we allowed anti-vaxxers to dictate public safety measures and make their choice our choice.
This is such a disturbing inversion of reality.
What did "anti-vaxxers" do other than eventually be 'permitted' to participate in public life after being designated as second-class citizens in many countries?
If our governments hadn’t caved, we could’ve stopped covid before all the mutations.
It's funny how the issue isn't even masking or particular reforms.
The frustration is that the totalitarian 'emergency' fascism couldn't be maintained (entirely in some places) or indefinitely.

These people genuinely scare me.
People underestimate how little it would take for them to push for other obscene trespasses.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience

@gabriel they think that someone who doesn't wear a mask kills their best friend

If #Palworld proves anything it's that there's a huge market for fun games for people to play with their friends. Hopefully we see a FOSS game get this kind of attention and inspire others.

I don't know about any FOSS game that is profitable in some way or another. Maybe it is time to search for one 🤔

This is 💯 the right energy right now.
I'd word it a bit differently, but that's the spirit.

Don't let them make you forget that people are basically good.

You can't properly satirize what you don't understand.

Prediction:
MSM will join bluesky
Alt-MSM will go full-tilt on nostr
In the long run, The fediverse will be the thunderdome of people who refuse to completely toe-the-line between the previous two camps.
