IMO the point of a distributed network isn’t convenience or unbridled free speech, but freedom of choice. Not only are there hundreds of instances to choose from, but anyone can run their own instance however they like, including you. If you host your own then you alone hold the ban button.
I agree. I have lived in hot, humid places without air conditioning. The only solution is to find cool places (in the shade, in a cellar), stay wet, drink lots of water, and avoid physical exertion until the sun goes down.
I am spoiled now. I live in a region with cheap, low-carbon electricity (almost entirely from hydro, nuclear, and wind) and modern infrastructure, so air conditioning is standard practice. I wish the whole world could have the same.
Thank you for volunteering. Whether you post, or how often you post, is entirely up to you. I’m just glad to have a moderator here to keep an eye on things.
I have appointed you as the new moderator. Thanks!
I agree that it would be great for others to pitch in, too. If anyone else volunteers, I am happy to give them mod rights, too. You can also do it yourself now.
Feel free to unpin or delete this post whenever you think it has been up long enough.
