@SimonB honestly the UK is a barely functioning state cobbled together through war and oppression.London is the worst. We don't want it.

@malakai yeah and the sad thing is, this sort of strategy is employed in Russia...The West used to be the bastion of open debate and a diversity of opinions!Sadly now there is no broad set of opinions tolerated on this - and as such I fear we are walking into a massive mistake and everybody that knows has either been side-lined, ignored or hounded until they're quiet.

Someone blocked me because I said human's lived for hundreds of thousands of years without money.Can't tell if creationist or otherwise deeply ignorant.Was the context some heated debate? No, it was about our future in space and if we want it to be like Star Trek or some other dystopian sci-fi franchise. š

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. #Sunak can WIN, and defeat the LEFT!Daily Mail conveniently forgets "the left" haven't been in power since 2010 - and then only if you want to accept Gordon Brown was a bit of a #socialist Honestly who do these people think have been in government and in control of the media for the past 13 years?#socialism #ukpolitics #politics #uk #labour #labourparty

Really like some of the UI improvements in #mastodon 4.2.0 - I use the web interface on mobile fyi. Like the new link previews etc.What are some of the improvements you've noticed?

Call me crazy but I'm planning on bringing loads of my web infrastructure, apps and customers back on-prem.Only important stuff will be left in the cloud - reducing the monthly cloud costs by about 80%.Funnily enough the important stuff is all really light-weight, couple of databases, couple of PHP applications and a few mostly static websites.

I'll just quote this. "(FSWC) is deeply disturbed by the Canadian Parliamentās recognition of a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi military unit during the Second World War implicated in the mass murder of Jews and others."https://www.fswc.ca/news/fswc-appalled-by-standing-ovation-in-parliament-for-ukrainian-veteran-who-served-in-nazi-military-unit

@malakai absolutely - and even if he made the 'mistake' , and I can get it that an individual can make a mistake.But for the whole parliament to be so utterly clueless when it comes to history is unbelievable - his introduction alone tells anyone who knows anything about eastern European history all they need to know, to stand up and walk out rather than applause.

Just checked four accounts at random that have a pro-peace, anti-war, or anti-NATO opinion.Out of those four, 2 are hidden and 1 is blocked on mastodon dot social.This is why we need smaller instances. Imagine signing up for Mastodon, joining the biggest server and essentially having moderators curate a mainstream-only political spin on everything.If that sounds fine with you, reminder: It was mainstream opinion that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq were good ideas. š¤¦āāļø

Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against Israeli apartheid.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth in the UK, so what better way to celebrate it than with a quote from #MalcolmX.

@GrumpySkipper there wouldn't be any Jihadi terrorists if Israel hadn't expanded across Palestine and herded the population into ghettos.Ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid are not OK.And people will fight back against it.#freepalestine

More children have died in a single week due to Israeli bombing of Gaza than in almost eighteen months of war in Ukraine.According to UNICEF spokesman James Elder, over 700 children have now died in Gaza.According to the UN, 555 children have died in the Ukraine war.Now remember back and think how western politicians and the media have spoken about both conflicts.Sources:https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/09/ukraine-civilian-casualty-update-24-september-2023https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-news-hamas-war-10-14-23/h_8dea4914b4178c1507b3dabb55c51d33

@stux in terms of suffering though... Israel has killed more kids in a week in Gaza than 18 months of the Ukraine war....Just to put the scale of disaster the Palestinians are now facing into perspective.

Moderators at mastodon dot social really do my head in with their censorship.Spend time convincing people to use Mastodon or the Fediverse in general, they end up on mastodon dot social because it's easy and pushed by official application... And half the accounts I suggest they should follow are blocked or hidden.Not the best look....What are these accounts banned for? Being a bit lefty and antiwar... Oh no.

"The idea that Ukraine might join a Western military alliance would be quite unacceptable to any Russian leader.[It] would threaten Ukraine with a major war. The point is this is a serious strategic threat to Russia, which any Russian leader would have to react to. Thatās well understood."-Noam Chomsky, 2015.#nato #ukraine #russia #natorussiawar #russianatowar #russiaukrainewar #ukrainerussiawar
