God, I'm so disgusted by this country sometimes. There's already an open political discussion about sending refugees back to Syria. WTF.
I had a long conversation with a mother from Ukraine after German politicans discussed sending people back to Ukraine earlier this year. Her child is in my son's class. You have to be an absolute monster to not see what those discussions do to people who try to build a new life here after the entire family has been brutally traumatized.
TIL that Mastodon enforces "noreferrer" on all external links. It never appears in your stats and maybe that's one of the reasons why it didn't catch on with people & orgs who actually rely on such stats.
I agree with @npub1x595...gect here. I have mixed feelings about it:
Climate science communication is in a really bad place. People are too numb, overwhelmed and bombarded with shit. Yet, the message needs to get across.
I found this new angle quite interesting. (unfortunately only in German)
What's already locked in?
Maybe Iβve turned too soft and pragmatic, but I think that millions of people finally leave Twitter and donβt end up on Threads is a good thing. I wanted the Fediverse βto winβ for a long time. I think the crypto VC money behind Bluesky is a huge red flag and will very like backfire. But I also think that itβs not in my control what people prefer and there are valid reasons why they prefer Bluesky, no matter if we like it or not.
