time to rise up, disobey. Open your business, if you don't have business, don't use mask, don't social distance

#ioapro ("I open") is the hashtag on twitter

Telegram @ioapro

Stasera tutti a cena fuori e pagare cash

"Tonight everybody out for dinner and pay by cash"

Every region in Italy has a telegram group to coordinate the disobedience

This is beatiful

If in 2021 you still think that "A single bitcoin transaction alone consumes 621 KWh", you should probably focus your attention on things you understand, because you clearly don't understand how Bitcoin work.

For anyone unconvinced that twitter is algorithmically flagging keywords. They don’t even use a fancy AI. They look for substrings.

apparently parler's status page is fake according to ciafacebook

Published in nature: Bitcoin emissions alone could push global warming above 2°C. -->>

It is an embarrassment that this was published! They scaled energy with number of transactions: "At each time step, CO2 emissions for the given number of transactions were estimated based on the emissions generated to mine that number of transactions in 2017."

Bitcoin network does not work that way. Energy is spent securing the blockchain, not per transaction.

The ruling comes as a potential blow for social media companies operating in Canada, possibly leaving them open to further lawsuits by Canadian citizens http://thepostmillennial.com/bc-court-allows-twitter-to-be-sued-for-defamation https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1350931026248429568 #Canada

Maybe I'll hook it up to an accurate user count bot at some point, but anyway: There are 2,728 Mastodon servers online today and on them, there are 252,893 monthly active users, a number that increased by 45,517 since Jan 11th.

@pete @bryancyan @Genericblog Not only that, but even closed groups were getting the e-mail notice that they need to leave. With open groups like DD it's obvious what's going on because anyone can join and see. But somehow they saw what's happening in a few closed groups. Could be that someone in them snitched, but it's still concerning.

@verretor It’s like email but social media

@verretor "The Fediverse is Twitter but you're not invited and we can't stop you from showing up."

Not on social media?
