@plausible Can these tech giants truly be trusted and can the EU / UK data regulators be trusted to act, act quickly and tough to send a clear message.

@hansw Good point as it is facebook that refuses to change and be held accountable

@hansw Since when are corporations above government if anything Facebook should be broken up,

@ggreenwald I agree the lack of willingness to communicate and engage really holds some people like me back, I want to engage others don't have the same desire.

Collaboration and pooling of resources / knowledge can really help projects. ;

@gioypi @design_RG @freemo It must be coming back up I am getting

"Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"

I am guess it was down for maintenance which was expected as updating the software was mentioned.

@schestowitz I will try and add this to the discourse forum once it is back up.

@design_RG @freemo
As of 11:13 am UK time I am getting 503 bad gateway.

@schestowitz Why are they not meant to report facts and be open and transparent about what they discuss and put in the news.

@emacsen Should be good, I am watching some of the LaTeX conf talks at the moment, will then switch to HOPE

@freemo @design_RG Thanks for looking in to the Discourse issues.

Can I generate an invite link to Discourse ? Or should i just send people the main page ?

@quasistellarspirals I made some how_to blog posts a while back
https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/mastodon-settings
and
https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/mastodon-00rr

There is also some youtube videos

That may b helpful, in essence Mastodon is like twitter so you can make short posts, include pictures, others can boost, like and favourite posts. But with Mastodon you also communicate with other mastodon instances in the fediverse and also instances of services such as Friendica.

@quasistellarspirals How can the community help ?

@crackurbones I am guessing this is not good, other than any CH_4 in the atmosphere, what results from the reaction(s) between CH_4 and seawater ?
