@bobthomson70 This. I just wanted to say that Macron's "fabrication" of the new government against the results of the last elections is not the finest example for an intact democracy. @cstross
What's on your mind, asks Masto. This old cartoon from times when we still could laugh at it (artist of the claymation: Dockisar). Today we know how many filthy hyper-rich people, how many active far-right politicians and people, how many collaborators and enablers are pumping the bellows that will blow out even worse than just farts. Much worse.
@scammo@3sat Statt oder zusätzlich zu all den Petitionen: Das Ganze ist derzeit eine öffentliche Anhörung. Jede/r (!) kann bis spätestens 11.10. ganz direkt eigene Vorschläge und Kritik einreichen: https://rundfunkkommission.rlp.de/rundfunkkommission-der-laender/reformstaatsvertrag Das zählt dann juristisch als Beitrag aus der Öffentlichkeit und wiegt mehr als Klicks auf Petitionsplattformen. Aber es bleiben nur noch wenige Tage bis zur Deadline!
@Flipboard I missed many so much and think this is a good way for media to close at the crap platforms. Just one problem: I see lots of followers but empty accounts, no posts (only the NYT has one post). Why are they empty? Is the federation too fresh?
@bastianallgeier I feel you! Born on the German Rhine bank like you and living on the French side since 35 yrs., Schengen was a deliverance for me. I have been working for binational projects and common understanding for more than 30 years. We had a major setback in bicultural work due to the border closures during the pandemic, and now a new complication is coming from a German government that I would never have believed would jump on the bandwagon of cheap right-wing populism.
@kim_harding So I'm not alone with this impression. For an estimated 3 days, it wasn't just about blocking. I also reported accounts because they were spreading hate, disinformation, and propaganda that reminded me badly of Russian or MAGA provenance, including many climate change deniers. Some accounts were suspended quickly by the moderators.
It's important to report these trolls because in the Fediverse, they can get isolated. Seems to be organised ...
@adiz Pandora's box can not be closed retrospectively. AI pollution can only be tackled with resources on the same scale. Tough global laws would be one possibility. Or a kind of implosion, because the stuff will suffocate on its own ... @jasonkoebler
@randahl The same in whole Europe (the EU-Elections results) and live on Sunday in France at the #Legislatives2024 ...
But it's not only the politicians. It is the democracy-destroying mass #propaganda of the big #socialmedia platforms that works perfectly because nobody is doing anything about it effectively and too many people voluntarily expose themselves to it. The fire of #racism and #fascism is lit by Musk and Zuckerberg, and Putin & Co. It's us to vote for #democracy + human rights!
@BeAware I tell it to everybody here (sorry that I adressed only you, it was a technical bug.) It was also for @gimulnautti . 😉 BTW, it's always possible to explain things to the "general population" without arrogance.
