I'm holding on to my Reddit account the same as I'm holding on to my Twitter account. I might come back to it later, if conditions change, but I'm sure as shit not contributing meaningful content on either of those platforms anymore.
Since Beehaw started one, I figured we should start one too. It can be found here: https://cohost.org/lemmygrad For those unfamiliar with Cohost: it's a small, largely community-funded, ad-free social media platform that operates somewhat similarly to Tumblr. It's a comfy place full of cool transgender programmer furries and I highly recommend checking it out.

Is any of this actually true? Only time will tell. I am hesitant to take Lukashenko's word for it.
>Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced on Saturday that he had arranged a deal whereby Wagner Group leader Evgeny Prigozhin will abandon his mutiny in exchange for “security guarantees” for his fighters. >“Evgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of President Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed men of Wagner in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tension,” read a statement from Lukashenko's office.

It's the buzzword du jour of a buzzword-rich reactionary political movement. Before that it was "SJWs" and "cultural marxists" and "political correctness", and so on.

For the record, Russian state media is also calling this a coup attempt.

I agree that there is a great deal of magical thinking and rationalization at play. This war has been a catastrophe all-around. It has led to countless civilian deaths, the revitalization/expansion of NATO and a significant depletion of the forces and materiel of the Russian Federation.

The tense relationship between Wagner PMC and the Russian MoD (particularly given Defense Minister Shoigu's cozy relationship with Wagner competitor Patriot PMC) continues to be a thorn in the side of this campaign from the perspective of any intellectually-honest observer.
It was a mistake to allow mercenary groups and their accompanying corruption to thrive in the Russian Federation.

there are so many things to dislike about voosh, but the ideological incoherence of "anarcho-bidenist market socialism with anti-wokescold characteristics" is a big one

Reddit can go fuck themselves. If this is how they're gonna behave, we might as well kill the site now before it can become further entrenched.

The nature of federated platforms is that every so often one of the instances decides it wants to take its ball and go home, and all of its members either return to centralized platforms or join up with other instances.

Beehaw leadership really seem hellbent on isolating Beehaw from the entire rest of the fediverse.
