Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**TELL US: How do you feel about Germany's embrace of public nudity?**
By Paul Krantz, 24 Mar, 2026
Germans generally have a rather liberal perspective on nudity, with saunas and beaches among the places where locals like to get naked. Do you find Germany's 'free body culture' liberating or intrusive? Share your thoughts in our reader survey.
We all come to Germany with certain ideas and expectations. Assuming you did just a bit of research before moving to the Bundesrepublik, you might've been prepared to battle a bit of bureaucracy, or to put up with less-than-punctual trains and face a not insignificant language barrier.
But were you prepared for the naked people?
Foreigners who live in Germany tend to learn quite quickly that the country takes a rather liberal approach to nudity. Here, a so-called 'free body culture' (Freikörperkultur - FKK) is celebrated, and not always in private or secluded places.
This is perhaps not so surprising to people coming from some other European countries, but can be quite shocking for the unexpecting American or Brit, or anyone coming from cultures that are less open to letting it all hang out.
From mixed-gender textile-free saunas to FKK beaches, even daily life in Germany is not always for the prude. And that's to say nothing of the nightclubs that encourage adult themes.
Some argue that the German pro-nudity attitude is natural or even healthy -- that it encourages body positivity. But people who can't get used to it are effectively left to learn which places and activities to avoid.
How do you feel about nudity in Germany? Did it surprise you at first? Have you learned to embrace it, or do you avoid saunas and certain beaches?...

Mastodon funciona muy bien con RSS. Yo utilizo un programa en Linux llamado QuiteRSS para estar al día de muchas fuentes RSS. Si consigues entender cómo funciona #Mastodon, creo que también entenderás #RSS. El primer paso sería elegir un lector de RSS. El segundo paso sería copiar y pegar la URL de una fuente RSS en ese lector, y este debería mostrarte las actualizaciones de esa fuente cada vez que haya novedades.

a new-v4.5.8 instance just gave me "Rate-limited, please try again after [specific time, abt 5 mins]" -- this is much more helpful and good-energy-building than the original "oops" which then became a glum "503".

Cheers 👍👍👍 all you people working on this!

**Women brave icy waters topless at Brighton beach for cancer charity**
By Annabel Stock, 22nd March 2026
Dozens of women braved freezing waters topless to highlight the importance of checking breasts.
The event, which took place on March 22 on the nudist breach in Brighton, was hosted by CoppaFeel, a youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity.
Nearly 50 people have already signed up to take part in the event to highlight the importance of checking your chest, and the organisers would love to get more people to join in.
CoppaFeel was founded in 2009 by sisters Maren and Kristin Hallenga, after Kristin was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 23.
The charity is dedicated to promoting early detection of breast cancer by educating young women, primarily those aged 18–30, to check their breasts regularly.
Jo Elliott, from Cambridge, was visiting a friend in Brighton and enjoying a coffee by the beach when they spotted the swimmers.
“I had breast cancer two years ago so seeing this has been really lovely,” she said. “It means a lot; I feel quite emotional actually.”
Katy Carson, from Hastings and Alex Higgs, from Southwick said the swim was “freezing” but “really good”.
“It’s a nice one to kickstart the swimming season and great to see women of all ages, bodies and backgrounds come together for a good cause.”
Katherine Arbery and Katie Cuming, both from Brighton, said the swim was “cold and exhilarating” and it felt “quite liberating” to swim topless.

RE: socialbc.ca/@chris/11630172913

omg.
someone donated the whole $217.60!!! 😿

I've said this a few times, but I think it is worth saying again.

There is something about #Mastodon and the #Fediverse.

People actually donate and contribute here. 😭

Twitter was completely hopeless for this.

THANK YOU 🙏
