Proof of Concept?
Moving to the right failed big in the last election, so the Democratic party has decided to move even farther to the right.
America is where it is because Americans are stupid.
France showed the way to defeat the far-right: move to the left, so we can only conclude that Democrats are deliberately trying to lose.

Incredible statement from the American Meteorological Organization. It takes a lot for a scientific organization to issue a statement like this:
"U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk due to the recent and ongoing reductions in U.S. federal science capabilities. The consequences to the American people will be large and wide-ranging, including increased vulnerability to hazardous weather...Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm and have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, and the United Statesโ global leadership."

Mastodon has a serious spam problem which challenges my use of this platform.
Every day a person is creating new spam accounts to pollute the replies to my posts with Kremlin propaganda. Then when I block these accounts, the person creates new accounts and continues.
It is 13:00 and I have taken down 4 accounts already, and now more will be created.
@Gargron @renchap it is a pattern:
1. Random account created
2. Hits follow on my account
3. Replies with propaganda
4. Is blocked.
5. GOTO 1
thank you. I have now set it to "filter".
I really wish, Mastodon took advantage of their pattern of following the same political accounts, because I do not think this is normal behavior.
I reckon, normal accounts discover accounts to follow organically. But this spammer creates his account, then immediately hits follow on my account and a few others.
While that is a short-term solution, the rest of us will still see these comments and they have the potential to derail conversation or scare people off.
I hope it's possible to implement some sort of check on account behavior, maybe auto-flagging them for admins. If they display behaviour which isn't human-like and are not marked as a bot account, perhaps.
Just brainstorming here, but it might be worth looking into as mastodon continues to grow.
Easy to automate.
