I have no nuance to add. Fuck technofascism.

It's a tip of the iceberg. Similar situations exist in English Wikipedia.

Shell is in the business of distorting Wikipedia.

WOAH!

Going hard against "ban evaders", especially if their offenses that lead to the ban(s) are minor in nature, is ridiculous and shortsighted. People *can* learn and reform. This is like the Weimar Article 48 which in this case, will eventually lead to technofascism whether we like it or not. Ban their behavior(s), not their person(s)!

Is there an equivalent of #swtwt in Mastodon?!

Don't be afraid to fork Wikipedia if the WMF management still continues to double down!

Oh my goodness. There should be a containment and even rollback policy against CCP.

Too bad that Big Tech stooge Suzan DelBene won the WA-1 Democratic primary instead of Hunter Gordon.

There may be a case to finally enact a five years pause on AI?!

My moots are warning that X accounts which speak out for Wang Wang are getting suspended. But in the EU you have an advantage. When they suspend your account DYK you can actually file a complaint to the dispute settlement bodies under the EU Digital Services Act? This can help generate a Streisand Effect which can annoy the CCP.

"I have some new issues with managing the actual content of the wiki. But I've lost the motivation to report them. Or even care about them. I don't like to drop balls. I've struggled to juggle them all, and keeping many tabs open at once to keep from losing them. Been thinking on this for a few days. I've come to the point where I'm going to close up everything I've been working on for now. There's only so much you can do all by yourself. Maybe I've reached my limit."

There's a ruminating movement in Persian X spaces to call for anti-Russian and anti-CCP waves, because of the Caspian Deal that's gonna effectively sell out their country.

**Extreme trigger warning**: A pro-Ruzzian troll had spammed my DMs with dead Ukrainian soldiers photos recently. He had done the same to many other members of the Wolfren Nation, the Star Wars group I'm in. They've been reported to mods of the main Star Wars server since that's the only one which me and them share a mutual server. Just for reference their Discord ID is 1379582892304498818. As a response I'll be playing with Gdebenz later today.
