BrainstormNew from Marc Veldhoen on Mastodon: (translated) (news): Why isn't all this data presented? Because it undermines the false claim that PCR tests are very good, and he has made his reputation with this nonsense.

BrainstormNew from Marc Veldhoen on Mastodon: (translated) (news): A vaccine is there to protect you against serious illness, all vaccines. A vaccine also protects against infection and transmission, but that is a reduction in risk that depends on time and virus load.

LjLVyrus, i have it on good authority, an authority that has clearly paid much more attention to this channel than I have, that you are an anti-vax troll19:21
LjLif they are sure of that, I am not entirely sure myself why they don't ban you. They probably have more important things to do, and to be fair, I don't.19:22
LjLHence, have this ban19:22

Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> @room For a long time now, this channel has only had Brainstorm's posts, and on the human side, basically trolls. Actual substantive discussion of COVID-19, or even genuine simple questions, have been absent, as it seems most people don't care anymore. Hence, given it seems ops won't actually deal with the trolls except sometimes by engaging, I have decided to set this channel to moderated[cutoff]19:33
Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> , meaning you can read what Brainstorm posts to keep up to date if you want to, but you won't be able to speak. I will also start a poll (which hopefully works even if the room is moderated) about this decision, the results of which are non-binding, but will let me get a feel for what people think. The poll only works on the Matrix side; on IRC, I'll leave the channel as +mz for a while, s[cutoff]19:33
Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> o that while what you say won't be seen by the channel, I will see it, for the specific purpose of feedback about the poll. I won't engage with other discussion, including COVID discussion; just feedback about this.19:33
Brainstorm(Matrix) <L​jL> But first19:40
LjLNote that ##coronavirus is still available for discussion.,19:42
LjLPoll as posted on Matrix:19:51
LjLDo you strongly feel this room should allow user discussions again, or are you fine with it just providing information via the bot?19:51
LjLIt should definitely allow discussions again19:51
LjLIt should allow discussions but only with active moderation and removal of trolls and bad information19:51
LjLI am happy enough with it just posting new information via the bot19:51
LjL(Also, the Matrix room has been upgraded so it's gone down to 1 user from the previous 323, but they have been notified of the upgrade and they will rejoin if they care to be in there. If they are basically just zombie users, then I guess they won't. In any case, I believe they should be able to respond to the poll as history is public)19:52
