even China with the Great Firewall can only (occasionally) restrict Mastodon usage to within the country and a year ago 33 active Chinese instances were monitored from within Europe.

in medium/long term it may be advisable to spread yourselves out amongst instances hosted in other European countries (not just mastodon.social) and be aware of followers only posts and hiding search engine indexing as that makes it more difficult for bad actors to monitor you..

He tenido la suerte de conocer a gente que quiere su lengua, su cultura, sus derechos a mantenerlas sin que conlleve ser gilipollas supremacistas que se creen mejor que los que no las comparten.

Pero no tiene que ver con ser "nacionalista", eso es defender a los seres humanos y su variedad.

Si te importa más una "nación", la "patria", que la gente lo que te importa es un invento y nunca se podrá explicar mejor que en aquella escena de "Hache".

@sillystring just to clarify: I am not against governments, companies, individuals, NGOs, or cats existing or owning *some* of the means of production and having *some* influence.

But that influence needs to be checked and that ownership needs to be limited in the scope. Owning a few bakeries? Fine. Owning a substantial enough number of bakeries to influence health policy in a negative way? Very much not fine.

And yes, "substantial enough" and "negative way" are vague. Because life's vague.

@sillystring exactly. I would not want the government to own the means of production, just like I would not want a single corporate behemoth to own and control them.

It doesn't really matter which behemoth owns it all. Power corrupts.

We must avoid behemoths owning it all (or a large part of it all), regardless if they happen to be governments, companies, individuals, NGOs, or, you know, cats.

"Every time one person amasses a fortune worth a billion pounds, we are witnessing a policy failure."

Damn straight.
