New Russian #propaganda bots spreading #lies and #fakeNews by comments. One as ugly as it's photo for #toodles.

Important: Report them *before* blocking. That's the way the mods can work better on the problem!

ed: This bot uses different instances now, always with the same look and lies!

"L'Alsace a été l'une des régions les plus chaudes d'Europe ce jeudi avec 29,6° C à Strasbourg et 29,7° C à Colmar : villes les plus chaudes d'Europe en ce 1er mai 2025 !"

Yesterday, our region was one of the hottest in Europe. Today we have a typical August day with possible thunderstorms tomorrow, which will then switch back the temperatures to normal.

@LaurensHof As a non-tech person who doesn't understand the whole article: Did I get it right that the update by @dansup helps against this "bug" if Pixelfed admins have done it: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/114215925957179498 ?

There's still so much to do in #education (also of adults!). So much #knowledge get's lost by the dumbing-down machinery of ideology-cultists.

Mrs Sisypha looks at a huge mountain of work and tries to develop a playful #learning concept for a workshop on #biodiversity and cultural/natural heritage. 😓

@fff Hättet ihr büdde büdde einen Link für die Fakten? (Ich bin so eine Superpenible, die nur Posts mit Quellen teilt, sorry).

@Snowshadow Yes, much clearer, thanks!
My post was not intended to be so much a critic of the word "ignorance" than an addition to say it once again that he has an extremely creepy fascist ideology in mind. It starts with the amount of children from "breeding" women, like the old programm 'children for the Führer' under Hitler. That makes my blood run cold.

And I wanted to drop the link, because we can't read "woke" stuff often enough. 💪 ✊

@GreenSkyOverMe

@Snowshadow I don't believe that it's ignorance. It's pure inhumane, fascist, cold-blooded, deliberate eugenics.

Better let's listen to Vivien Jenna Wilson: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/vivian-jenna-wilson-elon-musk-trans-youth

Yesterday I made a test, warned against this account with a hashtag of the name and a certain bird, and promptly got the #scam again. It's the sign that this paragon of a #troll factory or a narcissistic bot tinkerer hopping instances is not reacting randomly. Don't just block it, it's important to #report it so that it finally comes to an end. Don't click the links. If it's #scraping, a joke, or an attack on the Fediverse: a #fediblock would be fine! The phrase pattern could be filtered.

@Remittancegirl Plus what happens in fascist systems: Sadism becomes socially acceptable. From then on, certain jobs attract sadists. They are rewarded. And at some point they start to take action against their own people.

@Maker_of_Things Unfortunately, the thumbnail+description doesn't jump up always, especially when the post has no text.

@Fragglemuppet

Again a compliment for live reporting about #USPol by the Guardian where you can see the whole disaster of Elon's puppet on drugs versus a statesman with reason and responsibility https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/feb/28/volodymyr-zelenskyy-donald-trump-us-minerals-deal-russia-ukraine-live-news#top-of-blog
You can even watch the disaster in video (a study in diplomatic body language).
I hope that other countries wake up about Trump's & Co's blackmailing, fake-reality, and deep craze.
Good that Zelensky didn't sign the mining contract which is pure US colonialism and exploitation.

The photographer Fabian Ritter has spent years documenting the rise of the far-right AfD party and more extreme groups. Now you can watch his photo essay about the dark side of Germany that too many don't want to see: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/feb/21/germany-at-a-crossroads-far-right-afd-photo-essay
If you still need some arguments to vote tomorrow for democracy ...

This day exploded with snowdrops, bees, insects, and the first Red Admirable butterfly (Vanessa atalanta). Since my early childhood, it's my ritual to fill the first seen #flowers after winter into this vase. The snowdrops in our village date from the 1920s. A wonderful scent, the bees are powdered with pollen! If it's too cold, snowdrops are self-pollinators.

Due to too many spam and troll accounts, I have temporarily changed the follower access to manual. This can sometimes take a while.
If you are new in the Fediverse and don't want to be mistaken for a fake account: First, fill out your profile, post something (maybe an introduction), and *then* follow people. More help: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-customise-my-profile-how-do-i-upload-a-profile-banner-how-do-i-verify-my-account/

(To my US followers 🤫 ) I wrote: "Obviously, the immensely rich #diversity of choices offers evolutionary advantages for a wide variety of environments." I'm just writing about #moss sex. 😁 Without Newspeak. 💪

I'm proud to use the so-called "flagged" words ▶️ https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/00aabadd-63c5-4f3d-93a9-e93ebda61377

Yes, my podcast comeback episode will be about #Moss!

@thezenlady For dictatorships, what Google and Apple did (and so many others do) is called ‘anticipatory obedience’.

#coup #obedience #authoritarian #gulf

This US *insert worst swear word* dares to interfere in Germany's internal affairs and elections by calling for democratic parties to support the far right! 🤬
I think this is the beginning of the end of the official German-American friendship. If politicians now say "allies", it will only be diplomatic language: They don't show what they really think. :blobcatknife: The most important politicians rejected the US-fascist's speech today. *insert more cursing*

@dangillmor Does anyone remember Newsweek in December about that famous puppet picture? https://www.newsweek.com/president-musk-photos-show-trump-servant-flood-internet-ai-spending-bill-2004092

The time cover? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/07/media/time-magazine-elon-musk-cover-trump/index.html

And the Guardian calls it a bromance which reminds of the famous kissing Putin image.

But even Musk must have strategists behind him. The rapid, pre-planned destruction of democracy cannot be his doing alone, he is not good enough for such a complex work, and too often on drugs.

@ianb 1/3 I understand your point of view very well, yes, one can see it that way.
My background is perhaps formative: I worked for many years with eyewitnesses of the resistance in the Third Reich and as a political journalist on the neo-Nazi scene in Germany in the 1980s.
What I learnt: right-wing extremists want to eradicate knowledge and criticism. They are happy when we simply shrug them off. Even if it is uncomfortable and hard, we need clear-sighted analyses and fact checks in times like

@ianb The danger behind his way of talking: "In this particular philosophy, “growth” and “technology” have magical problem-solving capabilities, and if we pursue them relentlessly, we will eliminate the need to ask any deeper questions."
More about his fascist ideology of #Accelerationism / #TESCREAL: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2023/10/techno-optimism-is-not-something-you-should-believe-in

It's not "idiocy", it's ice-cold inhumane purpose, intention, and propaganda.
I recommend @timnitGebru and @emilymbender for more infos about these ideologies.
