Should I switch the server as my admin is blocking @spacex (the whole server) ?

Just regarding the above poll, especially for those who still use #whatsapp : "Anyone who has ever sent an #SMS or #email wonโ€™t have considered for a second what network, service provider or messaging client their intended recipient used" https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/30/inside-matrix-the-protocol-that-might-finally-make-messaging-apps-interoperable/?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFsDES0uNgy415WIuC-sf6Iu1AVje98Ds3fB9_LCCgkjCnhALSZMy44PeSAs28RbgbMpJSV70tAh2HVFges7ctdo0FWA7xrSNCw-xYjDw_IyYm3L13qT2mI33eC5bV7Et1Hm6n8xQZQ1sszCgeWfl1xX2-IyEWrRMXXb-ND4yp04&_guc_consent_skip=1706835135

@SallyStrange well there are about a dozen "old milk" things I really appreciate, they are called "cheese". And it would be interesting to see a statistic how Elon's private flights outhweigh his influence on electric vehicles. Please share ๐Ÿ”—

@edwinhorneij no worries, what was your intention ? (the vote is anyway just to say "it's completely dorky to weigh anything just on Elon"). The whole page is thought to make people think ๐Ÿค”. Seems to be worth it in your case ๐Ÿ˜€

@edwinhorneij most likely, I assume. Checked with my app (I seldom use it), looks like this. But it's probably not comparable with yours https://open-store.io/app/nl.btr.mastodon

@pennypenguin "#knowledge is prerequisite to survival" (#CarlSagan) https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cosmos The question is whether a #catastrophic event is the prerequisite for #awareness. Might also be something else https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_event#Frequency_and_risk

@pennypenguin yeah, "hasn't seen yet" is a good point "The bad news is #NASA estimates that it tracks only about 40 percent of the #asteroids large enough that they could cause calamity if they were to hit Earth." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/24/nasa-asteroid-telescope/ (similar to the #ESA numbers)

@pennypenguin that's not generally a technical issue (in terms of telescope resolution), they just don't got the capacity (yet) to scan everything in every direction. That's why they're often first found by hobby astronomers. Additionally, small faint objects are more difficult to track (if there's not an "automated" high resolution sky scanner for every angle)
