How many people attended this 'FediForum'? I ask because I'd like to see how representative it is of the community. The last thing the Fediverse needs is another cliché of nerds directing the strategy of a decentralized protocol.

I was on there, but it seems to me to basically full of the neoliberal crowd that left X when Musk took over. Too much snark IMO.

Indeed. I don't use the Internet at all without a VPN connected. These days you can't possibly be blocking people for that reason. There are other ways to find child porn or whatever. Like calling the authorities.

We've got to contact our elected representatives and tell them we don't want them to support 'The Lobby' and/or Israel! They often get financing for election runs from that organization, so are beholden to them, not their electorate in most cases.
