You don’t get to decide that.

Anon sounds pretty over it, and I don’t blame them.

Also, if they’re making a greentext about this, they’re quite possibly on the spectrum, in which case it’s on their partner to communicate clearly.

Eh? He’s definitely made a few hits in his time.

The fact that most of those are considered a “civil war” should tell you everything.

WW2 involved multiple nations on both sides, and resulted in millions of deaths. The closest to that was the Korean War, which had Russian pilots flying for Korea, and flying from Chinese bases.

Like I said, nothing on the scale of ww2.

Because most cruises aren’t gay cruises, which makes the fact this one was unusual and somewhat interesting

You could make a strong case that the second world war came close though.

We’ve never seen warfare on that scale before, where one group of allies is fighting another, the closest is Ukraine, where two countries each have allies supplying weapons and other supplies.

At the moment, what is happening is that people sign up to an existing provider, who then bundles in access as part of the plan.

I’ll admit I haven’t been paying particularly close attention the last few movies, but my understanding is they haven’t been particularly successful.

They’re a journalist, it’s kinda their job to investigate.

Then I looked at the comments of many of these videos and it became clear that the issue was widespread. Here are comments I saw on the gore videos:

And people fucking commented on them, rather than just closing the app and doing something else with their life?

What is wrong with people? Has Instagram really got people so well trained they will just sit there and watch people dying out of habit?

Have you seen any of the recent Star Wars movies?

Matter of fact statements like this can be far more devastating than the most well thought out insults.

And they never say it in a helpful way, either. It’s always done in a smug way.

I’ve just given it the boot from my phone.

It doesn’t appear to have been doing anything yet, but whatever.

There’s one in every thread.

Possibly, although anyone who already has an account on Bluesky would likely stay there, and Bluesky has the upper hand in name recognition, and there is the uphill battle of explaining the concept of federation to people who have little interest in technology.

And that’s if, hypothetically speaking, Mastodon was as easy to use.

It’s not happening. Also, if it’s anything like here, the non stop Linuxposting would probably annoy people.

This will likely end the same way Afghanistan did (either the US or Russia), not in military victory, but with the occupying force deciding the cost is too much, and going home.

If we’re lucky, we’ll get to see Russia collapse again, too. As long as Ukraine can hold out long enough for this to happen.

Honestly, that ship has sailed, I think. When Musk first took over Twitter and everyone was bailing, if Mastodon was a viable alternative it could have taken off.

Now that Bluesky has overtaken them, and is seen as the alternative to Twitter, I think the opportunity has been lost.
