    Heya, here’s to wishing a good month. I have been sick lately so I’ll be taking some rest on and off.

    Random fact: My friend bought an Ikea Blahaj and has been calling it Blahaj all the time, while I somehow thought Blahaj was the name my friend came up with until I read the tag at Ikea on my next visit. That was really silly of me.

    And that is why the name Blahaj really stuck with me and I named my bot Blahaj. Do I want a Blahaj? Maybe… I wanted a Gosig but Blahaj feels super nice too.

    re:

    I need examples for enshittified platforms i.e. websites that have gone to shit. We got TwitterX, Reddit, what else?

    And preferably with counter-examples e.g. Masto and Lemmy.

    Hah, i forgot about Pillowfort. The not-quite-AO3-but-adjacent gang has coded a basic tumblr replacement. I have been there and forgot about it (it had been years). It is barebones and without much users but it tumblr’s basic functionality.

    What happens when/if Zahid get convicted? He purged a few members that were pro-PN iirc. And the remaining BN MPs? Do they support Zahid fully?

    Also, Zahid’s court case will be Anwar’s downfall regardless of outcome. It not guilty - next election people bring it up. There will be a discourse about government interference in this case.

    If guilty, structural integrity of BN and therefore the coalition will suffer.

      Between Zahid and Moo, we don’t really have a choice, do we? But if you put PAS into the picture, depends on your ideology and political spectrum, it will be obvious. Moo also strangled with corruption cases, and the amount of embezzlement also on-par with Zahid if not greater; the number of charges, however, is leading by Zahid.

      Then, we have the second coming of Iskandar Kutty…

        I’m more commenting on the future of the coalition, not talking about the options we had at that point in time during election.

    BBC have their own Mastodon instance, so does the Dutch government. What if MUDA decided to have their own as well 😐

        (also bold of you to assume MUDA is actually plugged in to whatever’s going on in the world. They already have trouble getting their own country.) 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

          Haha, they do use socmed a lot and is the age group that will be following trendy stuff, so they’re likelier to be the first political group to have their own instance.

            I think if trendy you mean live on twt and fb, instead of reddit even, that would explain their blind spot lmao

              For some reason, politician doesn’t like touching reddit(thank god lol), nurul izzah once had an account in reddit, but quit a short while. Even if they did, they did not announce their presence unlike other platform. Else Reddit would’ve been ip banned a long while ago.

              Muda is active on tiktok though, so it’s not as farfetched that they will run something like mastodon

                Oh they’re on TikTok? Oh, they’re never going to be here then 🤣🤣 I remain optimistic though (in a very general way, the way I hope for all people), even if weaning yourself from dopamine hits won’t be easy, RIP to their social media intern

        From their announcements ‘Lemmy.world has been down between 02:00 UTC and 05:45 UTC. This was caused by the database spiking to 100% cpu (all 32 cores/64 threads!) due to inefficient queries been fired to the db very often.’
