Moving topics/contexts from one community to another
At Piefed office hours, rimu@piefed.social and I got to talking about what's next for Piefed and the Threadiverse WG.
One of those things is moving stuff between communities (or in bbs parlance: moving topics between categories/forums).
Rimu suggested we use the already-existing as:Move activity, sent by the community (a group actor), with origin and target set, and with object being the post id itself.
I suggested we update this to use the resolvable context collection as object instead, which Piefed has supported since v1.2.
That should be enough to get a proof-of-concept implementation going between Piefed and NodeBB... a question remained as to whether this should be Announce(Move(Object)) or simply Move(Object).
Argument for former was that it was similar verbiage to other 1b12 actions.
Argument for the latter was that this is merely 1b12 adjacent and needn't follow prior art.
We'll likely put together an FEP for this.

The principle applied in the U.S.S.R. is that of socialism: From each according to his ability, to each according to his work." - Josef Stalin

Also Stalin wanted to pretend he was as good friends with Lenin as Trotsky was, OP's painting is a massive manifestation of Stalin's historical revisionism. Quite ironic to make this text+image with such an obvious example of historical revisionism.

The USSR was never imperialist, that's really a poor analysis based on the economy of the USSR. It didn't run an extractionary economy based on export of capital, nor was it under the control of financial capital.
Secondly, Stalin was better friends with Lenin than Trotsky. This isn't historical revisionism, Trotsky retained his Menshevik roots throughout his life in his style of theory and practice, while Stalin was a Bolshevik from the beginning and worked with Lenin directly for a longer time. The idea that Lenin disliked Stalin mostly comes from a letter demanding Stalin's resignation over the treatment of Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's wife, for which Stalin tried to resign but was rejected.
Third, the USSR wasn't a monarchy. Even if Lenin personally liked Trotksy more, Stalin was voted in. Are you suggesting that the Soviet Union should have been a monarchy? Moreover, Trotsky's plan of assaulting the peasantry and hoping Europe would have a revolution and save the USSR from the backlash would have been suicide. Trotsky's Permanent Revolution depended on the peasantry being incapable of long-term alliance, but we know from history that that was obviously false and socialism was solidifed in the USSR.
Stalin was no saint, not everything he did was good, but at the same time not everything he did was bad, either. The CPC maintains that he was "70% good, 30% bad," upholding him as legitimate but recognizing missteps. Most communist orgs hold a similar line. Overall, he was comparatively much better than contemporaries like Churchill, despite being remembered as far worse by liberal historians.

No, this is absurd. During the first 3 decades of the USSR's existence, ie the core years with Stalin as head of state, life expectancy over doubled from the mid-30s to the low-70s, housing was free or up to ~4% of incomes, education and healthcare were free and high quality, there was sweeping democratization, and society went from what was known as a "feudal backwater" with living standards common to the 1500s to a developed country that even competed with the US Empire in the space race. Socialism was dramatically better than Tsarism and modern capitalism, and the vast majority that lived in it want it back.
The Nazis, on the other hand, instituted industrialized mass-murder, solidified capitalist rule, killed off communists, labor organizers, disabled people, queer people, and more, as well as the mass slaughtering of Jewish peoples, slavic peoples, and more. What you are doing is Holocaust trivialization. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.

Pretty decent overview, especially for the actual moments of the October Revolution, but I don't see how that's relevant to the USSR's history and economic model following the revolution, the split of Trotsky from his temporary adherance to Marxism-Leninism back into petite-bourgeois menshevism, or Stalin's merits/demerits. The sources I provided as a whole go far more in-depth, and go far beyond 1917.

good friends with Lenin as Trotsky was
Tell me you've never read Lenin without telling me
Trotsky arrived, and this scoundrel at once ganged up with the Right wing [...]What a swine this Trotsky is: Left phrases, and a bloc with the Right.
This is an instance of high-flown phraseology with which Trotsky always justifies opportunism... The phrase-bandying Trotsky has completely lost his bearings on a simple issue.
Trotsky has never yet held a firm opinion on any important question of Marxism. He always contrives to worm his way into the cracks of any given difference of opinion, and desert one side for the other.
Trotsky behaves like a despicable careerist and factionalist of the Ryazanov-and-co type. Either equality on the editorial board, subordination to the central committee and no one’s transfer to Paris except Trotsky’s (the scoundrel, he wants to ‘fix up’ the whole rascally crew of ‘Pravda’ at our expense!) – or a break with this swindler and an exposure of him in the CO. He pays lip-service to the Party and behaves worse than any other of the factionalists.
This is just a random sample, if you want more I can go on, for as long as you like.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.
Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.
In a joint investigation with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, the Guardian revealed how Microsoft and Unit 8200 had worked together on a plan to move large volumes of sensitive intelligence material into Azure.
The project began after a meeting in 2021 between Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, and the unit’s then commander, Yossi Sariel.

