  • The war in Ukraine obviously.

  • You're shifting the goalpoast. The comment above you said the west is drawing a line in regards to military violence upon Eastern Europe. All of Eastern Europe are old Soviet states so mentioning that is not at all a refutal of their statement.

  • How would that even work? Then we'll have to deal with figuring out what to do when "allies" attack other members.

  • Only charlatans were recommending blockchain for everything. It was painfully obvious how inefficiently it solved a non-existent problem.

  • I'd be a little more specific with defining abortions.

  • It's not worse or better than a social platform. It's an entirely seperate tool. Broadcasting your official government messages through a community owned by other people that could delete your comments on a whim is not ideal. The people have already decided to put the owners in power through democratic elections, which are lightyears beyond the whims of narcisistic billionaires, admins and biased social media polls.

  • I think you're fundementally misunderstanding the purpose of these state instances. They're a one-way broadcast channel from the government to the people. It's not a social platform and no one except the government can create an account.

  • So Lemmy and Mastodon instances are free market solutions, unless a government does it? I don't even understand what your point is.

  • Option 4: Don't do any of those things and let them discover naturally instead of acting like you need to compensate for something.

  • Why would a government subject itself to potential censorship of whatever admin is running their instance? It makes perfect sense for a government to host their own instance from where they can freely broadcast announcements.

    And the free market has proven to be unreliable. You're subject to whatever billionaire is ego-tripping at the top of whatever platform you're using. The will of the people is nowhere to be seen.

  • That's actually hilarious because the coalition of ruling parties of the Netherlands was so unstable that it fell apart today.

  • Reddit also banned me for saying nazis deserve to be punched. A comment I made under a post similar to this. Appearantly making such posts is fine, but commenting the same shit is unforgivable.
