Yeah, its getting absurd by now. Maybe we should help with the rebranding a lil bit… In Polish I prefer to call it exTwitter, but in English I’d hope calling it just “formerly” will catch on.

This is outrageous! I will call all users of our Polish instance “SZMER” to… OK, I might be getting your point.

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiwicz is a popular joke name. Plausible sounding, but, to my surprise, not registered to actually exist. Yet to close to my real name for me to find the video link all that funny, rather than a common expirience even with other Poles.

The what now?
…
FFS… The skate park was thriving. Then a right-wing YouTuber bought it.

Takes a few seconds to find it: https://github.com/thunder-app

But if I understand OPs point correctly Thunder doesn’t seem to do that. As a matter of fact, at least by default, it doesent even compact the same posts.

And yeah, missing out on being able to see comments from multiple threads (hopefully with a noticibly marked community context, so its not lost) is really missing out on the possibilities given by fedi.

If we accept it as a norm there’s nothing more stopping them. You can’t point at one and push him/her out of politics, when it’s a broadly shared assumption they all lie equally. If the cynical position becomes the norm, all trust is obliterated and the society becomes dysfunctional, unable to expect any standards, expectations of positive outcomes. This is to the benefit of the particularly cynical and corrupt in power, it is very much against the society. It also blocks any chances for a self-organised response, as instantly anyone who becomes a leader in any noticeable way, or simply a speaker for any concept or vision is expected to be as corrupt, and so there’s no chance for creating or promoting an alternative.

“Pre-mortem” recording by him and his comrade, with auto generated English subs (understandable, but longish); https://video.echelon.pl/w/ngWvQf2dbC4rmofmnRhEiq

A courageous Extinction Rebellion activist who stopped a freight train carrying 2,500 tonnes of wood pellets to the DRAX power station in Selby, Yorkshire, walked free from court today despite being found guilty of a criminal charge with a maximum two-year jail term.

Everyone wants a cool origin story I guess.

Also we moved from “that looks similar-ish” to analysis of fossiles and their evolution + genetic research.

But I, and thats a fact, know very little about that, and come from times when dinosaurs did not wear any fancy feathers.

Actually… a bridge between XMPP, Matrix and Fedi-based private messages would be interesting.

I highly recommend corruption tour of Budapest organised by activists there. Most of the old town is owned by the gang of this corrupt shit.

The 80’s high tech? Or did they finally deliver something newer?

Just use track titles of Motörhead. Major release could have album titles.

Researchers documented the first North American cetacean case of avian influenza in a Florida dolphin, underscoring the need for further research on this cross-species virus transmission.

The case of a Florida bottlenose dolphin found with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, or HPAIV — a discovery made by University of Florida researchers in collaboration with multiple other agencies and one of the first reports of a constantly growing list of mammals affected by this virus — has been published in Communications Biology.

Any source for that or is it just preemptive cynicism?

I would expect the pirate faction to intervene in EU parliement? Fediverse servers should be such a tiny fraction of overall EU server costs that this should not be a problem at all…

As seen on Red Dwarf.

Its more of a Moscow thing then a Warsaw one.

No idea if this can be secure in any reasonable way, but one way communication based on cheap devices and available frequencies could be quite attractive for activist mass mobilisations, or disaster releasee 🤔

Had the same thought. Being ridden with tungsten balls or just random metal scraps, with normal car roof offering as much protection as a blanket… Chances anyone there survived that are minimal.
