Ich finde es immer wieder bemerkenswert, wenn ein Fedi-Projekt, das keine nennenswerte Weiterentwicklung erfährt, noch immer auf wenigstens 97 Server mindestens 724.627 Accounts führt.
"The Conference of European #Rabbis explained that Jewish communities in Europe were raising their level of preparedness given the history of #Iranian proxies attacking #Jewish targets around the world.
"We are closely monitoring the Iranian attack on #Israel and its implications for the security of #Jews in the #diaspora," said conference president Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt. 'We are in contact with all the leaders of the Jewish communities and security officials across the continent. I call on all Jews across Europe to remain vigilant in community institutions and to act responsibly in the public sphere."
The diversity of network and UX types across the fediverse/social web that my little Friendica server sees is astounding. This is just Diaspora and ActivityPub federated content since Bluesky is integrated through a client API not AT. #fediverse#SocialWeb#ActivityPub#diaspora#Bluesky#friendica
#Introduction: Hello, I am #new here! I was on #Diaspora for quite a few years but it was a very small community. Mastodon seems larger and more dynamic.
I'm mainly here to chat about #RPG games. I have been playing #DnD since the #1980s, starting with Moldvay #Basic and Keep on the Borderlands. These days I am mostly playing #DCC, but also enjoy Call of #Cthulhu, Traveller and #OSR games.
Besides #RPGs, I like British comics, especially #2000AD and its spin-offs. And #cycling.

The deeper story is, diaspora Chinese have tended to be southerners far from centers of Chinese power; many of us are descendents of anti-imperialist rebels, too (Boxer rebellion)
wang gungwu: born in surabaya to parents from china, lived in ipoh, became a federal malaya citizen, was a japanese subject, british subject, was a chinese subject, lived in singapore, lived in australia
has written extensively on what it means to be overseas chinese. unlike him, i only have to worry about my own experience; he had multiple shifting colonial and cultural identities throughout his life
The Expulsion of the Moriscos (Al-Andalus y la Historia, 2024-03-20)
by Mercedes García-Arenal & Gerard Wiegers
"Between 1609 and 1614 about 300,000 #Moriscos were forcibly expelled from Spain, chiefly through the Mediterranean ports, and sent to North Africa. This mass deportation was accomplished with the help of galleys and ships of the royal navy, and was strictly organized by the bureacracy of the Crown. With it the monarchy hoped to end more than a century of what was called “the Morisco question.” In this article we will analyze the positions of the political and religious authorities, and the factors that led to the solution that was finally found: the forced displacement of an entire religious and social group"
