And yes, many of them usually come from mastodon.social which is open registration.<br/><br/>Additionally, I know there is some sort of controversy regarding things like <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1d6t8t3jt2ckj8kkqlq5cr375czqr028jsnw6mlcv5mfkue9kaujqsuvdlg" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Gaza Verified</span> (<span class="italic">npub1d6t…vdlg</span>)</a></span> ... I dont wish to add to that. (Like, I have seen people do things that end up causing more problem for the people in Gaza who are genuinely asking for help...all because many of us are suspicious of all the crap going on in the world) 2025-12-05T17:21:21Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs96zsvy0f5vsmjkfpvtcw3ypxz03q38egemnd3pqu4zatlmky7qkczyp3l4qgy3t8a3697fhfjmfjl4vnq5a5vjam2p283huyfpae046faxxvzgm3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsys8j6dpu4u0naw9ur6vdr95kk32we779f32ql3ptxtq64dq3u8wgv4n34s'>nevent1q…n34s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I know that I could not broach the subject past a particular point. When the potential ActivityPub user reacts with &#34;Its too complicated&#34; and shuts the conversation down, there isnt much room to explain the Fedi any further because, the other person has pretty much made up thier mind. <br/><br/>Besides, if I persist and try and do further explanation, I pretty much meet the pre-requisites for people to ignore me. They want Bluesky and thats all that matters to them. 2025-09-13T20:52:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstd4je3zd8p0r6p732tcrxqn47sxkm5axswpa6wfxqqm8jtjjhtkgzyp3l4qgy3t8a3697fhfjmfjl4vnq5a5vjam2p283huyfpae046faxrug53m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspm5e05fpz000wspuy5kj5c3hzfv8qegueundntl2yywwyvpjwwlsgda0tn'>nevent1q…a0tn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have privacy based reasons to not get a Real ID (people can call me paranoid all they want). However, I noticed that my experience trying to get a passport (brand new one, never gotten a passport before) was far easier than my attempt to humor getting a California Real ID based Drivers Liscense.<br/><br/>...and I say this as one of those people who has fallen between the cracks in bureaucracy before. 2025-07-15T21:42:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp9jvtcgdn6any0xjwret3t8v2kt8qzdq6s6t2sqlaynjqqulw5sgzyp3l4qgy3t8a3697fhfjmfjl4vnq5a5vjam2p283huyfpae046faxdrm5hn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz2fetzygr2l0aurxqvpjayezs38unpxr6rmey0uw5sar3dh9ua5s4lfqvm'>nevent1q…fqvm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Big agree. The people who train and supervise customer service agents need to bring thier practices up to date <br/><br/>Everyday, when a phone rings or an email comes in, end-users have to keep diligent about who they talk to and give info to. Its a battle akin to &#34;spy vs spy&#34;. I think I share the sentinent of many others when I say:<br/><br/>&#34;Its now that much harder for legitimate contacts/communicationers to get my attention bc I have to manage my attention, second guess/double check every communication, avoid eagerness, and have my walls up.&#34; 2025-07-13T14:06:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqdz2s9t5gg5mcezk86a2qldlwac38cetgf4kyvzd7py7shmyj50czyp3l4qgy3t8a3697fhfjmfjl4vnq5a5vjam2p283huyfpae046faxn25wvz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0rvu3surrlrp8d872hgah5sayfwp0hfer8m0satjadvnpvcq4whqra5zfj'>nevent1q…5zfj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I love sunflowers!

In fact, the idea that the AP specific software will make a difference re: the racism and privileged jerks...it&#39;s very similar to the idea the privileged folks will make to marginalized people: &#34;...just choose another instance&#34;, &#34;You need to use the tools&#34;<br/><br/>Notice in these arguments how it puts the onus back onto the marginalized voice. Telling marginalized voices to choose another instsnce or that maybe they should try this or that...it makes no attempt to address the core issue of racism and privileged bullshit in the Fddiverse. 2024-09-01T15:48:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp6c3myvcd9sgg0d2cr5mh35n69xam0nah6tg6f3lusfrc7ehmz2qzyp3l4qgy3t8a3697fhfjmfjl4vnq5a5vjam2p283huyfpae046faxv65d2t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs93g20ggete7sm7yzkadlugr6lvw2a4rfc9dg0s80v5ukr0fspllqn7uuj0'>nevent1q…uuj0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah. I tried to bring this to the attention of the clinic here to see of I should get those child hood vaccines (I was worried aboit the increase of measles cases and polio, so this had me asking)<br/><br/>I got as far as the titers test being done l, where they confirmed that I didn&#39;t have any immunity on any of it. But then I didn&#39;t go father bc I needed 700+ dollars (and didn&#39;t have a job at that time) <br/><br/>...<br/>Years and years later, I am now on Kaiser ins. I had to start the ask all over again but my PCP didn&#39;t make any motion towards addressing it.
