@shadowfacts I think users at least need some visual feedback so they know something has happened.

@shadowfacts I can click favourite on here and it just changes to yellow, with little animation it does display a url to a external source though.

but I think I am immune to the effects as I just try and interact with what is interesting, Twitter uses algorithms to try and find you related content

"Swansea star Yan Dhanda is latest footballer to suffer racist abuse on social media"

It seems that Facebook and Instagram (owned by Facebook) continue to ignore racist and other abuse on their platforms,. AKA lets assume they condone it (other wise they would do something)

Do you think it is worth suggesting that clubs

1. Set up their own account / Instance on the Fediverse for players staff
2. Set up a 2nd instance for the supporters club season ticket holders which you pay for as you pay to be a club member or pay for a season ticket)
2. Real fans have given their detail to the club so won't cause trouble as their details / evidence could be handed to the police, they can also be banned (life probably) from the club
3. Federate between the two
3a allow sponsors to be mentioned on their own or fan club instance

4. Anyone else can join a different instance (e.g here) and sti follow the club BUT any issues they can be blocked by the club / instance owner

5. Delete ALL accounts on facebook etc, (they are not delete straight away anyway) this with any luck, would deny social media firms income and may make them clean up their act, in a similar way to how FreeSignal got signal to stop using google, perhaps this will bring about change.

Just a thought as the issue seems to be getting worse.

We need ideas, perhaps it will take a huge loss of income to wake them up

If nothing else this idea may get people here, on the fediverse and may encourage others to join too.

on "Ethical Exploration and the Role of Planetary Protection in Disrupting Colonial Practices"

I have set up a thread on discourse to discuss further.

https://discourse.qoto.org/t/ethical-exploration-and-the-role-of-planetary-protection-in-disrupting-colonial-practices/582

I think this is worth further discussion as the paper raises some very interesting points too.

@FediFollows @thebench Great stuff, thank you.

@DrunkShawarma @lig @Matter

It seems to have achieved the aim of making signal google free which was the intention, just maybe not quite in the way that was intended. This appears to be a win win, maybe LibreSignal can exist but if it's brief existence brings about something good, then history can and should at least record that.

@zleap@diode.zone The blog post that I made that embeds this video is not due to be published until Feb 22nd (due to the number of posts scheduled).

However video may not make much sense on its own, so here is the post anyway.

@icedquinn Should we use the term Climate change rather than the term global warming ?

@JimG Yes I think people look for politicians who are leaders not people who mumble, and talks nonsense. .

Trump knows what he wants, know what he wants to say and says it, confidently loudly gives his supporters someone to support. I guess. .

@JimG I guess time will tell come mid terms if the Republicans will surge or be voted even more out of office, as if they get the senate back (I think) they will probably try and block everything Joe Biden tries to do, so I understand the 2 year window you mentioned.
