This is a forum for rationalists. This means that having arguments is useful for engaging in debates. Appeal to authority (especially when you just assert it) is not what rational discussion is about and contacting moderators because you don't like arguments being made won't bring you further.
Being large has even more advantages. The world is much smaller (scientific progress metaphor). More resources needed per person (bigger economy). Everything will be built way more roomy. Can ride polar bears, maybe dinosaurs.
The desire to be smaller doesn't stem from a place of rationality.
It's not clear to what claim you are objecting and what source you have for it. Capitalizing Independent Fact Checkers is interesting because it's a way to admit that we are not talking about independent fact checkers but things that are named that way.
From the Assessment report COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna of the European Medical Agency:
It's no conspiracy theory to assume that facts in the approval documents for vaccines are true.
It seems contradictory to preach enlightenment since you could be working towards enlightenment instead of preaching. Evangelical Christians don't have that issue.
Pascal was right, Christianity is the rational choice, even compared to all other religions.
..if you live infinitely long, but you don't. You need to show that the branching reaches infinity in a finite time. (Or you have a finite set of branches which somehow include something that requires omnipotence...?)
No.
You could use the random number generator to return a sequence of random characters. If they happen to be words that describe a thing you might possibly do, obey them, otherwise generate another sequence.
This removes the burden of having to list all your choices, including the ones about buying pokemons.
(But creates a new problem of what exactly is a meaningful command. For example, "go", without specifying where exactly to go; are you free to simply go to the place of your choice, or do you have to re-roll?)

Your brain can't contain an infinite list or branching diagram of choices, because it's finite. I have no idea why you think such a list us the only alternative to omnipotence. You are not omniscient either, so you can only make choices between the limited amount of ideas your brain can come up with. Why shouldn't an undetermined choice between two things count as free?
Any sufficiently advanced magic, is an absolute pain to replicate with technology (even if it looks very easy).
Take walking for example, or just making a robot that can pour a glass of wine like a normal person.
