@Amgine I've made that not going decision for similar reasons, a lot, over past few years. I am trying to maintain my #ZeroCovid track record. I feel you!

@kgoetz That's a major reason why I chose zeroes.ca as my instance. It has a 5000-character limit for posts, far more than most Mastodon instances. (Check out my pinned posts — at least one of them is very close to 5000 characters.) And zeroes.ca happily accepts users from outside Canada. Please do note, however, that it is #ZeroCOVID themed — it prohibits things like #COVID19 denialism / minimization, #antivax advocacy, etc.

@thatkatharine Reminds me of this cartoon, which someone on eX-Twitter used as their banner pic. #ZeroCOVID

@mfurlan @leechindustries Agreed. In fact, despite being #ZeroCOVID, I do accept one claim made by the denialists, namely, that #COVID19 is a cold. They aren't so happy when I point out that POLIO is ALSO a cold, is asymptomatic or causes only cold-like symptoms in 99% of those that it infects, and is closely related to other enteroviruses that cause more typical colds, just as SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to other coronaviruses that cause more typical colds.
