Heh. It took me a while to find the link to the list of blocked users in the Mastodon interface. Was it ever in a more visible location? It's in the โฎ menu where you write new posts and where it says "Edit profile". Well hidden, I'd say! Now that I have the list I wonder: should I review the people in the list?
@algernon Hm. I remember being unable to connect once I tried to add TLS to prosody. The result can be seen at the end of this blog post: https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2018-06-07_No_More_WhatsApp Basically: the client connects, and disconnects immediately, and I was unable to figure out what to do. It worked without TLS, it didn't work with TLS. All of that was without thinking about OMEMO. @ts52
@ekaitz_zarraga Hah! Personally Iโm interested in a Gopher client that would make it easy to work on something like a wiki. A read-write-gopher! I had a prototype branch in VF-1 and in gopher.el for Emacs but nobody else seemed interested at the time. https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2017-12-30_Gopher_Wiki
I trust vaccines because of doctors. The medical community. Friends who do medical research or work within that field.
Not because of "what I read online". It's a sensible opinion to distrust everything, even something basic like sleeping, but to go from there to distrusting all experts based on hear-say (and it is hear-say) isn't sensible.
@strypey I'm not so sure. Does the round earth need papers to prove them? Do summaries of voyages around the world count? I haven't been to space, yet. And I haven't read any recent papers on the topic. And yet, here I am promoting the idea that the earth is round. A website by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services is not good enough? This is a surprise swerve into ontology and the nature of reality and I don't think I'm interested in going there.
