I'm a biophysicist by training interested in the pedagogy of music and biophysics. My current work involves investigating recreation therapy and TMS, being a confrontational scicommer, and running a pickup baseball charity that meets in Oakland at Caldecott or Bushrod every Sunday at noon to hit, throw, and catch baseballs for free. And I amplify meidastouch news.

Exactly. Every time I hear a crap company say they couldn't operate if they allowed people their rights or actually tried to do a good job they're just admitting how hard they're failing as companies.

Practice collecting these things to evacuate with them
People, pets, plastic (credit cards, id cards), papers (difficult to replace documents), pills (medications)
i've been moved by mathematician hung-hsi wu's work creating an introductory mathematics curriculum emphasizing the following principles:
1. Precise definitions are essential.
2. Every statement must be supported by reasoning.
3. Mathematical statements are precise.
4. Mathematics is coherent.
5. Mathematics is purposeful.
his work includes pedagogy books starting with zero prior student knowledge up to calculus and linear algebra. he writes out a path of mathematical reasoning that sidesteps the mistakes in common textbooks.
i want to be able to teach people math and this seems like the best work to learn from. ideally i would keep consistent practice of working through these books and after a while pick up some students. in a perfect world the students would be interested in learning from a new version of introductory math that doesn't suffer from explanatory gaps. introductory physics has explanatory gaps but not introductory math.

blocking them removes them from the network centered on the op's posts and reduces their visability. it's remote ostracization and i think it's warranted. they can make a new account or find another account posting awesome things.

Also, how can we have no choice but also should have massive anti war protests? Why do you think we aren't putting pressure on these fascists waging war with our money and our soldiers?

Well, I'm here to tell you that you're wrong about what the no kings protests are mostly about.
It can look like there's no pressure when there is lots of pressure and you just choose to not look for evidence of it.

I understand that many servers are in closets and run on residential energy rates, but identity on social media networks includes posts and images. We are what we wrote and we are what we will write.
It's good to design for the cheapest hardware and internet speeds but to be perfectly honest, some servers can afford it but choose not to because the low hanging fruit is to offer only the bare minimum as long as they can

Who can best make change in how mastodon works besides the politicians who would leave Twitter and join mastodon? The software engineers aren't doing it fast enough. In the hypothetical world where they all left and joined us they would be demanding improvements and organizing the people who could implement it all

that's just wrong. dictators are bad because of foreign wars and domestic authoritarianism and no one but you assumes it's mostly the latter. i told you no kings includes lots of antiwar protest but you have provided no evidence that no kings is primarily protest about domestic matters. you just made it up and don't want to admit that. i get it.

I disagree Twitter is a successful company. Twitter is successful like the us regime is successful, by that I mean it's a criminal enterprise that would fail if it's criminal leaders were in prison.
Politicians taking up space and demanding institutions build on mastodon will add the missing features
