The picture of Elbow Mush in the thumbnail looks like he’s going for the “Justin Timberlake if he aged badly after a diet of whiskey, hamburgers and pocket-fulls of drugs” look.

I wish everyone would withdraw from Twitter.

especially those who think it’s a good idea to post important updates on X.

There’s always a home for them on the Fediverse!

toothpaste_sandwich, to world in Swiss public broadcasters withdraw from X/Twitter

Good. Now switch to the Fediverse.

I deleted my account yesterday, and don’t have any regrets anymore. There’s nothing to be gained there. I don’t want to be somewhere, where neonazis are encouraged to post

What took so long

dinckelman,

Haven’t used it in quite a while either way. Only kept it so i can open links

They should really switch to Mastodon and host their own instance, just like the German public broadcast service: ard.social

Andromxda,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Btw I just realized that the BBC and NPR are also experimenting with Mastodon, the BBC even has their own instance: social.bbc/about

looks like npr abandoned that account in 2020

Andromxda,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Damn, didn’t realize that. That’s pretty unfortunate.

mesamunefire,

Looks like it’s being used, that’s cool. social.bbc/public

@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Didnt even know abou that…
That’s way too progressive.
Especially compared to their YT-channel

They are not even listing it on their website. Neither for ard.de nor tagesschau.de

Andromxda,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I never use the YouTube channels to watch their content, I prefer to watch that stuff right from the ARD/ZDF media library using an open-source application called MediathekView (GitHub). There’s also a web version.

This idea is cheesy and full of holes

don, to technology in Swiss public broadcasters withdraw from X/Twitter

I’m a bit surprised the Swiss were on Twitter to begin with.

TWeaK, to technology in Swiss public broadcasters withdraw from X/Twitter

So are they going to Mastadon or what?

Icalasari,

I think it would be better if they made their own instance that worked akin to Mastodon. Then they are always in control of it and people can use whatever Fediverse account to follow

onion,

So a normal Mastodon instance

Legend,

Yeah like what is going on here .

takeda,

That’s how I understand Mastodon’s meant to work. You have your instance like you do a mail server, then you have full control over it.

TWeaK,

I agree, that’s what the BBC did.

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Hmmm, did they? I’m looking and I can’t tell what their legit account is. There’s some account @c.im that has 25k followers but it doesn’t seem like the actual BBC account, just some 3rd-party not (like a dozen others).

Which is the one they set up?

TWeaK,

I’m pretty sure they did, although I’ve used Mastadon even less than I used Twitter, so I can’t be 100% sure. However I’ve read articles over the months saying they were introducing an instance as a trial, and then that they were keeping it running after the trial.

jan75,

Not exactly the same, but the swiss administration have their own mastodon instance: www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/…/48808086

Link to instance: social.admin.ch/about

TWeaK,

So ideally these public broadcasters would make communities on the official Swiss instance.

Eheran, to technology in Swiss public broadcasters withdraw from X/Twitter

A little late, eh?

kent_eh,

Better late than never.

Verdorrterpunkt,

Eh, it all takes a bit longer here.

poplargrove, to world in Swiss parliamentary committee backs plan to deport asylum seekers

They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.

cygnus, to world in Swiss parliamentary committee backs plan to deport asylum seekers
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

Sounds about right for the Swiss. If the Eritreans had money, though…

ichbinjasokreativ,

Deporting the useless and accepting the useful is a valid strategy for any government that is respecting its own people.

Son_of_dad,

What do you call the strategy where you pretend to be neutral while making money off war, and stealing the gold and money from the victims of genocides?

ichbinjasokreativ,

Sound business?

Tryptaminev,

Which is why you should be deported immediately. I’ve heard Belarus will probably take you for a few hundred bucks. No need to deport you to a country you are actually citizen off, amirite?

ichbinjasokreativ,

You know nothing about me, stop projecting

Duke_Nukem_1990,

Richtiger Michi.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why are asylum seekers useless? Do you think they all fled their countries because they had no skills? I’m pretty sure they fled because their lives were in danger.

Also, there is a big difference between an illegal immigrant and an asylum seeker.

ichbinjasokreativ,

You’re the one generalizing. Some are useful, some are not. Sorting and processing them should be done efficiently, which is what the swiss are trying to do.

PsychedSy,

Christ, you don’t process asylum seekers based on skills. If you want to nab some rejected asylum seekers that way, sure, otherwise it’s a humanitarian endeavour.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure how “deport all Eritrean asylum seekers” is an efficient way to sort them unless you think they are all unskilled, which is what you sure implied.

ikidd,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

They’re rejected asylum seekers. Now you may question the rejection criteria, but what do you do with people that don’t meet your qualifications for entry, and can’t be repatriated to their originating country because they won’t accept them back without their consent?

klisklas,

Sorting and processing them should be done efficiently

Like we ‘processed’ certain people during WW2? You seem like a disgusting neoliberal who got fat and cruel from all the accumulated wealth you probably ‘worked very hard for’.

ichbinjasokreativ,

That’s quite a leap, but also about what I expected.

ours,

Here come the fascists…

Asylum isn’t some fancy, it’s to help people in need when we have plenty to share.

Maybe us Swiss could use more people with a heart instead of miserable and cruel bastards like you.

ichbinjasokreativ,

My parents were married when I was conceived, making me decidedly not a bastard. And the times when europe had ‘plenty to share’ are long over.

thetreesaysbark,

Ummmm. Have you been around Europe lately?

There’s a huge amount to share. It’s astonishing really just how much money is here.

I feel the real gripe should be with the lack of taxation of the rich, resulting in the poor not having enough to share.

Those same rich are telling you that you don’t have enough to share and to get angry at foreigners instead of themselves, misdirecting your anger.

cygnus,
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

Americans found it in their heart to have “plenty to share” to help Europe rebuild after the war even after being involved in the same war themselves. Most Europeans learned the moral lesson of that, but it seems you missed that memo.

ichbinjasokreativ,

The US in turn received major influence in europe and has since massively benefitted from that. We stand to gain nothing like that.

klisklas,

We stand to gain nothing like that.

I guess you missed the massive gains from years of colonialism and ongoing resource drain from these countries. Now that refugees demand asylum from the ongoing wars, climate crisis and economic disaster which we left them in, Europe has ‘nothing more to give’ according to you. Ego centric hypocrisy.

nyctre,

Guy should probably change name to ichbinfotze or something more appropriate

Maalus,

Lol imagine unironically thinking that it was out of the goodness of the US’s heart

cygnus,
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

Sounds like you should do some reading on how hard-fought the Marshall plan was.

Maalus,

So? It still wasn’t from the goodness of the US heart lol

Yeah, Eritreans are a difficult group… as they are actually 2 groups.

The first group left Eritrea in the previous civil war and have been refugees since the 90s. These are mostly pro-Afwerki, as he is the guy who then fought the opressive government to liberate Eritrea.

Since then Afwerki turned into a brutal autocrat and has spiked a second wave of refugees who are mostly younger and lived under Afwerki’s brutal regime.

And then in Europe these 2nd wave refugees are confronted with 1st wave pro-Afwerki refugees who hold rallies, spy on their countrymen and report them causing their families back home to be arrested or worse.

So these 2 groups are at odds to put it mildly. Causing violent clashes, usually between large groups, mostly when the Afwerki group is holding one of their rallies.

It’s really shitty to have to deal with. This is the case all over Europe btw. Switzerland is not alone with this issue, nor growing hardline stances. These types of issues fuel the right wing parties as it ‘proves their point’ and the inability for governments to stop it is an actual issue.
