there is so much insider talk on the fedi > even lead devs of bigger projects tend to communicate as if they were sitting in the kitchen > sometimes it is pretty hard to follow what it's all about #fediverse
get fedi hired ... interesting for field studies lol > look at this test person from germany (incl english translation + deepl indonesian translation)

your internet connection is really really bad, and you still want to see what's happening on the fedi, but your browser simply won't load mastodon, misskey, friendica, pleroma etc?
you may try kbin instead > this fedi platform is ultra lightweight #kbin#fediverse
and even in countries where c140 is in force, it's not all good > e.g. in germany, two states keep violating the ratified convention: bavaria (germany's economic powerhouse) and saxony prefer to suppress workers' rights > both german states share a history of far-right leaning governments, accompanied by far-right terrorism #labor#ilo
to many, bds (boycott, divestment and sanctions) seems rather obscure > nevertheless, there is one particular field of studies where bds made a drastic impact - and bds did more damage than good
it was about twenty years ago that mona baker, a renowned scholar in translation studies, severed all ties with scholars from israel > this event proved nothing short of a catastrophe, putting the blame for wrongdoings of the israeli government on progressive scholars like gideon toury and itamar even-zohar
mona baker has kept some record of the early correspondence between her and gideon toury, and it's accessible here > it is worth reading, as this correspondence happened at a time when the global south for the very first time took the lead within an academic discipline - translation studies
In the view of author Deborah Feldman, politicians from all parties are instrumentalizing anti-Semitism to incite hatred against Muslims. She fears for social cohesion. She also criticizes Germany's "blind loyalty" to Israel. #germany#islamophobia
indian intellectual ranjit hoskoté stepped down¹ as member of the selection committee of germany's most important exhibition of contemporary art documenta amidst a distinctly german discussion, publicly labeling ranjit hoskoté as antisemitic
by and large german media has opted to neglect coverage of cooperation between far-right hindutva politicians from india and far-right zionist politicians from israel > both of them share a peculiar anti-muslim stance which is met with approval from many sections of german society
keeping this in mind, the public rejection of ranjit hoskoté does not come as a surprise >
hoskoté's being vocal about far-right cooperations on international level is not welcome in germany where the political leadership maintains close ties with the far-right governments of both india and israel
conservatives and fascists both prefer the past over the present, so that both of them are absolutely unfit to deal with urgent problems of our times #conservatism#fascism
