Are any US news outlets talking about the fact a 15 year old was working at Trump’s adult spa in the first place?

Yep, it seems very well put together - I’ve chatted with the dev briefly and they seem very aware of the fedi side of things and how different services can interoperate.

Give Fedica a try - they have a very generous free tier which includes both Mastodon and Bluesky.

Dunno if ‘they’ do, but I do. You baby.

The OSA is nothing to do with kids or parenting and everything to do with further developing surveillance of the UK and controlling what we can access.

I guarantee you, at some point after this will come prohibiting content deemed terrorism such as mentions of the word ‘palestine’ and ‘action’ in the same paragraph for example.

Sooner or later we’ll have our own pseudo or real great firewall. I expect them to come after VPN use at some point too.

“Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind - except for Hulk Hogan” - John Donne, probably.

No, it happened in the early 80s so bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Budgie, Saxon etc

You can tell them about The Royal Standard which dates back to 1086 and is in the Doomsday Book or Ye Olde Fighting Cocks which is dated to 793.

My own take on it is that growth is not very important in terms of how a network develops. The only truly successful growth is that which happens completely organically. Worrying about why one service has ‘stopped’ growing is pointless. Those who are unhappy jump ship - those who remain are likely people who are never going to and/or bots or influencers who aren’t interested in being part of a community just finding a way to exploit it.

I would propose so-called ‘smaller’ networks (such as the fediverse) concentrate on quality not quantity. That has the duel benefit of making the experience for current users even better and makes the network attractive to those who are outside looking in.
