If this were cumulative from April (of whatever year) and shared again today with the CrowdStrike issue... it becomes believable!?:-P

Also what is the intermixing of water two kilometers away, especially affected by currents (which I presume, without checking ofc bc this is the internet ๐Ÿ˜, are more horizontal than vertical - thus would intermixing occur more readily on the horizontal but the fact that it's vertical distance mean... what really)? So yeah, it makes sense then that due to the unknown factors, the default would take over.

Try DuckDuckGo - I believe its selling point is that it is not as bad as Bing.:-)

I was thinking that chest counted as middle so thus didn't count here? But yeah then South kinda didn't fit in at all... this seems to be not the most well-thought-out comment I've made:-P.

The Catholic Church says hi.:-P

Wow, responding to a spam email is one thing but...:-)

Great addition - I just wanted OP to be aware of what is possible, like if you continue to get notifications for multiple weeks after mistakenly making a comment on Chapotraphouse that didn't bash Biden hard enough and then cease responding anymore yet continue to get those notifications daily... you don't have to leave the entire Fediverse, it is possible to just separate yourself away from that source of (nonconsensual) noise.

But the further away you stay from politics communities(and news, and memes, and maybe other popular ones), the less controversial content you have to deal with. Many communities are outright tiny, and most (numerically anyway) I would wager are very non-toxic, and even friendly. But the bigger ones are worth a warning imho.

I don't mind explicitly political news, or even actual political communities, but nonetheless I feel you there bc when a community like memes explicitly asks to not include political matters, but then it gets inundated with political themed non-memes, it is highly annoying to see how little consent actually matters.

Whatever a community sets out to do, the rules should matter to people, but sadly there are a very large number of those for whom consent means nothing, apparently, only what they can get away with bullying a moderation team into accepting.

I kept switching instances - first as Kbin.social stopped working and then due to extreme slowness and connectivity issues at others - so I found it easier to block whole instances than individuals. That leaves me unable to communicate with some people on those instances who might be worthwhile, but that is a trade-off that I am willing to make since I found the interactions with people on those instances overwhelmingly negative, as in I would rather have left the Fediverse entirely than have to put up with that, though now that instance blocks exist I am glad to have that option instead:-).
