Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.

The social non-profit explains that Mastodon doesn’t track its users, which makes it difficult to enforce such legislation. Nor does it want to use IP address-based blocks, as those would unfairly impact people who were traveling, it says.

If they're coming no matter where Id recommend anyplace that lets you keep a firearm and to stay away from anywhere that doesn't. Unless anyone's come up with a better way to stop fascists in the past 80 years, there's really only one solution. If you don't want to be part of the solution then you may as well stay right where you are and hope someone else does it for you.

Firearms are a double edged sword. Maybe they help, maybe they hurt. But when society turns against you, and no place is safe for you. All the guns in the world even in the face of an unarmed populace won't save you.
