oh nice, I’ll start posting on there at some point

Oh they give 20 gigs of space, I made a tankietube account after but already started posting on this instance so just kept going with it.

Again, it’s very clear that it’s not fascism that the government takes issue with.

Oh hey, weird how this wasn’t a problem until Georgescu started running. He was in Romanian politics and even in the government for a long time last I checked, so clearly Romanian regime didn’t have a problem with fascist groups before. And all of a sudden they started caring when it became convenient for them. Seems to me that it’s not fascism that’s the problem for them.

I love how you’re getting downvoted for stating factual information that’s been reported in mainstream western media https://www.politico.eu/article/investigation-ties-romanian-liberals-tiktok-campaign-pro-russia-candidate-calin-georgescu/

I find I like to follow what analysts like Ben Norton report to get some context around the news. I evaluate whom I pay attention to based on their track record, and how well their predictions align with the way things actually developed.

I believe the term for this is manifesting.

see there’s a continuation of Biden’s policies after all

And I don’t see that as a problem. I don’t think Fediverse needs to be fully connected the way a centralized platform is. The fact that different instances can choose whom they federate with is a feature not a bug. Fediverse favors creating smaller communities that are more personal, instead of just being one giant cesspool. It’s a different way to interact with people.

The whole point of ActivityPub is that you don’t need multiple accounts on different servers. You can use your Lemmy account to talk to people on Mastodon, browse PixelFed, watch PeerTube. Yes, there is sometimes lag in content propagating, and so on, but it’s clearly not a show stopper. My experience using Lemmy and Mastodon is the opposite of terrible.

It’s no more confusing than using email, and everybody managed to figure that out. You don’t need to know how the nitty gritty of it works. The network effects is a far bigger issue, as you point out, centralized platforms simply have far more content on them.

The territory Russia occupies has been trying to separate from Ukraine for the past 8 years now, there isn’t going to be any insurgency there.

Are the AuThoriTariAn DicTatoRs in the room with your now?

Sounds like something that would happen in burgerland.