Hegseth abruptly summons hundreds of top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia next week
In May, Hegseth ordered that the military cut 20% of its four-star general officers, directed an additional 10% cut from all general and flag officers across the force, and told the National Guard to shed 20% of its top positions.
In February, Hegseth fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, and Gen. James Slife, the Air Force's second highest officer, without explanation. He also relieved the military's top lawyers.
Since then, Hegseth has fired other military leaders without saying why. Most recently it was a general who led a military intelligence agency whose initial assessment of U.S. damage to Iranian nuclear sites in American strikes angered President Donald Trump.

Adding/removing "pinned statuses" to an actor
Mastodon has a concept called "featured statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.

- No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers.
- A

Oklahoma Threatens Public Schools' Accreditation Unless They Set Up Turning Point USA Chapters | Common Dreams
Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, released a video address on Tuesday saying that “every Oklahoma high school will have a Turning Point USA chapter.”
“For far too long we have seen radical leftists with the teachers unions dominate classrooms and push woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in the video posted to social media.
The state-mandated chapters of “Club America,” Turning Point’s high school program, will ensure students “understand American greatness” while enabling them to “engage in civic dialogue and have that open discussion,” said Walters.

Best practises for URL linking in sidebar
Hi,
I moderate/curate a few communities on Piefed.world:
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !turnbasedstrategy@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
I have a sidebar with links to other gaming focused communities.
Currently, the sidebar includes links using the following format:
Text Description - [!]community_name@instance
What would be the best way to make "Text Description" a direct link. I don't want to use the direct/absolute URL links since it would be instance specific. Is there a way to make the "[!]community_name@instance" the URL linked to the Text Description?
I am looking to make the sidebar less verbose. Best option is something that offers transparent compatibility across Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin.
Would I use something like
[Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com)
I believe the format above doesn't work well (I could be wrong I asked about this more than a year ago).
Cheers
I am using the 2nd example format you're showing but with the url for my wiki I'm starting on c/PoliticalCartoons and it seems to be working well enough so far.
And, the tags tag was broken. Looks like word clouds were updated! TIL
The !strategy_games@piefed.world (no square brackets needed) notation should work on both lemmy and piefed. I am not sure about mbin. Last time I checked, this didn't work, but that was a while ago.
The markdown link notation [text](https://piefed.world/c/strategy_games) won't be instance-agnostic in the same way. I don't believe there is a way to link in an instance-agnostic way while changing the text of the link.
By instance-agnostic I mean that users on other instances will be taken to the community on their own instance rather than the home instance. As an example, you, as a piefed.social user, if you clicked on !anime@ani.social, then you are taken to that community, but on piefed.social. If a user on lemmy.world clicked that link, they would be taken to that community on lemmy.world.
Without that notation, if I just made a standard markdown-formatted link:
- anime@ani.social - written as
[anime@ani.social](https://ani.social/c/anime)
...then users of other instances would always just be taken to the ani.social instance instead of staying on their own.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn't work? A markdown URL link that refers not to a URL, but to markdown notation for threadiverse non-absolute links.
I am looking to make link where the text is "Strategy Games" but the link is not a URL, but a non-absolute link that sends you to the community via your own instance.
I am OK with the current format (e.g. used in !strategy_games@piefed.world), but I prefer a cleaner non-absolute link that works in a transparent manner.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn’t work?
Correct. The markdown syntax of [text](url) doesn't work in a way that keeps people on their own instances. Also, when the part in the () is not a fully qualified url, you can get unpredictable behavior and it might behave differently for different fediverse software. Testing it now, it looks like piefed falls back on assuming it is a pointing to a post(?) but ends up just 404'ing.
It is currently not possible to customize the text of links intended to keep people on their own instances. However, I actually think that the notation you are presenting here makes a lot of sense. It might not be fully compliant with the commonmark markdown spec, but the fediverse breaks that in its own ways plenty of other places. I have done a lot of the work on the piefed markdown_to_html translation, so I might see if this could sneak into a future release. No idea if there would be buy-in from lemmy/mbin though.
Thank you for the clarification.
I do think it does make sense to support this style outlined in context of the Threadiverse. On top of that, a fallback absolute URL would also be great, albeit this is outside my pay grade. 😀

All I've said is that in my personal experience visiting China this socialist state feels more capitalist than many other countries due to the insane amount of consumerism and mass consumption.
This is due to reform and opening up in 1978 and a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power.
I'm not belittling China with these facts, I'm merely observing what has happened.
