Too wound up to go to bed, so I just sent lots of emails to people hoping that they'll spread the word and get lots more people to write comments to the FCC telling them that orbital data centres and sunlight-as-a-service are incredibly stupid, dangerous ideas and should never be launched.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍 
On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.
Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.
If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.
You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.
Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.
Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨

You are best to not attack and learn to work with them.

Hillary Clinton is out here claiming young people, including young Jewish people, are only pro Palestine because of TikTok—not because of the painfully documented fact by dozens of human rights orgs confirming genocide, famine, mass rape, and war crimes by IDF.
No acknowledgment that people are relying on social media because the Israeli government has illegally blocked out all international media and killed more than 250 journalists inside Gaza.
Her claim is “Just believe Netanyahu.” Absurd.
