South Carolina carries out execution by firing squad, first in USA since 2010.

Oh...is that awkward gesture too much now? Interesting.

For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂
