Former US Assistant Secretary of Defence Larry Korb analysed Trump’s contradictory Iran stance, noting his Truth Social post floated "regime change" after initially denying it as a goal.
Korb suggested Trump wants "to have it both ways" – claiming success in striking nuclear sites while keeping options open for escalation.

IN THE WORKS:
NEW "Monsters is a Teacup/Coffee Mug" artworks! 😀
Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

One of the big conceptual questions that's unresolved in the #Fediverse is: Just what exactly is an instance for?
Yep, it's a separate installation of server software. But what exactly does instance 1 give me compared to instance 2?
Answer A: it makes no difference except on policy: who runs it, what are their TOS, moderation policy etc. The Local feed has no significance.
Answer B: Beyond that, it defines a community. The local feed is essential.
Which should it be?

Steve I think that model works great for some.
But I actually do think it a plus for others that if you were way into Jazz, you could join @jazztodon.com and be among fellow afficianodos as well as being an onramp to the Fedi.

in reply to Aaron • • •@hosford42 @steve @tchambers @tommi fwiw there was a time that people do choosed email servers based in community. Having an email from certain university, or linux user group, or hobbies maho@jazzworld.com if like jazz) was a thing.
And people did moved from email providers because moderation, if certain provider had a better spam management people moved to that. I would say that was one of the reasons gmail won over hotmail (and storage).

tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks.
I prefer B myself, of course.

depends on our goals. depends on the software. communities (social networking) or public conversation (social media). both?
to me, mastodon rn is about replicating original twitter. the universal civic/cultural forum. answer A.
but then why be decentralized? because centralization concentrates power which breaks the whole system.
long-term, we need most using software that does all the basics w servers based on locality. add features for local community needs.
Tim Chambers
in reply to william.maggos • • •@wjmaggos @julian @tommi
My point: there isn't just one "fediverse wide proper goal" and there need not be.
For some communities its goal is to be it's own focused cadre of folks on more or less one topic for others its more general and mixed use and not one thing, more or less a ton of general things.
And both are fine.
william.maggos
in reply to Tim Chambers • • •@tchambers @julian @tommi
but isn't a server usually either primarily publicly facing or internal? part of the public conversation or focused on serving a community? I think that's the major distinction, lining up with answer A or B. Twitter was the former while Facebook was the latter, primarily.
I think most people prefer the latter, connecting with people they know but not having a public persona. thus the usage stats. but the former now existing has serious repercussions in society.
