In 1992, following independence from the Soviet Union, an error in the new constitution of Estonia led to Torgu being left out. In response, the area's 500 inhabitants decided to form their own kingdom. (en.wikipedia.org)

Journalist and activist Kirill Teiter became its first monarch. The following year, the error was corrected and Torgu officially became part of Estonia. Nevertheless, the kingdom's flag and coat of arms can still be seen in the parish.

Association of Internet Researchers Moving to Mastodon (aoir.org)

In October 2022, Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter. Almost a year later and we have witnessed the gutting of the content moderation department, a huge increase in hate speech, and in real terms the end to API-based researcher access to data. Twitter (or ‘X’) isn’t just unfriendly but actually unsafe for many...

    Just reading my feed it appears that Kbin social is getting porn spammed by some 4chan site. Anyone else seeing this?

    Yep - I posted about it here about an hour ago. From what other users are describing on that thread, it looks like a coordinated porn bot phishing attack from several domains, that then uses multiple redirects which potentially leads them to load websites in the background that could infect your system. Info on the links thanks to @DarkThoughts who risked it all in the name of science.

    @gentleman Of course! The Kbin UI for Mastodon definitely isn't super intuitive yet. Hopefully that process will improve a bit once some of the upcoming Kbin updates get released.

    You might've already seen this, but just in case other people missed it since not everyone may follow ernest or check the microblog tab, he listed his current priorities here https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/1002621/Hi-in-this-and-probably-the-next-week-I-will so hopefully people won't have to deal with this too much longer 🤞

    Ok, so in the next few days, I'll be testing some things. It might be a bit worse for a while, but it will definitely speed up the problem-solving process. I'll be grateful for any feedback. I'm unable to reproduce it in local/testing environments, so it might be an issue with the cluster.

    Orban once again blames West for war, calls for peace talks on Russian terms (kyivindependent.com)

    Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban once again called for peace talks with Russia, repeating the Kremlin's false notion that the West is fighting Russia, using Ukrainian people as proxies. The Ukrainian government rejected the notion of negotiation with Russia until all of the Russian troops are gone from Ukraine's sovereign...

    SupraMario,

    Orban is a Russian puppet and needs to be pulled. Turkey and Hungary playing this double friends bullshit while being in NATO is fucked. You’re absolutely right, no peace talks are needed… russia leaves and peace follows… shocking idea
