Yknow, folks joining fedi while Twitter collapses is a pretty good example of the anarchist philosophy of dual power; do the work to build better systems while the old ones still dominate, and it'll be there for folks when the bad system finally collapses.

Quick question about #lists - how do they work? I was trying to create a list to have a bunch of people I know I like to follow in one place. I managed to add them to a list but when I open it there is nothing in it. Will only new posts appear?

Is Google profiting from climate denialism?

While #Australia burned, Google took money from a think tank funded by fossil fuel companies to spread misinformation about #ClimateChange, a new report claims.

Report today from Crikey:

While Australia burned, Google took fossil fuel money to spread misinformation about climate change

A new report claims Google made more than $400,000 by breaking its own policy of prohibiting climate misinformation ads.

@joshtpm I'd say none of the above. I chose the aus.social because I understood the regional component. Would have probably looked more thoroughly had I known more (and probably will)

Keen to follow back, especially fellow new arrivals, but am more inclined to do so for accounts which contain at least a few lines about who they are! Don’t be shy, folks!
