Armistice day day, so the home secretary invited a bunch of seig-heiling, swastika tatted dickheads to the cenotaph, where they proceeded to fight the police.

The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill

Silicon Valley says it loves innovation and new ideas.
The main idea for social networks that has never been tried is making AGGRESSIVE MODERATION the main product and trading GROWTH SPEED for COMMUNITY HEALTH.
But that will never get funded by the libertarian men of venture capital.

I'd say it's probably not ideal for the CEO of Twitter to tweet a fake Voltaire quote that's actually a quote by US neo-Nazi, white supremacist and convicted paedophile Kevin Alfred Strom.

Sure, and happy to answer questions.
Our basic plan is: "federation is scaling!"
We're going to run a number of PDS instances and (transparently) place users on the best instance for them based on laws/latency/etc.
And we'll do classic big-ol-distributed-systems stuff for BGS/AppView aggregators.

And what's the plan for near future, if any.
Thank you

It's World Eel Day! Eels have always been an important part of global human history. Anywhere they can swim, they have mattered.
In medieval England, people paid rent in eels! In c.1100, there were 540,000+ eels paid every year as rent!.
Here's a map of places that paid rents:
