hello world

Making my first post, my usual preferred background.
Still learning the ropes here, we'll figure it out soon! 😘​

The group of people who are trying to divide the fediverse seem to have reached a new low.. They have a tool that lists how many instances block a particular instance, but it is highly manipulative.

For starters it is hand curated.. so they exclude blocks against their own instances and only includes instances they actually dislike.

Worse yet they curate a list ordered by "most blocked".. problem is they use the number of instances that block. They game the system by having large number of single-user instances. So instances in the top 50 may only be blocked by a few hundred people but still appear as if the blocks are significant....

This is why we need transparency, its why we need the https://UFoI.org

First toot! 😜 and happy to be here!

@acosta @ChrisKillat I concur. I’ve already asked them to delete my Post account. I don’t want to be the product for another billionaire. I’m nice and cozy right here.

Finally got here. Tired of the drama over there. Will be sharing our journalism @ProPublica and occasional adorable photos of my grandson.

Continued scans from the Middlesex Hospital, New Jersey, USA series that I have found amongst the family photos. This is 1926. Nurses lounge. It looks like the series were a posed photoshoot of the hospital. One of the nurses in this photo is my husband's grandmother who worked as a nurse in NE Tribal India for decades.
