No, they should be where no entity outside of European jurisdiction can influence their messaging.

The EU commission has their own Mastodon instance. That’s how all public services should do it.

That’s just replies to a post. It doesn’t solve not all posts reaching everybody.

It cannot be “fixed” unless you centralize into a single firehose like Xitter and Bluesky.

Those of us running smaller instances can choose to use relays and fetcher-tasks - and there is a PR to put one such fetcher into Mastodon - but if the goal is 100% of everybody always sees 100% of the content then no decentralized solution will ever offer that.

“Slight” difference in bandwidth between these cables and Starlink.

If you know better than Dr Mann perhaps you should publish a few papers?

It sounds more like you’re one of those doomists he describes.

Tell that to Michael Mann, perhaps one of the most distinguished climate scientists:

“Actually, the warming of the planet is very much in line with early climate model predictions. Some impacts, such as ice sheet melt and sea level rise, and the slowdown of the ocean ‘conveyor belt’ are exceeding those predictions.” Current policies alone likely keep warming below 3°C (5.4°F), nowhere near the “worst-case” scenarios.

We’re seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there’s no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don’t get any headlines.

Test drove the VW ID.7 yesterday. Lease is up on our Tesla in two months and the ID.7 seems to be a great replacement.

I have now installed it and I like it.

I haven’t installed it yet, but I’m going to try out Gitness for this: https://docs.gitness.com/

No you’re absolutely right. Russia’s even behind some of that “anti-semitic tensions in Europe” stuff making headlines.

It’s an actual influence operation.

Yeah I was able to install sliding-sync on Dendrite without issues. A bit surprising that I didn’t see any guides made for it yet.
