Signatories say that their web presence should be established on Mastodon and other Fediverse servers, because decentralized design is "much more compatible with the rules of democratic and sustainable cooperation."

The ‘Fediverse’ provides tools and technologies that are ideally suited to bring scholarly societies out of their digital caves and into the 21st century.

All were sentenced to 12 months conditional discharge with costs of up to £500. However, it was the views of District Judge Wilkinson, in sentencing them, that caught the news. “It is abundantly clear that you are all good people,” he said. “It’s unarguable that man-made global warming is real and we are facing a climate crisis.
