@mooncake that's totally a fair point and people should be making the difference to further educate the community as a whole on more international events. I will say however that, for the most part, most people tend to be disengaged from larger news pieces in general and even then only the western headlines, and the fediverse is the place they would even find out about such international movements. second of all, you get the language barrier. inherently with international news there's going to be less primary sources and news outlets in English than in the languages of the respective countries, making the exposure even less for thiose who aren't really going looking for things in the first place
I agree with you, I really do. but I feel like unless there was really somebody who was going to sit people down and explain what's going on, people aren't going to learn about international movements. I feel it would be *better* if they did, but there are loads of reasons not to, it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of emotional energy to read about these things, as I said before searching Flor sources can be harder, and it's also the fact that people just don't know what they don't know
so Kiwi Farms has set up an instance here and I would like to explain why this is very bad, worse than gab in my opinion. for those who don't know, Kiwi Farms is a community dedicated to finding neurodivergent people, and making a spectacle out of mocking them, harassing them, doxing them and documenting everything they do. they are most well known for their harassment of 'Chris Chan', a lower functioning autistic trans woman who has been internet 'famous for about a decade and that's all down to their documentation of her and continuous harassment.
kiwi farms is bad news, they're dangerous, more so than the edgy memelords of gab.
my fave thing about reactors is, we have this super complex process to refine uranium into the isotopes we want for fission, make a super complex system of control rods and other things to control the reaction, work out how all the byproducts affect the neutrons affecting the self-sustained uranium fission that creates heat... to boil some fucking water like a bigass kettle
