Sometimes I wonder whether I actually have any reach in the #Fediverse at all. Not in the sense of attention economy or numbers, but simply as part of a #conversation.
To me, the Fediverse was always a place for discussions. #People share thoughts, others respond, disagree, add context, laugh together or continue a line of thought. That is exactly why I write there.
Back when the #Fediverse consisted of only a few dozen servers and maybe a few tens of thousands of active users, things felt different. There were far fewer posts, fewer comments and it was much harder to disappear in the sheer volume of content.
Today things are different. More people, more content, more speed. That is beautiful in many ways because the network has grown. But at the same time it can sometimes feel like speaking alone in a room where all you hear are other people talking into that same room about their own topics.
So this is my small plea for the like button, the star, the thumbs up or whatever your platform calls it. Not as agreement, not as competition and not as vanity, but simply as a small sign saying: “I saw your post. This is an interesting contribution to the discussion.”
We do not always have to agree with each other. But especially on platforms like #Friendica or #Mastodon, even a small reaction can make the difference between “I am talking into the void” and “Someone out there is listening.”

https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20260409-argentine-mps-approve-milei-backed-bill-allow-mining-glaciers #Argentina is going to end up with no #glaciers if #Milei & his #supporters have their way. The glaciers are under a big enough threat from #climatechange, without THIS, as well! It will be absolutely devastating for the #environment in that #country, & its #people will suffer badly as a result. Do they want to be #flooded out of their #homes? Do they want to see their #crops & #cattle destroyed? Milei has to be STOPPED!

Why is it so hard to #communicate with #people these days? Everyone has this setting in their #social #psyche where they go from 0 to 100 if the wrong thing is said and I can't help but think these automatic trigger points are so detramental to our #mental #health and well being it's sad.
I really miss the web back in 2016.

Mujahideen, you are our children; awake day and night to protect our land and our people; if the people are sheltering their children, that is their right, and we praise and commend it.

مجاهدین ستاسو بچي دي؛ د خپلې خاورې او خپلو خلکو د سرومال ساتنې په موخه شپه او ورځ بیداره دي؛ که ولسونه د خپلو اولادونو ترڅنګ دريږي دا يې حق دی او مونږ يې ستاينه او هرکلی کوو.

The Islamic Emirate has made history in areas of sacrifice, nation-building, progress, religious education, unity, and the defense of the country, and we fully support it.
