"Money leads to more money
Power to more power
Fear leads to paranoia
Was very nice to know you"

Kia ora koutou, it seems timely to note that mastodon.nz will not be federating with Threads. This is for a number of reasons:

• Deficient moderation policies that are over-reliant on algorithms with inadequate human supervision [1][2][3][4]

• Their policy is to scrape everyone's personal data to feed their ad algorithms

• Their owners have a history of joining > taking over > destroying platforms and we don't want the Fediverse to be taken over and destroyed.

At the blood centre on my 40th donation.

They tell me they're looking for more donors ahead of the Christmas road toll and holiday break.

Do consider donating blood if you can.
