Vaccines are generally safe and save lives. They work. The ones against COVID-19 do a great job at preventing severe illness and death. The vast majority of deaths, almost all, are amongst unvaccinated people. There are good reasons to doubt governments and especially companies, but these doubts need-to-be valid and tamed, at least to not let them so lose that you end up not doubting facebook/youtube "gurus" and "concerned moms" who tell you what's the deal with COVID.
When you get sick you go to the hospital and trust doctors. Maybe it is time to apply the same mindset and let them protect your from your ignorance when it comes to vaccination. I am sure they know better.

In this episode we will discuss about moderating the fediverse. Is it different from the online moderation in general? Is it even effective? What about the technicality of it?, Our guests are Hypolite Petovan and Michael Vogel, some of the lead devel…
Just a reminder that religion is a pile of primitive ideas:
It is as crazy as flat earthers, qanon, and all of these conspiracies, if not crazier. Unfortunately it is wrapped in a nice package in today's society. But yah, lets not forget that religions are just a bunch of cults, surrounded by crazy people. #tromimg
Just a reminder that insulting other people's beliefs is not nice...
People have different thoughts about where we come from, and religious beliefs can not only help people, but also encourage good, even altruistic lifestyle.
When both sides can never be proven true or false, maybe the way of accepting other people's beliefs is better than this. I think that together we are capable of more than when we seperate us by this. Your atheism is not superior to anyone's theism.
The truth is religion is silly and not real. Yes, we should be nice to each other, but if we are to make fun of flat earthers and the like, then religion should not be on our "exempt" list.
As a species we need to overcome the ignorance,and make most of what we already know.Now as for flatearthers,the space age is on its way.My prediction is that after 50 years or so, everyone would finally understand the curveture of the earth and would start thinking about other planets/lifeforms.Just to be clear,we are still in the information age,that will hopefully remove ignorance and stupidity🙂
A reminder: tomorrow we go live. TROM-cast 67: Moderating the Fediverse.
In this episode we will discuss about moderating the fediverse. Is it different from the online moderation in general? Is it even effective? What about the technicality of it?
Our guests are Hypolite Petovan and Michael Vogel, some of the lead developers of Friendica and instance admins themselves.
NOTE: We have lost the recording of our last podcast. Reason here social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4… And we are so sorry for that. We had a great discussion with social psychologist Sophia Moskalenko about "Qanon, and the like". In this episode we will try to summarize our discussion and the most important points. But we recommend that you follow her work.

Did you know that every week we add a documentary to our videos.trom.tf homepage? Every week a new recommended documentary from VideoNeat that you can stream directly from our platform. Take advantage of that! We just added a new one now. #tromlive
RNLI ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=uJLoOlk17A… a group of volunteers saving lives all around the UK. That's how the vast majority of humans should be: have the time to focus on meaningful work. Let's help each other, improve our society, go explore, categorize, have fun. All we do today tho, is trade. This for that. And "this" or "that" are most of the time useless shit. A crazy trade-race that destroys people's lives, the environment, and kills progress. #tromlive
We launch over 8,000 times a year, but have you ever wondered how we are alerted to those in danger? Here is what happens when you call 999.

SUPPORT OUR LIFESAVING WORK – http://bit.
Next TROM-Cast will be Sunday, August 22, 2021 - 21:00 Madrid time. With @Michael Vogel and @Hypolite Petovan discussing the topic of moderation on the fediverse. We may open up the discussion for everyone to participate after 30min to 1h of the live. We will see. #tromlive
This is what we are going to do to deal with our Peertube instance:
Attention: this instance is solely dedicated to science/technology/nature videos in the English language, and it was so from the beginning. Even the activism/education needs to fall into these categories. Anything else will be removed with a 1 month noticed. Starting next month we will begin the monthly purge of accounts that did not respect our instance's categories. These rules will not be very strict, but users that mostly post pseudoscience, politics, porn, movies, and such, are going to be removed.
It is difficult to say, but the instance is clearly stating that is about science/technology. We can discuss more on our matrix chat at #chat:matrix.trom.tf if you can please join. We do not want to "harm" any user really, and we do not want to be very strict about these rules.
