I'm moving my account from earthstream.social to universeodon.com fellow citizens.
Please understand that I greatly appreciate the compassion of those I've encountered on earthstream.social, but the 500 character limit has prevented me from fully engaging with any of you personally, or in the subjects we care most about.
I'm going to attempt the migration now, and then my new address will be @SearingTruth.

"prostituting one's self for heroin." ?
Yikes!
That kind of generalization is why so many recreational drug users have been imprisoned and executed throughout history fellow citizen @Artisan_recycler.
No matter the human being they actually were.
Or contributions to humanity they made before they were killed.

Mastodon is being destroyed by those simply selling things in guise of commentary fellow citizens.
From products to bodies to ideologies.
I have no problem with commerce, but it should be marked as such so users can know individuals from companies and corporations or any simply wishing to profit from their posts.
Or Mastodon will simply become Twitter 2.0, with extra unconstrained comments directly from hell.

"Do not discount, or overrate, the power of good.
But instead hold it in balance, and reflect upon what it has achieved, and what it has failed to achieve.
And if you do so objectively, I think you will find that there is indeed an inherent power in good, and an inherent weakness in evil.
For one upholds and uplifts humanity, while the other suppresses and cripples it."

Most all the great scientists, engineers, authors, and philosophers throughout human history consumed recreational drugs that were illegal at the time fellow citizen Artisan Recycler.

"If recreational drugs had been illegal, perfectly detectable, and punished by death throughout history then we would have little of the art, culture, and science we have today."

"As a child I remember suddenly finding myself at the edge of an ocean after tide.
I could only return by jumping from one rock to another, as my feet grew raw and the sea surrounding them red."

I so wish I had more than 500 characters to respond, but I don't fellow citizen Stephanie Ortoleva.
However I wrote a plan to save all of us long ago, titled "A Future of the Brave".
It begins with the politics of 2005, which I once thought a mistake, but now seems prescient.
If you go to searingtruth.com you can read it. And if the beginning is too boring just go to "A Grand Challenge.

"Never underestimate the power of evil.
Because that’s when it’s strongest."
