They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.
Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I’m sure the leftypol commies are already here.
If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.
You are cooked. I’m pretty sure people can look back on a time where they had rights even if it was far from perfect and compare it to today when they had less rights and call that liberty. Youre stuck on this internal police thing as if women aren’t beaten to death by police for not wearing a hat.
Firstly that proves absolutely nothing since they still have the exact same thing as well as open morality police that go around beating women.
But im not trying to make the point that the next admin will be better because the us put them there. I’m saying that regime change is an opportunity for change.
It could be a path to improvement it could make things worse we dont know it all depends on who gets into power. Regime change is weakening the party in power so a minority group can seize power.
Knowing trump, this will go incredibility poorly but just because he is an idiot and fucked it up doesnt mean it wasn’t the right play at the time. If he didnt pull out of the nuclear deal and didnt attack Iran I wouldnt be sitting here thinking regime change is the best realistic option to off ramp regional tensions.
Liberty is a broad concept and can definitely apply here. Do you think women feel like there is less oppression now?
Are you trying to make the case that things are better now than prior to the Islamic revolution?
No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.
I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.
They’re transferring ownership of the project to the independent production company that produced it so it may still see the light of day.
Regime change is supporting a group inside the country to take power from the entrenched group. There is no reason that it would inherently fail. The current regime is young and deeply unpopular. All throughout history it occurs and succeeds.
When you have a pariah state like Iran, having a change of regime can give them a path back into the world community. The people in Iran are old enough to remember a time before the current regime and the liberty they enjoyed.
The situation is already proxy wars. If regime change leads to proxy wars nothing has changed. If it leads to an end to proxy wars then its good.
Ive seen people in Iran saying the opposite. Probably the reason ive heard it is because its amplified by pro western media but still.
These irainian people are saying that they’re optimistic about the future and they are confident that Iranians will be able to adapt to the changing circumstances and the freedom from of the current government.
It doesnt seem like people are rallying to the side of the already unpopular Iranian government.
This may be a dumb question.
Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.
Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.
Ok so just attack them again?
Why do you act like it was aliens coming from space? It was just humans doing what they’ve always done. Do you think they didnt know what war was? They had been warring for millennia with other people from Europe, Asia and Africa.
Trump is a massive isreal simp
Fair, there is no reason not to.
Yeah this will do absolutely nothing.
Its already maximally bad. Both sides have been doing everything in their power to destroy the other. From isreal it looked like they weren’t doing anything to Iran directly but we can see now they were setting up for this operation for the past 4 years at least. So yeah it can’t any worse unless isreal uses its nukes, Iran develops and uses a nuke or another major power joins the fray which are all very unlikely (us is already involved another major power would be russia, China, India, Pakistan)
I think this can lead to a good outcome. If Iran has a democratic election and elects a leader who isnt a religious extremist they can liberalise. If that happens isreal would also need to make massive concessions and chill the fuck out. The end needs to be a Palestinian state.
What do you mean would? They already contribute massively to destabilising the region. They dont just attack isreal either.
It doesnt mean anything but its good to get these kind of practices while Lemmy is still small. It seems the.migration process has come along way since 2 years ago.
Hopefully one day we can copy and pay entire threads and comments into the new community or have 100% transfer.
