Came here to say that. I wasn’t covered by GDPR under spez’s site - but luckily their policies treated me like I was anyways.
I moved to kbin.social - which was probably the 2nd largest after lemmy.world. Also, it was Polish.
What I liked about that was - as per my understanding - since these are hosted in the EU, the GDPR applies to my data here even if I’m not the EU myself and am not an EU citizen.
A difference between kbin (and mbin?) vs lemmy (and pyfedi) - the former would show the entire name, including instance. If instance was not included, it was because it was local (so you could assume ‘@kbin.social’)
On lemmy/pyfedi the name shows up alone - though you can hover over and see the instance name. But at a glance I can see how someone could get confused. Not the best UX IMHO.
What surprises me is that these seem to be all on other instances - including a few big ones like just.works - rather than someone spinning up their own instance to create unlimited accounts to downvote/spam/etc.
This is deeply disturbing. The linked article itself links to a reuters one, https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-greets-chinas-xi-kremlin-2025-05-08/
Military ties?? Combine that with the “root causes” statement and the logical conclusion is …
China as a country was officially neutral, even as individuals sometimes made choices that we’d disagree with, https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/10/china-rejects-claims-it-is-aware-its-citizens-are-fighting-in-ukraine-as-irresponsible
But now the leaders of China are the ones being irresponsible. How could anyone support Russia’s position against Ukraine and be against a peaceful resolution?
