>the man who killed imageboard culture Only thing cripplekike killed was his credibility. Problem with English speaking chans is much deeper than a gay fat furry cripple.
But why? You'd probably be able to learn elixir in a couple of weeks given your familiarity with pleroma's source. Armstrong's Erlang book is an excellent resource.
They tried to get rid of the people that saw things differently. Not even a day passed before everybody started snitching on each other. One of the things that leaked was membership numbers.
> lack of funding. The njp was making half a million a year in donations. And they folded because most of them saw themselves as unironic grifters rather than a political party.
There was a bug with omemo but it was due to me testing it using two tabs in the same browser, which works for unencrypted messages but fails for omemo. And the error message gave no hints as to what was going on. After cleaning the keys it works perfectly.
I do prefer profanity myself but it is very convenient to have a simple web client.
I sort of like converse.js. (supports OMEMO) I host it and I've even got some normie people to use it when they want to send me something privately. It also has an electron release, pretty sure Telegram Desktop is also electron.
Damn I didn't know about these. Latest Telegram censorship I had heard about was them deleting some terrorgram channels years ago. Still, in comparison to what it took for re*dit and shitter cattle to come here, it's gonna take a lot more than what they are currently doing.
If you are talking about ads bringing people to your instance, I'd probably try telegram. Ads and the platform you're gonna put them on are directly related to the people you want to attract.
There are differences even between gay fedi and dark fedi. People around these parts wouldn't tolerate banner ads and would probably change instance/client. On the other hand you could just add the ad to your profile and/or pay popular account to add it to their profiles. I'd think influencer type marketing would work.
>I was not aware telegram did ads though, so I shall take a looksie. Thanks! Telegram itself is not doing ads, but channel operators offering ad services is very widespread. There are even analytics sites specifically made to accommodate this type of usage.
>As for influence type marketing, idk how I feel about that I've never used IG once and I really hate marketing altogether. But it will happen, no matter the political affiliation. Best influencer marketing is done covertly anyway. Look at how easy it was for NJP to grift people on the right.
I don't get this whole obsession with clients. Even the js ones are fine. I think a lot of people just like the discord bloat.
Telegram's success is the result of making the right choices over a very long period of time, slowly bringing whole community ecosystems over. XMPP hasn't been a viable alternative for nearly as long as Telegram has. And as long as Telegram doesn't start abusing its users it'll be difficult for alternatives to become big enough so that network effects kick in. Much like fedi really where it was *chan's/twitter's/reddit's moderators that basically attacked their own users.
>Putin's ear A common misconception about Russian politics is that Putin is the extreme one whereas he is much more centrist than others are. There are very prominent Russian politicians such as Medvedev who are much more extreme than Putin is and quite open about it. There has also been strong public support ever since the 2014 Ukrainian color revolution for an extensive military operation in the Donbas region. I don't think Dugin has any say in any decision making process.
>Any idea anyone has, you can find someone that suggested it. Exactly it's a completely fabricated narrative.
I just don't like Ayan Rand at all, both what she expressed and how she went about realizing it.
>explain Dugin He is constructing a Russian-centric imperial identity, he calls it Eurasianism. He's setting up local organizations about it, writing books about it, giving speeches about it, etc. He mostly talks about Greek culture, Othodox Culture and how Russia is/should be the natural continuation of them, rather than the West which to him is a false embodiment of them. Everything is about framing it in a way that Russia is at the center of it rather than the Russian identity being dependent on the West. Other than that he is very pro-current regime. Probably that's where the supposed Ukraine invasion stuff come from.
>NazBol This categorization can vary from "Nationalists taking tankies into account" to "edgy populism" to "commies appropriating Nazis". Any form of Russian nationalism should accept the positives of the Communist past. This is evident if you notice how certain communist aspects, such as the public works and the Red army, are perceived.
>Dugin on Stalin I don't know where you are getting this from. I have been on and off reading his posts for some years now and never came across something like this. I took a look at wikipedia's source from 2012 about Dugin saying "we are for Stalin and for the Soviet Union" and came up with this: >Question : The patriotic press is read by Soviet patriots and religious patriots, Orthodox Christians, Muslims and others. The introduction of religious lessons drives a wedge into the patriotic camp, and this split becomes very significant, don’t you think? >Alexander Dugin : [...] wanting to unite Soviet and Russian patriots, and every time, at every stage, during one campaign or another, hostile forces manage to separate us on different sides in order to assert their disgusting Russophobic models. This must be stopped, we are for Stalin and for the Soviet Union, but the fact that Orthodoxy is the stronghold of our spiritual identity is clear to any bearer of Soviet or Orthodox identity. And it does makes sense in this context because that's his main position, to construct a Russian national identity, and in order to do so you must take into account the Communist in order to be able to include the part of the population that is still pro-Soviet.
>She seemed like her main idea was "That was terrible...I want exactly the opposite of it." This is a very bad way to think and always leads to failure no matter what your original intentions were.
>and then some stuff that nobody wants to stand by W-which ones? Are you talking about things he said 20 years ago? Ayan Rand was a nutjob from beginning to end. Dugin's positions are not nearly as extreme, especially if viewed in a Russian political context. It's the completely deranged Western politics of the past decades that make Dugin seem somewhat radical.
