"Mastodon is currently considered *the* alternative to Twitter. SURF [the IT cooperative of Dutch education and research] and Universities of the Netherlands are therefore jointly exploring how a Mastodon environment for education and research in the Netherlands can take shape."

There is a non-manager in their IT dept who can have an instance running by quitting time.

For the record, I disagree with @serge calling you a "Nazi".

In the same way the admin is allowed his speech, Serge is allowed to point out the potential issues with the way he phrased things (phrases do not exist in a vacuum, too). And in the same way, I'm allowed to voice my displeasure with those phrases.

Nothing more happened, nothing less.

"Twitter"? Sounds like the article from 2023?

Also, allow "to remind us of who is who" - wtf are you talking about?

1) weirdly conflating religion of unrelated people with the action of a state
2) not the act of reminding, but the focus of "80 years", i.e. the whole existence, is what I take issue with

When Trump got elected and I've seen what bs they were doing together including the literal double nazi salute, I just deleted it and opened Mastodon. Never looked back. I wish Mastodon would become the sane version of Twitter and now X...

For the record (and for other people reading this):
The part about "80 years" is the one I personally take issue with.
I don't necessarily see the other part about "enabling by the 'reasonable center' and the 'silent majority' in the West" as being an allusion to "Jewish control of the West"; while I also see Serge's point.

On a first glance, I don't seem him listed as admin there; but his affiliation with SURF is obvious.
[Correction: He is listed as admin, I simply didn't see it]

Not statement I condone in the slightest & makes me, once again, cry out "why can't we just have nice things" :/
