@Dennis1212 I need to be more involved here. Unfortunately, stupid people keep jumping into my timeline there. Flerthers... Ye gods, what a silly bunch. But in following the responses, I catch cool stuff from RedsRhetoric and so many others. In fact, one of the provisions of qoto.org I got from @freemo via email, "It's OK to join if you are just a fan of STEM, so long as you aren't a Flat-earther or such."
#UFoI has been quiet lately as I look, unless I'm missing stuff. My forays into political talk leaves people confused and angry for some reason. I wave friendly greetings to the whole political spectrum and everyone gets mad at me anyway.
@freemo @Dennis1212 Cool. Talking with some of these people strongly reminds me of flerthers. "Freemo wants to be a dictator! That's why he's... (checks notes) setting up a democratic system to avoid stupid defederation nonsense. INTOLERABLE!"
