Almost no CoViD-19 cases in New Zealand. Yet their hospital emergency departments are beyond capacity and overflowing. At some point you have to ask yourself: are the hysterical fears over "protecting the NHS" or "preventing the collapse of the medical system" really due to coronavirus, or the incompetency of central planners at rationing and allocating sufficient resources?

Cancer is a horrible example, since it's not contagious.
Replace for any contagious illness and the point stands though.

Simply said, the lesson from Discord and Reddit is obvious. You cannot get rid of moral puritans. And they will lie/bribe/sweettalk as much as it takes to get the power to ban people.

So, that is inevitable. But the mere existance of healthy servers is an achievement worth celebrating. Looking at blocking as a problem seems seriously negative considering that 99 percent of internet is incapable of the state fediverse is in now.

So, there is a huge blocking trend, but I cannot say, I see it as a problem.

Yes, the dream of 1 fediverse is dead, but sub-communities using 1 technology to create several networks? I still think that is worth it...

I would say to call CPA, but I still trust a drunken with power bully parents then I trust the government...

@furgar
The problem with data is, that unless you see something you do not expect, you have no reason to question it. And the covid numbers are now manipulated to such an extend, that even a realy smart people will see exactly the numbers they do expect from the media reporting...
