But to make a larger point, it's nice to see @Flipboard continue to put so much effort into the fediverse.
Just recently they released https://flipboard.com/directory after already helping many major and smaller publishers join the fediverse.
Maybe that's not your thing! I am grateful for their work, so that those who want to follow news can do so right here, instead of having to choose between the fediverse and other platforms.
JÀlleen tÀrkeÀ kansalaisaloite!
"ĂĂ€ripiirteisten koirien ja kissojen jalostuksen kieltĂ€minen ja niiden hyvinvoinnin turvaaminen
Ehdotus uudesta elÀinten hyvinvoinnista annetun lain 25 a §:stÀ:
Koiria ja kissoja ei saa jalostaa siten, ettÀ tuotetaan elÀimiÀ, joilla todennÀköisesti on elÀinlÀÀketieteellisen tutkimustiedon perusteella sellaisia perinnöllisiÀ ominaisuuksia, geenejÀ tai rakenteita, jotka voivat todennÀköisesti aiheuttaa kipua, sairautta tai merkittÀvÀÀ haittaa elÀimen hyvinvoinnille (ÀÀripiirteinen jalostus).

Yet another #Artemis II article (from a French press agency, no less) ignoring that propulsion, power, & life support to the Orion capsule are provided by ESAâs European Service Module.
Built in Bremen by Airbus, with parts from all over Europe, e.g. solar wings made in Leiden.
Also no mention of the fact that the ESMâs for the Moon-landing Artemis IV & V missions are to be supplied as part of ESAâs contribution to the Lunar Gateway.
Which NASA cancelled last week.

It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"
I would like to argue it's not;
If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure needed
Ofc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solution
So yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.
