⚠️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.

-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud

Or forever hold your peace (or start from scratch.)

I was just in a meeting where someone used a thing called Fathom to get an 'AI' summary of the meeting. Aside from some understandable typos arising from not understanding terms of art and replacing them with common English words, one of the key points that it concluded was that A was faster than B. It reached this conclusion because it missed one of the digits in the time for A. This completely inverted the key takeaway from one important section of the meeting.

Do not use plausible-nonsense generators for anything important.

⚠️ Is your account on the server med-mastodon.com? If so, you need to transfer your account to a different server as soon as possible.

The med-mastodon.com server is closing down on 1st April 2026, and it can take a few days for transfers to fully happen so you need to start it now.

If you want help moving, there's a simple step-by-step non-technical guide at:

In 2020, when Covid-19 hit Aotearoa/New Zealand's shores, Māori acted quickly to stop the pandemic from reaching their communities, applying the lessons learned from the influenza pandemic of 1918, which had so devastated Māori.

Their successes speak for themselves: Māori rates of contracting and dying from Covid-19 were each HALF of the rates in the general population.

I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get
