It took decades for Germany to fully wash the "Nazi stain" that WWII created for them in the international community, something that only took a few years create.

Who's going to trust an unstable bipolar bully with nukes?

What I find so odd, is that so many Americans don't understand why alliances with countries is more benefits them. Like they don't seem to grasp that defence treaties are also often foundations for free trade agreements, or visa agreements. By literally bullying or threatening them you risk justifying them no longer turning a blind eye to you when you do shitty things, shared intelligence or allowing foreign military bases on their soil. You ironically need them more than they need you.

@iska @kaia The basically the OCD Olympics.

@lina @volpeon the reason a lot of people stick with Discord right now, there aren't really technical, that works consistently well and can handle large groups. It's not the best, but it works.
If you told someone to use IRC, then you also have to give a lot of warnings of things that work as they expect, such having to continuously connect unless using a relay to receive messages.
For many people, that can be a put off if the thing they already use gets them what they want.
Why do you care?

@lina @volpeon like cool their making a client. It's a hobby project and it can serve to at least ease people into irc.

No need to put someone down for making something that you personally wouldn't use.

I'm pinning this to my profile. Feel free to do the same.
