I saw something similar as a kid in the 80s. I was in bed and turned around so my feet were against the window so I could look out at the stars. An object, brighter than the stars, was moving downward. It then stopped, shot across the sky, went up, back left, then abruptly rocketed to the right - east (thinking about it now).
I woke up my parents, but they told me to go back to bed.
This obviously preceded the advent of drones and was too fast and high to be a helicopter. I lived in St Pete, FL, which is across the water from MacDill Airforce Base. It's possible that it was military, but how could anything from that era do this?
Self hosting? I just grabbed Element X Matrix client from F-Droid. I run a TrueNAS setup at home. I like this idea and will be researching it over the next few days.
That's exactly my point, yet lemmy dogpiles are ridiculous. As I mentioned in my edit, there's no chain of custody on this sample. No evidence it was tested before exposure. Just "MIGHT BE ALIEN LIFE!"
That last paragraph about "might be alien" is why I hate some science journalism.
For you downvoters: they don't mention the chain of custody. Speculation that these were of alien origin is plainly bad science. Downvote all you like, but the author jumped the shark for sensationalization.
Signal is my preference. I am not going to go around proselytizing to people about it, though. I typically respond and use text as readily. It's not my job change people. I just change what I'm willing to say openly on any other platform.
I mean, it's not like Biden wasn't Natanyahu's bitch either. Kamala failed to take a stance against the atrocities during her campaign. Trump all but opening the door in his first term for Russian expansion into Ukraine. Obama with a milquetoast response to Russia invading Crimea. Bush listening to Netanyahu on invading Iraq. Clinton with Bosnia...

I'm 48. I still think about this.
