They would probably vote for their lobbygroups and have a voice. Voting with assistance is a normal thing in most countries, so I do not this.

IMHO it is a very slippery slope to tie voting to mental health. (especially since a nearly to neglect margin is to be expected to be excluded from voting)

covid deniers, climate science deniers and other science deniers are not rational either. So where to stop to exclude people?

@SmudgeTheInsultCat

Could it be done with wikidata?

@evan
Strong agree with @est definition of people being able to tell computers what they are supposed to do.

So no, they do not need to be OK-ish programmers in Python/c/Erlang/whatever-lang. Yes, the UX should allow everyone to be able to solve tasks and do automation.

IMHO we fail on the encouraging and UX part quite often.

@evan
I disagree with this "fall into the memory hole of history".
It creates a "winner writes history" timeline, and alas US is projecting a lot of culture to the world.

Schindlers List and others are not even possible in this context, or you introduce a thin line pushing it arbitrarily.
Furthermore think about the open allowed hate speech in USA that is banned in Germany due holocaust denial. All no problem according to US norms.

I am much more for putting it into context.

@evan
The plus side is, by letting it fall out of grace somewhat, is that it fosters new current works. With current standards.

We should not forget, that certain stuff in history can only be explained by the climate in society back then. The cultural works are an important part of this.

Think about the MASH discussions. Which war to pick, having mandatory ER time per episode etc pp. But again, some other stuff can only be understood cross generation if you know their culture.

I find it interesting what kind of discussion break loose in fediverse given that an instance closes its doors at 10k users.

Some people complaining that there is no space for them etc pp.

Fediverse, especially mastodon, grows at a pace of 100k Users per day

So assuming "sane workload" instances be with around 10k Users before things go crazy, we will need 10 of such instances each day. And they need to run stable for years.

So consider running an instance

@jwildeboer @fiftyfourpark @emanuele @mastohost @RyunoKi @aral

But then we are talking what? 28k Followers data in Aral's case, 5k from people Aral follows? Or is this from using the webinterface and scrolling through feeds?

There is even German Government, run by Germany DPO

Meanwhile rumors are that VW is on mastodon.social

@VWGroup
@cariad_tech

Nowhere there is notice that they are on mastodon.social. Just "Mastodon". So I guess someone at brands.town might appear more legit if they start with content.
