#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉

Now Twitter is blocking me from posting a link to Mastodon at all.

Could this guy get any more pathetic?

JFC 😳. The variant is BF. 7. "To put this into context, BF.7 is believed to have an R0, or basic reproduction number, of 10 to 18.6. This means an infected person will transmit the virus to an average of 10 to 18.6 other people. Research has shown omicron has an average R0 of 5.08"

Scheiterhaufen Twitter 

Es ist wirklich gruselig und faszinierend einer Social Platform beim Brennen zuzuschauen.

Twitter will keine Inhalte mehr erlauben, die dafür gedacht sind, auf andere Social-Media-Platformen hinzuweisen.

WTF

The Covid-19 Pandemic is not over. Because so many people have decided to ignore it, it will probably never be over. There are a few things you, everyone should know about Covid-19

1. More people have been hospitalized in 2022, and more people have died in 2022 with Covid-19 infections.

2. Catching Covid does not protect you from catching Covid again.

3. Covid is not a respiratory illness. Covid infects your sinuses, lungs, digestive tract, skin, brain, liver, blood.

4. A "mild" infection is one that does not focus on your lungs. That doesn't mean it's not bad, none of your internal organs have nerve endings that tell you they're hurting. What tells you they're hurting is when they start to fail, and you die.

5. A heart infection, which you will not notice, silently tears your heart apart. Heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and blood clots are likely in a heart infection.

6. Loss of taste/smell (one of the first things about Covid that was considered strange) means it's attacking your brain. Brain damage isn't reversible, the brain can re-route things, restore full or partial function. Whatever was in the part destroyed though? Lost forever

7. Blood infection. If your blood is infected with Covid, it will slowly lose the ability to carry oxygen. You will die gasping for breath, even if your lungs are in great shape.

Saying Covid is over is going to kill people, more each year as we move forward - PUT ON A GOOD FUCKING MASK AND STOP PRETENDING THIS IS OVER, IT'S NOT OVER, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE.

Just an aside, Covid-19 can also cause Erectile Dysfunction in men. Don't want a flaccid, floppy boner for the rest of your life? Don't want dates to laugh at your impotence and move on to someone else? Put on the damned mask.

OH, and then there's Long Covid - Covid infections that attack your brain especially, and leave you with lingering fogginess, confusion, never ending fatigue... Basically a Covid caused version of MS. You're disabled, or partially disabled, for the rest of your life.

My first post on Mastodon - greetings from a middle-aged mom with 2 autistic teenagers who are making their niche in the world. My autistic husband has already made his niche. When am I going to finally get to mine?
