Makes me wonder just how many are active users

MAU means “monthly active users”. As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.

@SuperSpecialNickname
You cannot log in to beehaw.org with you lemmy.ml account, but you can react to beehaw’s content form lemmy.ml.
Just paste the url of the beehaw post or comment that you want to interact with (vote, comment) in lemmy.ml’s search bar.

So, to summarize:
- you browse beeehaw while being offline
- you copy the url of the post or comment you want to interact with (under the colored fediverse icon)
- you paste it in lemmy.ml’s search and normally you will find it

Late to the party, but I think that it would indeed be great to spark some activity in here !
Maybe systematically posting about new chapters of every ongoing manga would be spammy. A good start would be to have one post by ongoing manga, then discussion about the few that will spark the commu’s interest. If there’s too many of them, maybe the most popular ones can get their own communities eventually

Indeed you did repeat it a couple of times.

You never highlighted a source for that single claim though. Nor for the one that the Maidan government had plans to join NATO.

On the other hand you provided a source that explicitly denies those statements that you claim it contributes proving.

What is particularly ridiculous is that to a comment sourcing the claim that the Maidan revolts were caused by the aborted EU deal, you replied by citing the above article that agrees with @Ninmi 's point that you thought it disproved.

Please, help me understanding what I poorly comprehend in

US officials, unhappy with the scuttled EU deal, saw a similar chance in the Maidan protests.

It’s an overstatement to say, as some critics have charged, that Washington orchestrated the Maidan uprising. But there’s no doubt US officials backed and exploited it for their own ends.

You did link a ton of documents, and I have not found yet the ones supporting that claim (does not help that you did not single them out). In fact, the article that we are discussing here, who as I highlighted explicitly states the opposite, was part of that ton of documents.

It is the second time that you use this document to support what it denies.

“participating” means “actively working”, how is this wordplay contradicting my comment?

Not my point, I never said the US did not participate.

US officials, unhappy with the scuttled EU deal, saw a similar chance in the Maidan protests.

Your source states very clearly that the US did not orchestrate the Maidan protests, and that its involvement was due to the aborted EU-deal.

Nothing in there about the Maidan government wanting to join NATO, aside from one reference to Putin’s paranoia about it :

After Putin moved to secure the Crimean naval base from NATO control

Indeed, the article referenced in this sentence says:

“Our decision on Crimea was partly due to … considerations that if we do nothing, then at some point, guided by the same principles, NATO will drag Ukraine in and they will say: ‘It doesn’t have anything to do with you.’”

So, according to your source, Crimea was not annexed in reaction to Ukraine giving up its neutrality, but in prevision of it.

I agreed a priori, which, as you probably guessed, is exactly why I put that parenthesis 😀 But I think in practice the starting point already is too complex. For example, I opened inkscape and saved the empty image, the result is already more than 1KB. Similarly, Lemmy’s very simple logo is already 3KB.

I didn’t know there was an actual limit to the size of a QR code, but as we see a big problem with (raster) images is that the QR code rapidly becomes much more complex than the image itself

I find it a bit strong to basically equate a liberal defending their liberal opinions using mainstream media sources with impersonators poblicly spamming defecation pictures …
