No source code and no federation just makes this a worse app with less liability for bad actions. Not sure why he’s pushing this before those are ready. Pixelfed itself isn’t exactly finished yet.

Hey Militant Left, just because every question directed at you assumes you are an asshole, doesn’t mean the same applies to questions to other people

… why are you putting an apostrophe in McDole? The O-apostrophe in Irish names is an anglicisation of Ó, eg. Ó Briain becomes O’Brien. Mac Dól would become MacDole/McDole.

As an Irish person, you can’t end terrorism with violence. You just create martyrs to a cause, a cause which looks more and more legitimate the more civilians suffer and die because of said violence. “Kill the rebels” every 20 years did nothing for peace on Ireland for 800 years.

Talking about reunification has been the status quo for 70 years.

I’m sure America will be shocked when eventually it turns out that arming to the teeth one of its occupations beside a neighbor that it hates results in an endless war, I mean that’s only happened like 3 or 4 times, but until this story isnt one that could have been published any time in the last 70 years, no, it isn’t newsworthy.

And? Does “status quo” sound like a weekly news item to you?

I fully understand the situation. I don’t understand how the only thing that unites left and right in America is bring utterly terrified of China to the point where a literal unemotional reading of a statement that accords with both states’ policies is news, and someone saying it isn’t news must be suppressed as a bad actor or something.

If there’s a topic more important to Taiwanese voters than “should we rule China, Tibet and Mongolia”, I’d be interested to know what that is and why we don’t have have constant scare coverage of it blasted at us by American media every day.

What are you even trying to say? “If you need to wait until the post becomes correct, the post is now incorrect” is my point.

Yes as I sit on -125 votes it’s very clear that all voices are heard.

Weird, you’re telling me the elected government aren’t representing the will of the people? What are they, communists?

How is that wrong? And I literally made the distinction in my post if you insist on it.

How is going from two Chinese administrations ruling China to one Chinese administration ruling China anything other than reunification?

At no point was it suggested they want to be part of PRoC.

Both sides want one China. Both sides claim to be the only China. Both sides say this in every official state policy. Just like this one. That’s why this story is literally not news, except where news can be defined as “things published to rile up American military spending”.

“Just 1 or 2 elections until the post you disagreed with might be correct” is the weirdest argument I’ve ever heard

It is quite literally Taiwan’s constitutional vow and the opinion of every government theyve ever elected that they want to be part of China, or rather, are China.

This is not news, both sides have said they want a form of reunification for about 70 years now. But remarkable that you have made up a lovely little narrative for yourself to enjoy from this tired propaganda.

My kids don’t have phones because it is possible to parent your children and also parent other people’s children 👍

Yeah I’ll take parental responsibility advice from a yank when your kids are more likely to reach adult literacy than witness a school shooting

In some countries, parents elect governments

As an Irish person I can say with some experience that what Hamas is doing is not justified but it is pretty much inevitable. And unless Israel are really going to continue their genocide, all they’ve done is perpetuate this inevitability.

This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called “With an egg on top”.

I’m always baffled by how people point out succession as illegal as if it’s expected or common otherwise that bits of a country can break away whenever they feel like it.

Would an independent Texas care if there was never a Republican president of a country they had left? Or would the see it as just rewards for those that those to stay there?
