@Billy Somehow, Iran wasn’t worried about escalation, hmm…
Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu’ ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu’ știe cum au ajuns…

@[email protected] Omg, I can’t believe Dillo is still alive! I’m following you rn 😁
Btw, is there also a way to sync the bookmarks to Nextcloud? I am currently on Firefox and I am using Floccus for this.
@Powderhorn These have been the norm in my country already for quite a while FWIW, haven’t tested if they change these prices often or not however.
@0x815 as the saying goes in my country: The bowed head - the sword won’t cut it.
@0x815 Madlads.
@0x815 as a fun fact (probably losely related to this but anyway), this is the modern version of what the (former) Kingdom of Hungary did in medieval times with the Szekely and the German speaking minorities in Transylvania (in today’s counties of Covasna and Harghita) - only that they also recruited these people into the army.
Fast forward to today, this is why we have a substantial minority of Hungarians in the geographical middle of the country.
@alyaza That will be a lot of useless personal data that their government already has, since everyone can be an influencer of some sort.
@tardigrada It sure was a successful campaign after all that goalpost moving that Putler did ever since the invasion began.
I really don’t think that your city is reduced to ruins or whatever…
@LaFinlandia Seeing the war get home feels a bit different, it seems, doesn’t it, Ivan?
@CasualTee I think both models (i.e. allowlist/blocklist) have their own perks and drawbacks and are all necessary for a healthy and enjoyable internet.
The reason why this is the way it is, I think, is that most of us are both in a minority and a majority at the same time. Take for example me: I am a cis white Romanian, just like the majority of the people in my country. I do however tend to hold some more progressive views, which puts me in a smaller group (e.g. I do think that LGBTQIA+ folks should be allowed to marry each other and adopt children). I do support Ukraine and hope it wins the war, which is what most people do, and I also believe climate change is real, and that it affects our daily lives (you might find that surprisingly maybe that I call myself having a majority view like this, but most people like me are old enough to remember the snowy winters pre-2015). Yet I am totally decided to spend as much of my life possible without owning a car, and trying to do all sorts of things to be more eco-friendly. I am also an atheist, which, it seems, is not so much of a majority view, as most of the people declare themselves Orthodox (and many more are believers in a different religion - Muslims, Greek/Roman Catholics, Judaists etc.) - and the list goes on and on.
I am sure many of you find yourselves in a similar position, and again, that’s okay. You don’t have to fight against the wind if you don’t have a reason to.
What the Fediverse tried, however, was to take the control of social media from the hands of the few, and put it in the hands of the many - and it is partly succeeding - it’s just a much better way of managing the online social interactions, free of any censorship that would go against our views (and Beehaw is no exception, congrats, team! 😁).
Now that people are fleeing to the Fediverse, we’re just gathering our tribe - and this is a natural phenomenon. You’ll never talk and interact with anybody on this planet during your life, not even in your country or even your city if it’s large enough. But you might have friends that have friends that talk to certain people or others, and so on. You might also agree to communicate with any of these people at some point, or maybe the way they view things is just too different from yours that you might choose not to see these people ever again.
Even back on Facebook I found some people that I was (and still am to this day) dead sure that they outright blocked me, even without doing anything bad. And I also blocked others myself.
So yeah, the Fediverse is more representative of life as a whole. And that’s a great thing.
Not on Lemmy nor on Mastodon, if I trust the recent communications around moderation and instance blocking.
GoToSocial, to my knowledge, does have an allowlist mode btw.
And Hubzilla uses a different protocol, that allows for Nomadic Identity. Not sure if this will have any type of impact on moderation, however.
wtf? why don’t they allow this? after all it is a matter of life and death!
@theangriestbird he probably showed him the sanctions are in fact working.
This is 2024 Russia. Actual reporting counts as espionage, while propaganda reporting is considered fine journalism
@delirious_owl not really private, but rather a music festival. It’s a large gathering so the police and the ambulances are on duty to make sure everything is going alright.
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition Philippines soldiers.
There is none, indeed, but the mentalities change hard. And we are also struggling with issues that you have already dealt with long ago, such as corruption or trains that go slower than snails.
@tardigrada I hope the fucker in Kremlin will leave us as soon as possible. It just all feels like a bad dream that you can’t believe it’s real…
