“But I thought COVID was over because the president said so?!!!?”
Millennial
As the instance’s owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, [email protected] and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli’s status.
Why wouldn’t I? We are living in interesting times.
It definitely has to be summer. Around that time I feel very social.
It’s pretty concerning, as health authorities in the USA don’t seem to do enough to prevent the situation from getting worse. The dairy industry doesn’t want its profits to be touched, and several politicians seem to be more concerned about the economic impacts. Various far-right groups basically created the framework for their anti-science actions with the COVID pandemic and various anti-vaxx groups that existed before it. Therefore they will double down in their efforts to resist any kinds of mitigation efforts because of “freedom” and “do not comply”. Hell, many of them are buying raw milk in hopes of “gaining immunity” and of course “owning the libs”!
It could be said that I am already preparing. When at work, doing groceries, hitting the gym and so on, I am wearing an FFP2 mask (equivalent to N95). This is exceptional here in Finland, where many people have drunk the Kool-Aid of “COVID being over” fed by the THL, our equivalent to your CDC. The only people I have seen masking actively are people collecting bottles from streets and parks! The THL has done similar blunders about public health messaging and “studies”.
I am not losing my night’s sleep because of this, but who knows what happens in the coming months?
“Yeah but this is totes different thing!!!?!?!”
Amen, Sopuli wouldn’t federate with such instance either. It would introduce too much problems. Bad idea.
In case of 4chan it’s obviously other anonymous imageboards. There doesn’t seem to functionality in Lemmy that would allow for posting without accounts.
This Tumblr page listing nostalgic designs, they are also on Mastodon.
Yes I had. DuckDuckGo was crippled as Bing was down today.
“Medical freedom”, the rallying cry for all kinds of grifters spreading disinformation and wanting to roll back the progress made in public health.
Based on classification? Taken from a Wikipedia article concerning lemmings.
Looks like something that should be tagged as NSFW.
My comment was meant as a reference related to that quote by Biden, who also now claims to have ended the pandemic. This is a rather bold claim, considering how the WHO has said that the pandemic isn’t over, and one country can’t end a pandemic when it’s global by definition. Also, when looking at cumulative COVID deaths by administration, there has been now more under Biden than Trump.
