Just spotted the project on https://the-federation.info/ and the name was obviously a red flag.
In their own words:
"SpeechMore is a secure, privacy respecting and pro-freedom of speech social network."
Does anyone know more about it?

@U039b the user-level moderation power and the idea of giving tools for organising really resonates with me, as I get more and more fed up with the direction some ~fully decentralised network projects are going. I'm specifically thinking of LBRY, which give _no_ moderation tools whatsoever, and is therefore becoming a fascist "free speech" haven – opening the door to unrestricted harassment. What a surprise, from what looks like a team of 100% American cis men into crypto...

@wendy haha, won't tell :)

I am launching today my new product: IMDb.
It stands for "Internet Manichaean Database". Users can rate anything they want, using a 1-star scale.

@hafnia Another question I'd like to see answered is why there is so much diversity inside a society (i.e. genetic makeup?). I've seen people with similar origins having no nausea whatsoever, and others have it really bad.
First time I see the term "Darwinian medicine", really cool. 2/2

@hafnia It would be interesting to see what the stats are for early stage nausea intensity related to miscarriage rates in areas where access to supplements is not widespread. Surely, vomiting all day and only being able to eat white bread with butter is bad for a foetus? The original paper's abstract doesn't say much about socio-economics. But the relation with cultural diets is really interesting. 1/2

@hafnia ok: why the existence and the diversity in intensity of morning (aka all-day) sickness for pregnant women? How does that make any evolutionary sense???

@thufie hm I get a 502 bad gateway, is that expected?

@thufie oh looks like it's already moved! :)

@dwsage I like the look of it! Good on you for putting something so personal out there.

I've seen a few people talking about #TheNorthFace and #LeoBurnett defacing #Wikipedia to put their own photos on some articles, and I felt disappointed in the company and thought it was a stupid move, but then I watched the video they published about that campaign and now I am _fuming_. What a bunch of assholes: https://adage.com/creativity/work/north-face-top-imagens/2174261
Boycott those two.
