The KCTVkp channel, which is a direct 24/24 feed of the main North Korean TV station KCTV has been running for MONTHS now and Twitch still hasn't got it taken down? Tbh I'm pretty happy about it because all the other sources have been taken down and now there's a really easy way to watch it

We have a thief in the fediverse!!! (again!)
They stole shamefully their social network interface from #MissKey! @misskey
@syuilo @syuilo
Not any mention of MissKey on their website!
Makes me think of the #Hiveway fiasco, when they shamefully stole Mastodon. Also a crypto pre-ICO. I wouldn't be surprised it are the same guys.

... I have no idea how to start researching #French history. Most concerned with Francia in the Early Middle Ages -- pariicularly from 768-814 -- the Avignon Papacy, and the French Revolution. Is for character stuffs. (Also gonna look into The Matter of France, but I can probably find a translation or something there.)

If we don’t do that this time, if we don’t change the system rather than the person sitting at the head of it, the next would-be fascist to get into office will be even worse.
Hold their feet to the fire on this – we need to reduce executive power. We need to hold those who have committed crimes in this administration or knowingly abetted such accountable. We need to switch to a fairer, more democratic voting system.

Trump would not have been nearly as much of a danger if he and Congressional Democrats had set precedent by holding the Bush Administration and those who aided and abetted its crimes accountable. And he wouldn’t have even gotten in if we had dismantled or limited the Electoral College after the unjust Bush debacle where it led to him being handed the Presidency by the Supreme Court.

If Trump and Pence get impeached, or voted out in 2020, we can’t just decide everything’s fine because “our guy” is in office. We can’t have a repeat of Obama. It’s not just the individual – it’s the system. Trump would not have been nearly as much of a danger if Obama had reversed the expansions of executive power under Bush, instead of maintaining and even increasing them.

Mastodon vs twitter thoughts, negative
Two of the big things I was really, really hoping to get away from that I see on twitter were
1.) blatant content theft.
2.) RT/Boost/fave/etc if....
Both of these things are stuff that drive me absolutely nuts on twitter and starting to see it crop up here is kinda disheartening x.o
I know the second one most of the time is just folks having fun but just...it feels gross to me.
