My instance is arranging to betray #Mastodon with the dishonest racist manipulator, and "federate" with meta.

Rohingya dead mean nothing, Trump means nothing, Cambridge Analytica that installed qanon in millions of brains, means nothing, russian subversion is just "news"

We need much faster protection of #Mastodon, instances are making choices for us. We need instances to pledge to not just avoid meta like the plague, but defederating instances that metastasize.

An epigenetic model of cancer that incorporates the concept of stochasticity could also explain why cancer risk increases with age and how biological development can be reversible.
