TL JordanThe United States has lost its only stand of the massive Key Largo tree cactus in what researchers believe is the first local extinction of a species caused by sea level rise in the country.

If a shitty person slips into even the most peripherality of your circles, the cost can be years of pain and derailed work.
Even if your filters are good, a good person you invite in might not have good filters themselves. So some olds are just like "I know the 20 anarchists in town that have passed the test of time, why would I want to risk it meeting anyone new, I'm never going to talk to anyone else whatsoever."
@jsit the humans are a stand-in for a very different alien species that would be unrelatable to us and therefore humans were substituted.

Christopher HudsonEverything about this story is horrific. But the fact that #Facebook / #Meta turned over this family’s DMs to the cops showcases how evil these companies are and the vital need for #encryption.

@scrwd thank you, but I don't have an iPhone. Maybe someone else on here will want it?
@scrwd I just wish there was a real youtube alternative. Duckduckgo video search is nice because it pulls from everywhere and a lot of times you can watch the video using their service as a proxy but it isn't really an alternative so much as a way around the bs
JonJust deleted the YouTube app from from my phone because it recommended that I watch Nigel Farage whine about banks of GB News. I tried to block the whole GB News or find some way to indicate that I do not want this sort of recommendation and because I could find no options for either of these things I just deleted the whole thing. There is good content on YouTube but it also loaded with ads and crap and unnecessary elongated bullshit videos. I wish there was a better alt UI for YouTube.

@N0ty3p I’m pretty sure this is just a tasteless ploy to get ad revenue but I’m sure it still stings.
