP, what avenues do you have through the United Nations ?

This diagram illustrates how the BOAT gamma-ray burst cut through our galaxy. It literally gave us an x-ray image of how the Milky Way is put together. #GammaRayBurst #NASA

Astronomers are calling the October 9 gamma-ray burst the BOAT (brightest of all time) because...just look at how brilliant it was compared to the others. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14317 #NASA #BOAT
Are the American people so stupid and or ignorant that they just sit back and let this happen to their country. Regardless of opinion on people wanting to identify their gender as different to that at birth and or wanting to physically transition, we are still talking about human beings, with rights and feelings. Why are people just letting this happen or is the general assumption is that someone else will deal with it?

Will anyone take any notice of this. ?

@zleap @killyourfm For anyone that is interested #yunohost is essentially that.
A headless Debian ISO that can be installed on an old PC, Raspberry Pi, or VPS which even dummies like me could figure out;) They even provide you with a free subdomain!
Once installed, if you're hosting at home, you just need to open a few ports, and you're good to go:)
It acts as a base platform for a whole host of one click apps, but the library is truly staggering in its size.

@killyourfm @zleap WHAT!!!! That was amazingly fast, ha ha!
Perhaps what is needed is a pre made Raspberry Pi and or other image with dependencies set up, boot up, answer a few questions and ready to go.
This is beyond my technical ability but it would mean documentation could be written to support that set up too.
