Alright, two things:

Yep, it seems the www. subdomain is required for that website to work. https://www.nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr

However, even that is blocked on Threads:

Pasting a link to the far-right party's website works perfectly fine. Same for Macron's party's website.

The left coalition's website is the only one that's blocked by Threads.

FWIW, I posted a link to that website on Threads about a week ago, and it worked fine. https://www.threads.net/@nileanedorffer/post/C8Mxi8NIh6b

If they're indeed blocking this URL now, that happened in the last couple of days.

WELP.

Threads just removed my post from last week which had a link to the left coalition's website.
I'm now locked out of my Threads account

What is going on right now???

WTF? Threads is blocking links to the official website of France’s left coalition (Nouveau Front Populaire) in the upcoming snap legislative elections, https://www.nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr

(edit: fixed the link)

Why am I only discovering today that the French postal service allows you to send paper mail via their website? They print it and ship it for you, so to the recipient, it's just regular mail -- and it basically costs just as much as a regular paper stamp.

I wish I had known this a couple of years ago 🥲🥲🥲

Stop telling me to use content warnings. I will lose it. If you’re bothered by my politics, then by all means mute me or one of the hashtags that I’m using.

I know you’re trying to protect yourselves and others, but all you’re effectively doing is asking an activist speaking out for their own survival to hide their fight behind curtains.

Just stop.

As I'm nearing the release of @TangerineUI 2.0 (which will come out soon after Mastodon 4.3 is released), I feel it's a good time to remind everyone that I’ve invested an insane amount of time in creating this theme over the past year.

Sure, it is “just a CSS file,” but it's also the result of hundreds of hours spent carefully crafting a nicer visual experience, free for all to use.

So, if you love this theme and actively use it every day, I would be super grateful if you would consider leaving a tip on my Ko-fi page 💛 https://ko-fi.com/nileane

French political news is such a rollercoaster right now. Macron has obliterated everything and created an insane chaos that we will all have to navigate through during the next three weeks to literally save our lives in the snap elections.

It’s never been so hard to keep going as an activist than right now. So much is at stake. Every single thing that we've been working on for the past few years is up in the air, and by next month, it all could become undone.

The first two episodes of #TheAcolyte have so far left me pretty impressed. I love that they’re taking some risks here. The format, the plot, the characters, and the era are all significant departures, and I will always welcome that for Star Wars.

It definitely paid off for the masterpiece that is Andor, and I’m hopeful that it can for The Acolyte, too. Can’t wait to see where this is headed over the next few episodes.

Fun fact: It took about 22 hours door to door to get from my mom's place on La Réunion island to our place in Grenoble.

Another fun fact: I desperately need some sleep now

• Le gouvernement a décidé de s’opposer très clairement à cette proposition de loi. Et même s’il est toujours difficile de lui faire confiance dans la durée, c’est un bon signe qu’il se soit engagé au moins sur ça.

Cette opposition du gouvernement et de sa majorité, combinée à celle de la gauche, mettrait ce texte en large minorité à l’Assemblée nationale s’il y arrivait.

• Nous aurons bientôt les recommandations mises à jour de la Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS). Nous avons de bonnes raisons de croire, parce que son travail s’est fait avec les associations trans, que ces recommendations seront un grand pas en avant pour la prise en charge des personnes trans dans leur accès aux soins en France.

Et si cela se confirme, alors il sera encore plus difficile pour la droite et l’extrême-droite d’avancer de telles propositions de loi répressives.

• Nous avons fait, ces derniers mois, des avancées énormes pour faire entendre notre revendication principale : le changement de sexe à l’état civil libre et gratuit, et sur simple demande.

Une proposition de loi, co-signée par des élus allant de la gauche à la majorité présidentielle, a été déposée à l’Assemblée nationale. Une majorité pour ce texte est clairement obtenable dans l’hémicycle.

Si nous continuons à le pousser pour qu’il soit adopté cette année, alors nous infligerons un immense revers à la droite réactionnaire.

Militant·es, autant que possible, nous ne devons pas céder à la panique suite à ce vote au Sénat. Il n’est ni représentatif du chemin qu’on a parcouru collectivement, ni une condamnation de notre action future. C’est un point d’étape fort et grave qui doit nous aider à garder le cap.

Plus que jamais, pour lutter contre l’offensive transphobe, nous devons réclamer de nouveaux droits.

Hier soir, le Sénat français a adopté en première lecture une proposition de loi interdisant les soins de transition aux personnes trans mineures. C’est évidemment une nouvelle étape grave dans l’offensive transphobe qui est menée par la droite et l’extrême-droite depuis plus de 4 ans.

Mais il y a aussi des bonnes nouvelles importantes à garder en tête : 🧵

Golden shores

#LaRéunion

I feel the same way about AI that I did about crypto when it started becoming a thing:

• All of the moral practices that make it possible are fucked beyond repair.

• It’s spawning some of the worst companies, and enriching some of the worst billionaires in the world.

• While there are some genuinely useful, practical applications for it, there are so few of them, and they have had so little positive impact so far, that it doesn’t even seem like it’s going to be worth it anytime soon.

The French government has banned TikTok in New Caledonia following pro-independence protests.

When asked about the legality of the measure, it basically replied that since the territory is not subject to the EU’s jurisdiction, it’s perfectly allowed to ban social platforms however it likes.

What in the colonial crap is this bullshit. For fuck’s sake.

Oh. My. God. I can see the aurora borealis outside right now.
