The kiddo's fever finally broke. Definitely one relieved set of parents here.

On the downside, there really is no children's Tylenol to be found in Winnipeg. Really remarkable how many (previously standard) OTC medications are completely out of stock city-wide.

Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏

This is what it says about itself:

"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."

It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the #Fediverse stands for.

People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.

You can already verify your account on here without using any centralised lists:

Some strange potential information suppression happening on Musk’s twitter. Our viral piece about Voter Suppression and Photo ID on @BylineTimes now being marked as “potentially spammy” (is that a technical term?)

Be kind

Wear a mask

Thank you

Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.

If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.

The epidemic is spread across the country.
