As far as asking for payment for software features goes, this has the worst payoff to annoyance ratio I've ever seen.

They should ask for 10$ for a high priority label. Have some self respect.

Wasn't there lemmy?

@Solarinas

Very yes. I cope by thinking that if it got this far despite documentation this bad, it _must_ be good.

Assuming staying is non-viable for oppression reasons (I don't know the details), splitting off in a GTFO-for-self-preservation move sounds like the right move.

I think the key thing to note is that if the original government is an oppressive ethnostate, the newly split off state does not need to be.

Isn't the oppressive state the problem? The new state doesn't need to just switch which group is oppressed/favored. If it protects everyone, that's good.

Just saw this Takei post: https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/111613738449966529

Wouldn't the solution be to focus hard on the freedoms and rights side of the equation, so no need to separate them by borders in ethnostates?

If rights and freedoms aren't being protected by a government, forming a separatist ethnostate is more a GTFO-for-self-preservation move than an ideal solution. The good solution is a government that just protects everyone.

Don't know much about "groups have certain rights".

Wait, that's a squirrel. Where's the squirrel?
