The app has been broken for me for the whole week now

No, it wouldn't. The Beehaw server is located in the United States. External communities aren't retrieved via your machine, but via their server.

I'm a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We've been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I'm probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.

They explicitly told me in Matrix to not write that, so I just wrote two paragraphs summarizing the two posts they linked in the application guide.

It works the same as Apollo. You have to tap the text at the very top of the screen (be it the current community name, "All Posts", "Subscribed", etc.) and then you should be able to search for any communities tracked in the cache of your instance.

It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

You'd be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years...

Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection...

As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.

All the users and communities registered there will cease being able to connect to the rest of the network, but the data should still be cached on all the other servers.

I oppose dehumanization in all its forms, and despite being Ukrainian I have always been mindful of the humanity in this war.

With that said, the overwhelming majority of the "orc" comments that I've seen are directed not towards Russian civilians, but towards Russian combatants. Indeed, on that note Russians have been calling Ukrainians much worse things from day 1 on Russian social media, so if anyone is being dehumanized (and this is coming someone who reads Russian better than Ukrainian) I'd say it's more so Ukrainians by the Russian side, but I digress.

Name calling aside, I think it's incredibly dishonest to term the rooting and supporting for Ukraine as "jingoism" when that word describes what has been happening in Russian society for the past year far more appropriately. The American invasion of Iraq was bad and jingoist rhetoric was used to justify it, yes, but the exact same has been happening in Russia to a far more extreme degree during this war.

How can you ignore that while denouncing mere name-calling on social media and passive support in the war from the side of the West?

"Common narrative" in regards to the war in general or Bakhmut specifically? Because @FaceDeer@lemmy.ml sure as hell is right about the former..
