Folks, Mohammed ( @…) has taken ill after his trip to the South to try and secure a place for his family.
It’s likely Covid.
It’s the second account I’m seeing of someone who visited the South falling ill with Covid in as many days.
Please help him cover cost of treatment in addition to everything else.
This is his fundraiser:

No shelter, no safety - Help Mohammed survive genocide in Gaza
My name is Thomas and I live in France and in the UK. I'm hosting Mohammed's campaign because Palestinians cannot host their own campaigns. If you've got any questions or if you'd like any proofs, I'm happy to provide you with these. Please support! Peace ✌️

Yeah! How hard would it be anyway to get thousands of volunteers who work on a completely free project to emulate these other commercial entities with full time employees who are making stuff that they sell for actual money?

Eu tenho uma relação de amor e ódio com slides. Eles são uma mão na roda porque permitem que você consiga ministrar muito mais conteúdo na mesma quantidade de tempo. Mas bons slides requerem muito trabalhos em sua preparação, principalmente estes com figuras.

I am curious to see how this affects the behavior of the @… users. I cannot classify this as good or bad and have no opinion in this regard. What is yours?

Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse
Mastodon is rolling out quote posts, allowing you to repost someone else’s content and add extra context. The decentralized network will offer full control over who can quote your posts.

As I also commented there, it is so important to understand what 'digital' in all its electronic forms, implies: the history and timeline of any bit cannot be known. What you call objects, text movies whatever, are bits. We cannot know if or when anything was copied or changed, and if we do track it, our tracking system suffers the same flaw.
Fediverse is public, unencrypted, because all else is illusion (or delusion)
