Test post.. finally got around to updating Ktistec!
If you want to stop most of the respiratory illnesses going around (currently and in general):
CLEAN. THE. FUCKING. AIR.
This is unfortunate, IMHO. https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html
The fediverse needs to get right with the fact that by design it has been created to push content beyond the reach and beyond the boundaries of intention by post authors. This was a good actor who approached the problem respectfully and with attempts to address community concerns that had been brought up in the past (and IMHO found good solutions for them.)
These are two core rules in how I live my life, with #2 being something that I recommend to people often, but with #1 being something that I do while feeling that I need to make excuses for pursuing something interesting but possibly useless. It never occurred to me that these two things are related, but @clive makes a compelling argument here that the two go hand-in-glove. https://clivethompson.medium.com/the-power-of-indulging-your-weird-offbeat-obsessions-77c12f10e69f
How do we know Saccharine and Bitrex Fit testing work and that passing a fit test using them means a fit factor of >100? It's validated against particle count fit testing using comparative trials.
Here's a cool history of the development of Bitrex fit testing by 3M, which was created with the brief to be less pleasant than Saccharine qualitative fit testing, but safer than irritant smoke.

@case yep! I'm currently testing a single user implementation that uses SQLite, Ktistec: https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec
I am slowly losing it. I beg, I plead: there is no need to do things like "Elno" and "Eloon" or El*n. Just use "Elon" so that those of us who don't want to see that can have actual, workable filters. There is no full-text search, so using "Elon" will not result in trolls being able to find your post just by putting "Elon" in the search. Mastodon searches only on hashtags This isn't Twitter. #FediTips
