They have been displaying random (?) flags for a few days, now. Kinda annoying as I don’t care much about flags and politics online and I managed to filter out almost all politics out of my feed… until I noticed those flags. Like I commented here if they really insist on keeping doing that it won’t last long before I get tired enough of it and stop using piefed. And no, using uBo to regularly block that logo/flag is not a good enough solution for me ;)
Thx, the issue is that I really don’t look forward to setup a new instance (losing all my comments, once more time plus no assurance it won’t happen over there later on). I feel more and more like even the Fediverse is not something for me… Which I may one day very simply be completely fine with like when I decided to give up on traditional social media.
Thx a lot (much appreciated, coming from you). I hope too to remain around here, you can be assured of that and also that I’m in no hurry to take any action ;)
It’s just… no matter how symbolic & insignificant it is (I was tempted to write ‘how childish it is’, to be honest), I think it’s not the smartest type of action they could have made. And that makes me feel sad for all of us as I see so many of those ‘dumb’ moves taking the lead almost everywhere, in a time where a hint a smartness and of moderation would be needed more than ever. And could help so much.

I know, it’s never an easy process.
Hopefully you will stay around, it’s always nice to see one of your comments!

I understand th at feeling. But on the other hand the centralised alternatives are even worse
