@BlackRose I am wondering whether the increase of the AfD together with the actual momentum of extreme right wing parties in other countries can jeopardize the estability of European institutions after the next European elections.

@chaogomu Right:

  • Putin's regime looks weak... to negotiate with a private company to avoid that their attack the capital of the country (a private company, not the NATO, not a bit terror organization) looks not really good.
  • The Russian army doesn't seem to be able to defend the Russian territory from the incursion of an organized armed force (able to occupy in hours a town with more than one million inhabitants)
  • Wagner doesn't look now as a company in which future stakeholders can trust, and trust is the base of the work of contractors.

I think it is embarrassing for everyone involved.

@Mr_Jabroni
Considering the well-known privacy violations and surveillance practices of Meta/Facebook, it's not hard to imagine that one of their future actions, possibly sooner rather than later, would involve cross-referencing accounts in the fediverse with their own platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and others. In Mastodon, users have the option to block instances, ensuring that those instances cannot access their data. However, we don't even have that level of protection here.

@luna I was wondering why the name is weird. Maybe because I am not an English native speaker, but I don't find it not or less weird than lemmy or twitter...

@tchambers We need something similar for kbin.
There are already a lot of instances, but allmost all users are concentrated in just two instances.

@endlessvoid And what is the goal? Now the results after the performance looks like;

  • Putin and the actual regime are weak: armed contractors leave their positions, enter in national territory and occupied a bit town without that the army is able to stop them. At the end and for the first time Putin's regime negotiates publicly with an oppositional illegal armed force inside its territory. Result: the regime show weakness.
  • Wagner as a contractor leaves the places in the line of combat and revolts against their actual employer: Result: Wagner cannot be trusted by future employers.
  • Since Prigozhin is not more in Russia/Ukraine, and it has been exiled, the command chain and control on Wagner is not more stable. At the same time the Russian Army doesn't seem able to take control of it, at least outside of Russia/Ukraine. Which control does now Russia have about the contracts in Syria, Africa, etc?

To be a theater... it doesn't seem to have a goal. Everyone seems here to be a loser: Wagner not more a successful company, Putin not more the head of a strong regime, the Russian army not more able to defend their territory against a armed force (worse, against a private company, not even a country or a terror organization).

For me more than a theater it looks like symptoms of decadence.

@CorInABox
No perhaps. That was all the problem. It was a break of trust by the admins who attended this meeting, and then cannot do a lot to regain the trust since they cannot speak about the subject. Eben is unknown who attended meeting.

That would be ideal, it would be possible to consume meat keeping cruelty free standards. Hopefully it will happen soon.

@bathrobe I don't know about tiktok, but I think that it is the same data that Facebook collects. And the worst is what we have at the end, "Other Data". That means, each moment Meta can decide to collect yet more things without to inform the user.

@Mr_Jabroni they can get data without a context, what is a big problem for the integration. For instance, to coreference accounts in different platforms, they cannot do it based on the name, but they can do it building a graph of interactions and learning from it... just as an example. Of course everyone can do the same, the problem is that Meta has not only the skills and resources, but that it is a substantial part of their business model.
I don't claim that the Anti-Meta pact is a solution, I am far to know how is possible to go ahead with the situation. A first step is that the user should be allow to decide which instances cannot access her/his data, something that in Mastodon is already possible.
An additional problem is that after some representatives of big Mastodon servers took part in a meeting with Meta under NDA, I have a big problem of trust.

@LollerCorleone What I understood was that the moderation was difficult now, due not only to the size of the instances but also with the fact that almost all the people were new and the communities are not stable yet.
Since they have a quite high moderation standard, I guess that now, with few resources and a fast grow, it is difficult to keep it. And this standard is a commitment to the own community, people joint the instance because of it.
Another issue to take in account is that the moderation tools are not enough to handle with the problems of big and heterogeneous social networks. If I understood, in Lemmy and Kbin the only possibilities are to be federated or not, but not something in between like in Mastodon (the silence option).

@shishmish And how they leave their place and arrive to Russia? Russian airports and sky are at the moment under governmental control. And I don't think that Syria will take part on the conflict organizing flights to Wager.
