Reddit data show a massive decline in activity on some subs since the attack on Russian data centres. The Irish politics sub was down as much as 80% from one center.

This reeks of a Zionist smear campaign.

Mike Covill 🇨🇦 @mike-covill.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026
Apologies, I’m just saying Zionism is racist at its core. It advocates for one race to dispossess another. One people has a right of return, another does not. When you give one race more privileges than another, that is the definition of racism. Zionism has no redeeming qualities. Zionism is racism.

Curious what is considered polite protocol when replying to posts in another language? Should I reply in the original language (translated using my AI assistant), or assume that the recipient will use the translation features in W?

Well that’s excellent. The iPhone seems to be using Apple’s translation feature. It does translation locally on the iPhone, which is good for privacy I suppose, but Apple not having Swedish is ridiculous. I had to translate your response using my AI app.

Yeah, I’m not a blogger, but if my response ends up at 320 characters, I am then faced with having to cut it back. Too much effort only because we must keep it to 300 characters. The + is a clunky admission that 300 characters is sometimes not enough. I’m guessing it’s worse in French or German.

Why does there need to be character limits? Images and videos take up 10 to 100 times the memory. Why not just allow us to write however many characters we want. The app only needs to show the first few lines, if the user seems interested, they can tap to expand it.

If reports are true that Irish players are being threatened that they'll never play for US owned clubs in the UK if they pull out of the Israel game, then that's a great argument for getting US money out of European football.

Ok, I’m with you on this one. Though I think it is more likely with right-wing countries (US) or authoritarian (Russia). The US publicly invaded Iran for social justice, privately it was for the oil.
