Are you finding Mastodon to be less vibrant/active?

I’m worried that we are not getting as much engagement on our Ukraine war reporting as we used to.

We’re trying to decide which social media platforms to continue posting on, given how much effort it takes to replicate across all of them.

If you want to send a signal to us that we should keep posting here, will you sign up for our newsletter? http://Counteroffensive.substack.com

I’m only asking Mastodon users today so we can gauge impact.

The Government of Serbia allocated humanitarian aid to Ukraine to overcome the humanitarian disaster in the Kherson region after the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP. https://www.eurointegration.com.ua/news/2023/07/15/7165856/

@noelreports that's some big news, not exactly one of the stalwart supporters of Ukraine.

"Central and Latin American countries threw cold water on the EU’s efforts to rally the continent’s support for Ukraine and called for colonial reparations in a counter-proposal of an upcoming EU summit draft declaration," writes Euractiv. https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/leak-latin-american-countries-push-back-on-ukraine-eu-agenda-ahead-of-joint-summit/

@noelreports it's a great look for them to actively ignore the imperialism of the present, and instead focus on that of the past.

It seems many states don't condemn imperialism, they condemn the imperialism they themselves faced only.

(Imo reparations are definitely a valid thing to raise but not to the EU. It's safe to say France has far more to discuss on that topic than, say, Slovenia.)

@GossiTheDog that'd be a good incentive to finally setup a Linux box.
