Rottnest! I never trusted those feckin Quokkas!

Would it be possible to create a tag for these certain users who have demonstrated an insincere and clear propagandist-line in their approach to posting?

So, i don’t think blocking them would help, just a game really of whack’a’mole, but if a prominent warning label like,

Account has been identified as a likely State actor

If it could be placed at the top of any posts these users make to AZ communities, it at least gives other users a heads up that this isn’t a normal post, alerting them to the insincere campaign of influence. I don’t even think these account holders would mind something like that, they don’t seem to care about disguising their campaigns.

Okay, if Russians are doing this, lets do something the UK and the USA have inexplicably not done in recent years, investigate then, then, then take… proportionate action.

Mind blowing advice, I know.

One way is to deliver more fuckin military hardware to Ukraine. Maybe we could hand them some of those new ghost shark subs? ^(I don’t know if thats possible regards how they might be controlled)^

Tried it. Your review seems pretty on point. Its creamier, or less salty, than Cadbury.

Ah fuck, what a great and interesting bunch of people!

All over…

Its been two or three years now since i dipped out, the way you describe using the ‘don’t recommend’ and ‘not interested’ options seems to have a clearer result than when i last used them. If they’ve changed that functionality in the meantime i’m glad.

Yeah, some of peoples suggestions here are good. I liked that user who only looks at their subscribed channels tab, if i ever go back maybe i’d try that. Though the only youtuber i miss is adamsomething, one day i might jump onto his patreon.

I loved old mate flag bearer in the high-vis at the Brisbane march footage. He didn’t need anyone else there, his day was all about that flag.

Man foi is continually being rolled back. Ots the kind of thing that i’m not sure politicians should have control over. A bit like elections, or monetary policy.

I suppose one difference is that its sonewhat self policing, no Party should want to get rid of it completely, because they rely on that mechanism to attack the Party in power. But wheres the line on that, and if overwhelming majoritys/senators are convinced to make a reduction in access its almost impossible to see it rolled back.

What Jordan?

I’m fairly sure he means the other crime linked guy on that podcast jordan references in the video

Yep!

Only thing i’d say is just because someone is a former criminal, it shouldn’t on that alone, preclude them from being hired by the ABC.

Heres an interesting side by side

• Friendlyjordies gets crickets when someone fire bombs his house, was there even police lrotection after that?

And,

• Woodside CEO gets two dozen cops as ‘protection’ when four Disrupt Burrup protestors plan a morning protest at her house.

Different States, sure, but begs the question, are cops in this country deploying their resources in the most effective ways to bring down crime? Or are there other motives like protect the powerful?

I know its an old example, but its never sat well with me that they needed ~24 cops for some protestors they already had under surveillance, had a fair idea of their plans, and were known to be peaceful but disruptive.

Holy shit. Thats getting intense, maybe the cops and ABC should pull their finger out their arses.

So did a dinosaur eat the server?

Sometimes I think China does this stuff to do us a favour with the Americans, isn’t Albanese in Washington now? Didn’t something very similar happen another time we had something big going on with the yanks?

Largely agree with this article, in fact the issue it covers is a driver behind why i choose AZ over commercial social media, that distance from the coercive social media controls and closeness to the owner of this social media afforded by AZ is something to be valued. In my opinion.

My only problem with the article is a quiet assumption that I think is highly debatable. Have we ever truly been a sovereign nation? I’d maybe argue the same case differently, that we have reached a scale as a nation now that some form of harder sovereignty, than we have claimed thus far, can realistically be considered.

Go find evidence that satisfies whatever arbitrary bar you’ve set yourself.

Yeah, that’ll be incorrect.

😂

That was my initial thoughts, although after reading, i get the idea that the crowd just found it a bit disrespectful. Its interesting, because i could go either way on this. Does it come down to how wrestlers are defined?

Sports people > Entertainers = Fine and normal in sports for participants to have their anthems played.

Sports people < Entertainers = Disrespectful to the country the performers are touring in.

Cheers, I’m well aware. Doesn’t mean i’m not going to call IKT out on their racism, especially when they cross from personal feelings into misrepresentations.
