I've noticed this quite a bit in both South and South East Asian culture - it seems a trend to worship "strong authoritarian patriarchal leaders" especially amongst the petit borgeousie small/medium business owners and is often ignored or laughed off by the West (or even admired by rightwingers over here, as its generally illegal or strongly discouraged to overtly display Nazi-symbols anywhere in Europe..)
Right, no talk is ever really “finished” but I think I made good use of the time on the train between Amsterdam and Brussels to add some finishing touches to my presentation for tomorrow at the European Parliament.
Now with added Fediverse goodness :)

Cowdung is really a wonder product.
When added to crops, becomes Manure
When added to fire, becomes Fuel
When sold by Ramdev, becomes Medicine
and
When consumed by Bhakts, becomes their brain.

Good morning with my latest work! This time, no trees but pylons. #traditionalArt #mastoArt #NeonImpressionism
I've been asking people around me what is holding them from using Mastodon (even after some of them joined), and I got 4 reasons:
1) Not many people here
2) Can't find people here even if they're here
3) It looks very complicated, especially the instances thing
4) Doesn't seem too different from Birdsite so why bother
For people to adopt this platform, these four points need to be addressed. And that too in ultra-simple non-nerdy language.
