📵 #Iran's internet blackout is now entering its 47th day after 1104 hours without international connectivity for the general public.
The measure continues to severely limit Iranians' ability to check on the safety of friends and loved ones across borders.

📉 Metrics show the internet blackout in #Iran is ongoing into its 48th day after 1128 hours. The censorship measure, unsurpassed in scale and severity in a connected society, has had an economic impact of ~$1.8bn to date per COST methodology in addition to human rights harms.

Mastodon (and other services) are hosted at my registered domain name, which has advantages. Example: No admin can suspend my account, which happened to me previously at another instance.
I pay a hosting provider a small monthly fee to host #Mastodon for me, and I am happy with their service so far.
However, big instances search the federation and find posts better.
Why do you feel that Mastodon.social is dead?
#RSS search:

The most striking illustration of selfishness is trade.
Buying and selling is almost never done with love for others, but in self-love for personal gain. Every man is trying to get the best deal for himself, at the expense of his fellow man.
Trade is present in many churches of men. Trade was even in the temple of the Lord which once stood in Jerusalem, but which has since been destroyed and replaced with Muslim buildings.

Seems like a fair question.

I was not aware of the term "reply guy", so I looked into it.
This is social media, a public forum, so if people do not like receiving replies, they could make their posts private, or make a website with no comment section.
If someone told me they did not like my replies, I would stop bothering them and move on. I do not think you should let anyone upset you. There are other people to be found who appreciate your replies and interaction.

Your test is a success. I see your post!

El hecho de no hablar el idioma nativo de ese país también debe hacerte sentir un poco aislado. Pero por Internet te puedes comunicar sin problemas.
This military mission's publicity is drawing to a close. Many will soon forget about #ArtemisII, and NASA might hope for that, so they are not compelled to release more of the images and data from the far side of the moon.
Why go to the moon, anyway? One of the astronauts, Wiseman, said:
“...when you’re out there, you just want to get back to your families and your friends. It’s a special thing to be a human, and it’s a special thing to be on planet Earth.”
@Chancerubbage
And then there's China's Chang’e and India's Chandrayaan. The military powers appear to be racing to claim what they can.
(In their arrogance, none of them have asked God for his permission or blessing.)
@darkpixel
The spacecraft, with all its cameras, indeed saw things that most humans will not and can not, because #NASA has not been releasing all the images taken.

When people claim they see a UFO, they might be seeing a man-made aircraft or spacecraft.
I just finished my income tax forms. 😓
I copied and pasted a comment from one of the PDF forms into Microsoft Copilot and was surprised it was able to understand it, even though the pasted text looked like unintelligible code to me.

These posts would gain credibility with some cited sources. I looked into this, and I did not realize how bad the damage was.

Good observation! How could #Russia block a decentralized network? They would have to block most of the internet, then.
The article had misleading statements.
"Bluesky itself has only a limited user base in Russia, mostly among people looking for alternatives after X — formerly Twitter — was blocked"
#Bluesky is also formerly #Twitter - it was made by Twitter!
"The decentralized social network" - It is not, even though they keep saying it will be in the future.
@freevolt24
Looks like a good analogy to me.

Looks like product placement.

Is Bluesky really an alternative to Twitter/X?

The image is AI-generated, but the words are not, and were added by me to the image in Gimp.
Police killed a woman who kidnapped a 3-year-old boy at Walmart, after she slashed his face with a knife.
Is this force justified?
The world is seeing this news, which shows America as violent and insane.

@lauren
Why choose to be in agreement with either? The Roman Catholic church is chosen by the world to lead people away from the humble teachings of Jesus Christ.
If you want to find a stark contrast between these world leaders, compare Trump and his religious advisors with Jesus, and then compare the Roman Catholic leaders to Jesus: their actions, and not only their words.
And then we should measure our own lives to that of Jesus, his actions and teachings.

In my opinion, impressive results were obtained in a short time. More samples:
