God how hard it will be for people to realise how fucking stupid making more russian reactors and signing more russian gas contracts are. Our electoral system is in shambles¹. social issues are overwhelmingly conservative here. The bigger green party is anti-gLObaLisM. The neo-na**s have the same amount of seats as green party number 1.

¹: 2022: Popular vote: 54,13% Fidesz-KDNP; 34,44% United Opposition; 5,88% Our Homeland (neo-na**s). cf district votes: Fidesz-KDNP 87, United Opposition 19.

Mixed system so parliament makeup (199 seats) is 135 seats - 67,84% for Fidesz-KDNP; 57 seats - 28,64% for United Opposition; 6 seats - 3,02% for Our Homeland; and 1 seat for German national representation thing.

So yeah, shit's fucked

Hard agree. Our government will wreck the economy just to die on two hills: social conservatism (EU funding says hi) and russian reliance. Russian gas, russian atom (x2) because they want to build Paks II. They also gerrymandered the everliving fuck out of electoral districts so they can win their precious supermajority. I hope they fail on at least one of the aforementioned hills so they can drop the ball like the now-opposition did in 2006. As for communism, well, the 72% seems very wrong. Sure we had dictatorship-lite, but 1956 happened beforehand, to which we lost many of our schools for example. Plenty of (grand+)parents' tales paint communism like it was the worst thing that could possibly have happened. Also, if 72% of people preferred communism, then surely the dem. socialist party would Poll higher than 3%.

Reminder that fidesz (the govt party) was originally anti-communist. (I am Hungarian if it wasn't obvious).

You might have just made me search for a distro to hop to. I looked at OpenSUSE but then realised that software availability might just be a pain in the fourth point of contact. Why god why me

I'm in the same boat, and KDE is quite buggy for me under Nobara, but I'm too lazy to maintain a rolling distro and I haven't found anything yet that I like more.

Fellow Nobara user and man of culture, I see

Checked it out, and to be honest, it is fucking rad (excuse my enthusiastic french). It looks very polished, and – though I recognise that this might be (another) case of tunnel vision – it looks like a great fit for the Agora. Ease of voting is a potential issue, but it looks quite easy on Decidim as well – nothing a good readme can't solve (imhumbleo).

Nay, quite simply EH, Grad, and (currently voting) Hexbear are not moderating to a standard required by the rules of this instance.

Also IIRC this [Vote] post will not count, start a [Discussion] instead. (Check the "Changes to the Agora" post).

You might mean Raidillion.

Aye.

Please please please defederate ASAP! Today I got lots of hexbear posts in my feed, and a lot of them mocked the """ultra-liberals""" on sh.itjust.works. Even communities, which at first glance don't seem to be about politics, just post anti-literally-anyone-who-is-not-a-tankie content. I especially love how apparently the Uyghur genocide is a media lie.

Not going to lie, as an outsider before checking the community name, that title made me do a double- (more like quadruple-) take. Thanks for a mood boost at 0150 AM.

It's a pirate's life for me.... and apparently for Netflix.

uhm, AkcHualLy, pushes glasses up it's spelled laser, not Lazer. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation. LASER. 🤓

Objection: defederation is a beautifully descriptive name. You remove an instance from the Federation. Defenestration is funny, but doesn't give any context.

At any point in time, there will be just one voting thread open on the Agora where people get to decide on issues that will affect how the instance is run in the future, pinned at the very top.

already done, "Changes to the Agora" post. Well pinning isn't but obviously these threads will get upvoted enough to get to the top of practically any sorting. I do agree that it would be better to pin these.

I suspect that many more people on this instance feel the same way, not wanting to participate daily in internal politics that is, or aren’t even aware of the voting power the Agora holds

I argue that it is very simple, if one is aware that the Agora exists. Read the rules, vote in the one-week period. Feel free to participate in discussions.

I fear a ‘tyranny of the active few’, to put it in hyperbolic terms, that has the potential to drive away the majority of people.

Again, it is easy in my eyes.

Yet (semi) daily, the Agora seems to vote on issues that will affect me directly [...]

This seems to be the problem here. According to the changes post, there is one [Vote] post, Friday-Friday.
