Holy shit. Fuck #Reddit and fuck Reddit mods.

Made a post about the upcoming OSM #Mumbai mapping party in r/Mumbai - mods delete the post within minutes.

Sent them a DM asking why it was deleted, since it was not in contravention of any of their rules - no response in like 12 hours. I assume they just don’t want to reply.

Agi: Dalle toffee 'Melody' al tormentone social 'Melodi'

AGI - Non solo diplomazia, infrastrutture e dossier strategici. Nella visita di Narendra Modi a Roma c'è stato spazio anche per un piccolo gesto dal forte valore simbolico: il premier indiano ha regalato a Giorgia Meloni una confezione di Melody Toffee, una delle caramelle più popolari dell'India. La presidente del Consiglio ha condiviso sui social il momento dello scambio, definendo il dolce "very, very good", mentre i media indiani hanno subito letto il gesto come un richiamo ironico al tormentone "Melodi", fusione dei cognomi Meloni e Modi diventata virale sui social indiani.
Le Melody non sono però un semplice dolcetto. Toffee al caramello con ripieno al cioccolato prodotte da Parle, storico marchio indiano di biscotti e confetteria, sono per il Paese asiatico quello che per noi potrebbero essere i baci Perugina o i gianduiotti Caffarel.
Il loro slogan più celebre, "Melody itni chocolaty kyun hai?", cioè "perché Melody è cosi' cioccolatosa?", è entrato da anni nell'immaginario pubblicitario del Paese.
Il valore del regalo sta anche nella storia del marchio. Parle nasce a Mumbai, nel quartiere di Vile Parle, negli anni Venti, in un contesto legato al movimento swadeshi, cioè alla promozione della produzione indiana contro la dipendenza dai prodotti stranieri. L'azienda fu fondata per competere con la confetteria europea e divenne nel tempo sinonimo di dolci dal gusto marcatamente indiano, con prodotti come Kismi, Poppins, Mango Bite, Rola Cola e appunto Melody.
Per questo la confezione consegnata a Meloni può essere letta come un oggetto di soft power, un frammento di cultura popolare riconoscibile da milioni di indiani.

From the toffee ‘Melody’ to the social hit ‘Melodi’

AGI - Not just diplomacy, infrastructure, and strategic dossiers. Narendra Modi’s visit to Rome also included space for a small gesture of strong symbolic value: the Indian Prime Minister gifted Giorgia Meloni a package of Melody Toffee, one of the most popular candies in India. The Prime Minister shared the moment of exchange on social media, calling the sweet “very, very good,” while Indian media immediately interpreted the gesture as an ironic reference to the catchphrase “Melodi,” a fusion of the surnames Meloni and Modi that had gone viral on Indian social media.

Melody Toffee are not just a simple candy. Caramel-filled chocolate toffee produced by Parle, a historic Indian biscuit and confectionery brand, are for the Asian country what Italian Baci Perugina or Caffarel Gianduiotti might be for us.

Their most famous slogan, “Melody itni chocolaty kyun hai?”, meaning “Why is Melody so chocolaty?”, has been part of the country’s advertising imagery for years.

The value of the gift also lies in the history of the brand. Parle was founded in Mumbai, in the Vile Parle neighborhood, in the 1920s, in a context linked to the swadeshi movement, meaning the promotion of Indian production against dependence on foreign products. The company was founded to compete with European confectionery and became, over time, synonymous with sweets with a distinctly Indian flavor, with products such as Kismi, Poppins, Mango Bite, Rola Cola, and, of course, Melody.

For this reason, the package delivered to Meloni can be read as an object of soft power, a fragment of popular culture recognizable by millions of Indians.
