these are almost mandatory at this point.

@craigmaloney @atomicpoet

he's been posting super-arrogant shit about how jack's latest scam will eat mastodon's lunch for ages over on @gruber, so i don't think the guy gives a monkey's ass.

all he cares about is that, as per yoozh, he's with the in-crowd inside his little tent full of other specially-selected apple users -- aka willingly self-identifying proven marks.

shitting on masto is just part of his schtick at this point.

@atomicpoet whatever causes new tab opening for you, then.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

this is not a bug.

if you shift-click to open the link in a new tab, it loads up venera just fine.

if you just click the link, it shows that profile within the mastodon.social framework. that's all

@mercedesallen @onepict for the longest time Orban’s Fidesz Party was in the EPP - the European Peoples’ Party, the “Christian Democrat” fraction in the EuroParl.

the EPP variously blocked, dissimulated, and prevented any and all criticism of Fidesz, usually supported strongly by Merkel. nothing they did - the courts reforms, the media ownership, the Soros bullshit - was allowed to interfere with the EPP support for their member.

by the time he ordered his MEPs to leave the EPP in 2021 it was far too late, Hungary was an actual fascist state. note that they were never kicked out of the EPP, they left.

@evan tuppence a bag?
