May the world reflect on these thoughts, this ode, this homage to freedom and humanity from one of the world's great 20th Century minds, Thomas Mann. (1929 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate)
I think it's a NAFO thing, basically an online community fighting back against misinformation and the Russian war machine with memes. There might be federated examples over at #NAFO.
I guess making things appear more light-hearted makes it more likely to spread further across the Internet, thereby being a more efficient weapon against trolls and online misinformation than dry, factual statements. I still struggle a bit with the whole concept, but at the end of the day I guess it's how the Internet works and it's good that Ukraine and its supporters is using it efficiently.
A 🧵 about how I got blocked by @kevinrothrock, managing editor of @meduza_en on not 1 but 2 social media platforms. This will be a familiar tale for other #fellas in the #Fediverse, but isn't just a story of a #NAFO#ShibaInu piling on someone for an unfortunate post.
Rather I'm sharing this as a lesson for other folks who are here to follow #news about #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine. This isn't an attack on Kevin, even if I say some mean things about him, but about bias expertise & trust 1/n
