I agree mostly. It’s like North Korea, I can’t really do anything to change the situation. My government can’t change the situation. We can try to push some buttons to help foster change but we can’t force it. Change has to come from within.

Have you listened to the it could happen here podcast? The first episodes(the story ones) are pretty good.

Edit specifically this episode but you should start with episode 1 for more background.

I’m not disagreeing with you but I think what we see is a minority of people with the protests. It seems like there is not really much political will to change anything from the half of the country with a penis, and the older females.

The whole thing is pretty sad but from my understanding when things like this happen they generally blame the west and the majority go along with it.

Honestly as a westerner Iran is pretty irrelevant to my life. It’s not like we can invade them or force them to overthrow the government and if we did people would never shut up about it.

Look at Afghanistan the USA spent so much money trying to spread liberal democratic ideas, integrate and educate women but as soon as we left they went back to how it always was. There is no civil war, the majority just consented to the Taliban rule.

The government exists by consent of the people or so I’ve been told…

I don’t think Pravda(truth) is federated is it?

Interesting. I wonder if the main community they spam in are just banned and not the instance. I got so much spam from one user who posted like several things an hour all day with no engagement on any posts when I would sort by new before we defederated. It was weird.

Yeah I was going to ask do you see a bunch of spam from them in the new feed? The admin guy posts so much stuff with 0 engagement it’s weird.

Just found it interesting the SDF seems like the most federated instance on here https://federation-checker.vercel.app/ weird.

Does SDF not defederate anyone?

Где вы были последние восемь лет? Where were you the last eight years? 😉

I thought this story was satire for a second. Now I’m sad 😢

Thanks for the tip! I’ll suggest this up with my scrum master in our next half day daily meeting.

Wait is this not how everyone reviews code?

Thanks I like this test more than the other ones I’ve seen. I feel like it needs more questions but that’s the problem with all these tests.

🫡 thanks

I mean it’s more of an up down issue and not a left right issue right? Most authoritarianism stuff ends up sounding the same. They both hate liberalism and want to stomp it out before they fight it out over the left right divide.
