Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

Dear #journalists around the World!

Here in #Finland many of us are grateful about your articles of our new #conservative - far right government.

It was because of the pressure of your articles that finally drove the #nazi-connected The Minister for Economic Affairs Vilhem #Junnila to resign.

But there's more!

And if you do report about the events and about the new ministers, mainly in the #FarRight party #TheFinns, it would make a difference.

Today there was a bit of royal flummery in Edinburgh. Not-quite-a-coronation. There weren't the crowds they'd apparently been expecting, to judge by the barriers, but there were some people in a couple of bunches. There's video in which the crowd – “crowd” – can be clearly heard booing and chanting #NotMyKing

It warms the heart, it really does. There's hope for the country yet. #Scotland
