These warmongers have no shame. They lied about Iraq, just as they're lying about #Ukraine now and previously. If one looks in our print media archives, it was only a few years back that some high profile media was writing about the Fascist and neo-Nazi propagation in western Ukraine. Now the same are saying there aren't any Nazi's despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Qoto != Goto
Yet, when first I glanced at Qoto, I saw Goto, that infamous #Fortran statement responsible for mountains of spaghetti code. I then saw what it really stood for and immediately signed up.
Qoto, to me, means #reading to learn or teach ourselves. How else really? Watching or hearing do not quite measure up to reading, especially physical books that you hold. In bed, paperbacks are preferred; hardcovers can be dangerous if you’re drowsy.😩
The best way I found to see if I’ve learned something from reading is to write down a synopsis. Not so easy. How about writing something original? I have great admiration for all writers of: #novels, #short stories, #history, cook books, text books, technical specifications, how-to books, etc. etc. I’d go out on a limb and say, the art of writing is significantly more difficult than either creating a painting or composing a piece of music. Please note that I said art, not science.
In this internet age, much of our reading is in snippets. TL;DR
So, here’s a poll for the longest time you’ve spent reading in one sitting recently. (excepting this toot)
OK, one more step done. Everyone on Masto.host is now running v4.0.
About half running v4.0.2 and half v4.0.1.
For the ones on v4.0.2 the upgrade is done (unless v4.0.3 is released 😂 ).
The others on v4.0.1 I will upgrade them in the next hours to v4.0.2. A small restart is required that will cause about 15 seconds of downtime.
If you run into any issues, please let me know. Thanks.

So obviously we've all been paying a huge amount of attention to Musk's acquisition of Twitter. Understandably!
But imo warnings that the site is about to slide into a far-right extremist hellscape are unfounded. The fact is that Twitter is too generalist. It will take *a lot* to shift tthe current balance of ~ 5% ISIS/QAnon/Neo-Nazi shit, 95% dunking on Musk and crypto bros; towards more like 50/50. I don't see it.
To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

What's the long-term impact of a social media hub of like-minded radicals, whipping themselves into fervor over threats real and imagined? We've already seen the results of that once. What happens in round 2?
