@zleap @jalefkowit Forcing everybody to do everything the same way has even worse results.
But who cares, the objective of enforcing conformity and obedience was met. Teaching people anything else was always secondary.

Yeah
So what verbal are used on other Fediverse platforms to mean the same as toot?
In 2024 more work will be needed to protect the environment. Climate activists we surveyed stated that tech was essential to their activism, and a majority rely on social media for their work. To support those protecting our planet, we created a guide to limit social media monitoring. https://pvcy.org/climate
Good point, as Mastodon is one part of the fediverse, and saying fediverse is preferred, as it referes to any of the many services, we perhaps need a common verb that fits.
Good point, kinda like saying I will face book you or let's have a teams meeting. Or Zoom meeting.
I don't't use any of these services, but our psyche has changed.
Thing is, I can't really say I will Mastodon you, or I will Fediverse you when saying I will send you a message.
@zleap Don't use Google any more for search, except very rarely, and haven't in a number of years and I definitely don't get my news through them. But we still say "googling" as a synonym for searching in my house. A person who's good at search keywords is said to have good "Google-fu" too...I think the google=search bridge was crossed a long time ago. But yeah, the meme-ification of things impacts our perceptions. Which is why I am somewhat careful on what I share.
Agreed, the Link I posted from the BBC about google and privacy has the line
"The class action sought at least $5bn (£3.9bn) from the world's go-to search engine and parent company Alphabet."
So the fact they say
"world's go-to search engine"
May not seem very much or significant, until you start thinking on a subliminal level this sort of text works as a way to make people think google = search.
He lost his whole family in Israeli bombings, he can't leave their graves!
Heartbreaking video shared on telegram shows a Palestinian child lying on the grave of his parents.
He has no place to go to and bo one to turn on to.
This is the sad reality of more than 10000 Palestinian children in Gaza and less than 3 months of Israeli assault on #Gaza.

If you want to feel old, it’s four years to the day since this doctor in China privately warned colleagues about a pneumonia case (which turned out to be COVID).. only for his message to be leaked, to go viral on social media, leading to his arrest by authorities for spreading fake news.
A few months later he contracted COVID and died, aged 33.
I get the impression, too, the west bank is also a target.
@zleap There are sectors of the Netanyahu administration that would like to do just that...They've tried to shush them some in the news, but I've seen some of the comments...
Of course they green light this, they will take over Gaza and then decide how the aid is distributed.
I wish my local team had a 53 player roster, to be honest a 30 player roster would be nice
