China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.

As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.

There’s was a surprisingly great 6 minute video from CNN done on this in January.

The “hospital bombing” Was a Hamas rocket

This was independently verified as an IDF rocket from multiple sources. Also what about the other 7 hospitals bombed?

Yeah a military will kill their enemies when there’s a war.

Snipers are executing children with bullets to the head. Men are released blindfolded to run and be executed via bullet. This is not what many would be considered, “normal war killing”

There is humanitarian aid going in. There is a border between Egypt and Gaza, it’s mostly just Egypt is being weird causing problems.

Not only is the IDF stopping aid into Gaza as are Israel citizens.

A lot of the humanitarian problems are because there are so many people in Rafah, a place that doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle that many people

Interesting that Israel specifically chose this as a place to evacuate civilians to, and despite that still decided to do both a bombing and ground invasion.

what’s left of their homes to the north

There is nothing left. The IDFs entire plan was the destruction of civilian infrastructure and we’re already seeing Israeli settlers moving into these western locations.

No Iraq officials condemned the attacks and accused the US of violating the countries sovereignty.

"These strikes constitute a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, an undermining of the efforts of the Iraqi government, and a threat that will drag Iraq and the region into undesirable consequences, the consequences of which will be dire for security and stability in Iraq and the region,” Yahya Rasool Iraqi commander in chief

I understand the sentiment against the kernel based anti cheat, but as someone who’s played a lot of Counterstrike the top level, cheating essentially ruins the native game and forces you to use 3rd party matchmaking systems (Pre verified era)

I appreciate Riot for implementing Vanguard into Valorant, I don’t play a lot but it seems in a far better position because of the ability to control native matchmaking.

I’m also hoping the introduction to league leads to Smurf reduction which is primarily the biggest problem with their native matchmaking system.

To have formal relations with China you can’t recognize Taiwan as independent.

China is definitely not one of the highest polluters per capita. And that’s also taking into the fact that most of the Western world is produced there.

That doesn’t say much about the build quality though as the reason companies are moving out of China is Chinas increased manufacturing costs.

Missile and bombs are never the answer

You’re right, but if we can’t hold the oppressors accountable why are we drawing the line at the oppressed responding?

I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way. Essentially cloning reddit through their users and using lemmy communities content as a Kickstarter tool.

war against Hamas

lol sure against Hamas

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.

Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.

Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.

I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.

The app experience is much better than the browser experience imo

Ghost cities are largely American propaganda and most have filled out to well urbanized areas. You can read quite a bit about it on the wiki

Just FYI hot is probably the worst way to browse for news and events, I’ve found top of 6h is far better if you check often, Active if you check every 24 hrs ish.

Your wiki links first sentence says it’s within socialism which would make them socialist.

Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism

Nordic countries are currently blowing the US out of the water on every measurable metric so you might want to rethink that argument.
