Några rader om Fediverse punk month - Lemmy.World

cross-posted from: https://aggregatet.org/post/2840053 [https://aggregatet.org/post/2840053] > Några rader om ’Fediverse punk month’ höra i senaste Döda katten. Här är vad som skickades in: > > ’Fediverse punk month’ är en kampanj som uppmanar punkare att testa fediversum under Januari månad 2026 från the Counter force. > Bakgrund är att mycket information om evenemang, musiksläpp eller nya band släpps främst i kommersiella och stängda plattformar som ägs av Big Tech företag från USA. T.ex. Instagram eller Discord. Det här är övervakningsplattformar som berikar miljardärer och fångar oss i beroendeframkallande algoritmer. > Fediversum är ett alternativ till stängda sociala medier som drivs i linje med punkens kärnvärden: Det är öppen, autonomt, decentraliserat och drivs DIY utan att kunna ägas av en enda person eller företag. Eftersom det inte finns beroendeframkallande algoritmer är det också mer hälsosamt. > Kampanjen uppmanar dig inte att säga upp ditt Instagramkonto eller stänga ner Discord idag, även om vissa av oss redan gjort det. Istället uppmanar den till att testa Fediversum. Social media vi gör själva gör vi också tillsammans, därför uppmanas punkare att ta med sina vänner in i de öppna rummen på internet. > Några bra ingångar för punkare kan vara: > Kamratdataföreningen Konstellationens Mastodoninstans Spejset eller anarkistiska kolektiva.social > Forumet Punken är död – Länge leve punken > aggregatet.org/c/punk [http://aggregatet.org/c/punk] > Konstellationens Zine Kamratdata

Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping? - Lemmy.World

In all the years I’ve been around, both on the internet & among friends and acquaintances from Asia (incl. Taiwan & China), WtP has been a symbol of resistance against Xi Jin Ping and authoritarianism in China. I know .ml is heavily tankie in general, but just need a double check from the more reasonable parts of the internet.

Whilst watching a movie (and looking things up on wikipedia after). More than 350’000 jews lived in Czechoslovakia before WW2. Approximately 18’000 children were sent to death camps, of which fewer than 200 survived. Meanwhile, this man helped save 669 children. For comparison, approximately 7’000 jewish people live in Czechia and Slovakia today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Winton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Winton] Feel free to add more interesting context in the comments, would love to learn more!

It smells terribly, exposes others to negative health effects without consent and is one of the biggest causes of littering. Simply put it is a major nuisance with no benefits apart from profits for the tobacco/drug industry and addicts getting their high. Could probably extend that to anywhere around minors in general too.

The tragic part of this is that Disney is essentially positioned to extort an entire culture due to owning the copyright for a two-generations old piece of cinema that has become part of national tradition. Exactly how much is being paid anually for the air rights is subject to non-disclosure, but the fact that the Swedish National broadcaster has considered not renewing is telling.

Here’s a quote from an interview last year:

We know that Donald is loved by the Swedish audience and that there would be an outcry if the program disappeared from the schedule, but at the same time we have a responsibility for what SVT’s tax money goes to.
