There is no "signup screen" for "Mastodon." It isn't a centralized platform like Twitter. You choose to follow specific instances or people - and normal people have political views (such as all of the politics in your comment, here.) If you don't want politics, don't follow politics, simple as. Unlike with Twitter, blocking actually works in the fediverse.

But honestly, if seeing one signup form was all it took to send you on a tilt about censorship and radical leftists? Stay on Twitter.

This is what I was referring to in regards to a signup: https://mastodon.social/auth/sign_up

By the way I would hardly characterise myself as being 'on a tilt' in my post, I simply stated that mastodon was x.com but for the other side. Perhaps you are on a tilt and anyone level-headed appears as tilted?

I started an X account recently and the posts they put into my feed were the most intensely negative tweets and imagery I've ever seen interspersed with sports shit I also could not block. It didn't matter how many times I tried to block a certain kind of content another account posting the exact same thing would be in the feed. I didn't want to see basketball, Hitlerism, political tweets or Gaza gore yet that is all I was shown. I deactivated my account and checked out mastodon instead and the signup screen for that was blatantly censorious and would be like using twitter with annoying leftists instead. Where the hell do normal people hang out online to have a chat?

Imagining the kind of stuff swirling around the average twitter/mastodon users head is unreal. There must be radicalism beyond measure just beneath the surface ready to blow for every sort of group all across the world.

Assailants appear to be from Tajikistan, a country on the northern border of Afghanistan.

Pretty interesting. Russia has a virtual 'open borders policy' with the central asian states recently.

Seems more 'Moses-like' than 'Christ-like' to me.

It sounds like he was trying to make a spiraling student in crisis feel better. I think the main issue is he did it in public.

Damn.. That guy in the linked images "anonymous giraffe" is 5'2 student with no job and no money. The image right before that is an Indian guy literally paying people $20 to be introduced to girls.

I would consider treadmills known to exist as early as 4000BC as an early step towards bicycles. Commonly used for grinding wheat or moving water - possibly even cranes. There both gearing and leg power interact - just gotta apply the force to a set of four wheels and you're halfway there.

Any word from the 'Blackcat' group that said they would leak sensitive info at the IPO? They exfiltrated like 80gb of data a year or so ago.

You might check the urban dictionary for such questions.

Perhaps they shouldn't use esoteric abbreviations. YAADH.
