I've updated (mostly culled) my list of Milwaukee Mastodon users.
This list used to be over 80 people, but the vast majority only posted in 2022/2023. A few straggled into 2024. I removed anyone who hasn't posted more than once in 2025.
It kind of sucks, but meh... it is what it is.
Also, I should try to find more people. And, move this off of GitHub at some point.

Why Covid-19 will never become endemic
For most of the pandemic Australia has worked to contain the virus through evidence-based public health measures such as border closures, case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, social distancing, vaccines and, at times, lockdown. Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public health measures, most of which do not impinge on freedoms. Denial is a major theme during the pandemic.
