No. No no no no no no no. This is the worst idea I've ever seen in my life.
"church owned"
"public access" (so not public)
And let me guess, the books on science and anatomy will be in private men's only club libraries?
Why do these people want to live in the 1890s??
Texas judge’s abortion pill decision cites research based on anonymous blog posts, cherry picks stats that exaggerate the negative physical & psychological effects of mifepristone & ignores hundreds of scientific studies attesting to the drug’s safety.

The Narcissist with a Top Secret Clearance Trying to Impress Teenagers in a Ukraine-Russia Chat Room
Based on the observations of untrained teenagers, it's fairly clear the guy behind the Thug Shaker leaks is a narcissist ginned up by conspiracy theories who leaked the documents in a room focused on Ukraine. The question is whether he leaked the documents solely for the adulation of teenagers, or whether some spooks IDed him as an easy mark.

Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
