If you like decentralized social media networks, and use Instagram, you should consider signing on to Pixelfed. It's like Instagram, but no algorithm, decentralized, and a lot more options for posting. We're on it:
From those who have negative thoughts after viewing the 'perfect lives' of others to those who can be manipulated into believing outrageous lies. Is the medium of #socialMedia and the #virtualworld creating in sections of the human race a sense of loneliness, despondency and despair? #Paradox

One big difference I notice between scrolling here and on Twitter is that here I don’t have to brace myself for the horribleness that just pops up on Twitter. Another one is that I don’t have to spend any time blocking ads like I do on Twitter because there aren’t any here. This place is much more relaxing and positive. And I know that is because of the great work done by @ColinTheMathmo and @christianp . Thank you both so much!

Philo of Byzantium's On the Seven Wonders (225 BCE) is the first known list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (though it may have been based on earlier works now lost). Philo's list differs from the standard Seven Wonders in replacing the Lighthouse at Alexandria with the Walls of Babylon. #History #TheSevenWonders #ColossusOfRhodes #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2257/philo-of-byzantiums-on-the-seven-wonders/

A leading British climate scientist has told the BBC he believes the target to limit global warming to 1.5C will be missed.
Professor Sir Bob Watson, former head of the UN climate body, told the BBC's Today programme he was "pessimistic".
His warning comes amidst a summer of extreme heat for Europe, China and the US.
The UN says passing the limit will expose millions more people to potentially devastating climate events.
