@freemo I like to think this is not about political ideology, but about short-sightedness. It doesn't matter what you believe in, if you are unable to tolerate criticism or alternative opinions.

@freemo with current real estate prices, just inheriting a property in a good urban area makes you (at least half) a millionaire.

@rscottjones @evan @KevinMarks isn't it public on local, but restricted otherwise only possible if the local timeline is restricted? It's a prerequisite in that case.

@cihuapilli @BlueDot @freemo @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant how is this relevant to the conversation, please?

My current interpretation is that you personally have strong opinions about @freemo's attitude. Neither of this has any relationship to the rules (I welcome corrections to this interpretation). Given what I've seen, my expectation is to be also blocked for this comment. Not a problem, but this is between individuals, not a matter of instance policies.

@freemo @sabbatical Just making sure to join the good words for what you've been doing and keep doing

Over the recent months, in the context of #feminicides and other everyday #violence, I'm starting to more and more think that #patriarchy is not the cause. It's just the tip of the iceberg. It's the widespread #detachment that just makes us not care about any signs of social problems around us... until these problems enter the always-hungry-for-sensations news cycle. But I'm struggling to find how to operationalise, measure and underline this hypothesis.

Dear @QOTO , I'm an academic and as such I try to stay on the watch about what other academics are doing. I am generally convinced that qoto.org is an outstanding platform to do that.

Recently, I've had 3 instances of not being able to follow people on scholar.social which makes me think there's been some sort of defederation between the two instances.

Having quickly examined the local feeds of the two instances, I can imagine that there are some cultural differences between the way these instances are administered. However, from some accounts I am aware of on both instances, I believe both have positive and well intended communities.

I wonder whether there's anything I, as a user, could do to help resolve any possible issues with defederation? In general, what are the organisational mechanisms behind such collective processes? What are the possibilities for mitigation, mediation or whatever?

And last, but not least, is there a mechanism to verify my assumption that this is an issue about defederation?

@freemo for what purpose would this metric be useful? Isn't the per capita metric much more meaningful to avoid mixing wealth from population size?

@pettter @harold mine is also ~10km and I am fine with a non-electric bike. Have you considered this option and could you share some pros/cons? In my case I care more of the exercise than of the actual commute, as I can also travel by metro train.
