Tomáš Znamenáček“Humans are exceedingly bad at exercising restraint and simply not doing things. Rather than drastically reducing consumption, travel, recreation, and development—things that take real personal and political sacrifice but create space for other species to exist—we put an enormous amount of effort into developing technologies that enable us to continue with business as usual or at least provide a veil of plausible deniability regarding our impact on the world.” https://wildernesswatch.substack.com/p/wilderness-and-the-value-of-doing

We're as frustrated as everyone else with these phishing attacks. mastodon.social had new sign-ups in approval mode this week to limit the impact, but offenders targeted other instances and compromised existing accounts. We take the problem very seriously; we're suspending and blocking as quickly as possible, as well as actively working on countermeasures.
@vicgrinberg There is the Southeast Asian hashtag #makanApaToday if you're interested in food photos from this side of the world.
I'm not sure if there are other regional food hashtags, but maybe they are out there.
