Somebody gave Mastodon's official iOS app a 1-star review on the App Store because "there are too many Taiwan independence" [sic, translation]. That's a first! Also, Taiwan is a country.

Living in the #Netherlands?
Sign this #petition to the #Dutch Government with a plea for fair #education in the classroom and to keep children away from #privacy-infringing #SurveillanceCapitalism platforms they (and their teachers) are forced to use.
@tfardet not much info yet - you can follow at https://pubhubs.net (if you read Dutch :-))
@mastohost is number of instances the right way to count, or would volume of traffic be better? (Apart from the question how to estimate - some approximation strategy to be determined.)
I'm asking because I suspect instance activity to be very skewed. Maybe hosting 25% of the instances would still result in storing almost every toot and getting almost full network traffic?

"This year, we say "Never again" differently. We hear "Never Again" differently. It sounds painful, cruel. Without an exclamation, but with a question mark. You say: never again? Tell Ukraine about it. Eternal honor to all who opposed Nazism! Eternal memory to all those killed during the Second World War!"
We couldn't go with the trend of the recent Twitter move to Mastodon, because we were already here π
