I mean if you recognise friendica domain names, yeah, but most folks don't

[-] ada 3 points 4 days ago

You wouldn't know them if you did see them. They look like any other account

Yes to both, thought only a couple of times each...

Friendica is part of the fediverse and can talk to mastodon, lemmy etc. Plenty of users out there

I can’t respect someone i don’t understand

Yes you can. Respect of identity isn't contingent on understanding. You can ask for information to help you understand, but you can't demand understanding before granting respect. If you don't believe someone's identity to be authentic, then don't interact with them rather than normalising invalidation.

Damnit, I just realised this and came back to say it, only to be 30 seconds too late :)

Exactly what I wanted to say, but was hoping someone else would say for me :P

Because stirring up hate against vulnerable minorities, by positioning them as a threat is a well tested and effective technique for the power hungry to gain and retain power. And it's effective, because it works by pulling people in and making all of the conversation about whether or not it's right to hate on the group they're targeting.

Nicolás Mihanovich, an abandoned cruise ship sits moored on the bank of Rio Iguazú, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, at the apex of the borders between Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil.

It was originally designed as a luxury ferry between Argentina and Uruguay, but plans were made to turn it in to a floating Casino. The plans stalled, and now the ship sits, largely abandoned

Images are working again! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Kaity has been working away for hours, and had to recompile ImageMagick from scratch to get things work, but now, they're working!

As a bonus, you should be able to upload a wider variety of image formats now.

And as an extra bonus, here is a photo of a random Australian Water Dragon we encountered last weekend!

Just be to clear, the state of the union post was an explanation of coming downtime, not a call for panic :)

We've got the solution and way forward for these issues.

You don't have to move if your main concerns are impact on our resources.
