This was among the reasons why feddit.bg was started, a community far from the numbers on Reddit, but is locally hosted and transparently administered. This limits the risks of such events happening in the future. Part of the fediverse: feddit.bg/c/fediverse

Искаме да насочим вниманието ви към нов български проект - Фeddit на feddit.bg. Това е социална мрежа подобна на Reddit, но фокусирана върху българската публика и изцяло администрирана от българи. В нея няма реклами, нито корпоративни или бизнес интереси. 1/2

If for whatever reason you might be migrating to Instagram/Threads, keep in mind that you have the option to integrate your account with the fediverse (Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed/...)

Driving in Italy is like speaking English in a non-native speaking country. It's detrimental to your abilities (thread)
Then there are also those who do get to drive fast as they'd like surpassing everyone from the rightmost lane. Expectedly, this last category is composed mostly of sportscars. The actual fun is that plenty of van drivers are also trying to repeat that trick with limited success

As part of my process of moving out of twitter, I've unfollowed all my contacts that are: verified accounts, marketing accounts, journalists. Given that this platform is literally broken for communication, I've lost my tolerance to people paying for it
By participating in this space, you're actively supporting white supremacism.

Did he just say #MAGA have nothing to fight for.
Yes, "greatest on earth", already
After seeing the quality of conversations on this platform deteriorate drastically, 've now conclusively left it and no longer check my account. Anyone who wishes to get in touch with me can find me on the Fediverse at qoto.org/@mapto
I also actively maintain a Bulgarian-language account at masto.bg/@mapto and an Italian-language one at feddit.it/u/mapto. The diversity of the Fediverse is one of its most beautiful parts and I'd like to contribute to it.
Bulgaria to appoint its 5th #ProsecutorGeneral after fall of #communism. All of them eccentric, to say the least, appointed in a process that illustrates what in South European languages is known as #BulgarianVote #MaggioranzaBulgara #VotarALaBulgara (thread)
All this and more, can be read and distributed (en/de/fr/it/bg) via docs.google.com/document/d/1…
We're looking for further publicity and are willing to get people in touch with local lawyers, experts, journalists, activists, for further details and opinions

Bulgaria’s election next month is boiling down to the role of media mogul Delyan Peevski and his capacity to undermine the nation’s fragile democracy.
The tycoon has come to epitomize Bulgaria’s captured state.
But taking him on is no easy matter.

You need to understand how crazy this antisemitism bill is that just passed the House with wide bipartisan approval. The law requires the Department of Education to adopt the definition of antisemitism provided by something called the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

People feel a greater sense of belonging when their colleagues check in with them regularly. s.hbr.org/48ZJQO4
I am a fan of arXiv, but one inevitable downside--especially in a world full of #AI influencers taking click-bait titles of new arXiv entries at face value--is that papers claiming theoretical analyses will just be assumed to be proving what they claim, even if they are actually not (because often the influencers can't actually be bothered to read or understand the claimed theorems and their settings).
Hard as it may be to believe in these days when everyone wishes they already are AI experts, understanding claims in technical papers requires actual #AI background--not just twitter follower count or even eminent expertise in other areas.
