@rBulgaria101 @Reddit This was among the reasons why feddit.bg was started, a community far from the numbers on Reddit, but is locally hosted and transparently administered. This limits the risks of such events happening in the future. Part of the fediverse: feddit.bg/c/fediverse

Искаме да насочим вниманието ви към нов български проект - Фeddit на feddit.bg. Това е социална мрежа подобна на Reddit, но фокусирана върху българската публика и изцяло администрирана от българи. В нея няма реклами, нито корпоративни или бизнес интереси. 1/2

Dear r/bulgariaeu friends, It looks like our @Reddit community is not going to be reinstated.

@nokov @bluesky Да, но и сме във федиверса. Има български инстанции, които не са изложени на рискове подобни на този тук

Имате ли вече @bluesky?

If for whatever reason you might be migrating to Instagram/Threads, keep in mind that you have the option to integrate your account with the fediverse (Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed/...) theverge.com/24107998/threa…

@rsdimitrov What you've seen is only the echo of a mere 25km of A4 between Milan and Monza. With my limited experience one of the worst bits. I didn't know you've done an erasmus at polimi.

@mapto Hilarious thread! Sadly, it is true. I’ve seen most of what you describe with my own eyes during the morning 40min trips to Politecnico. When I arrive I’d see a new student coming to lectures with bruises, a cast leg or an arm. We erasmus students started playing vespa bingo

Driving in Italy is like speaking English in a non-native speaking country. It's detrimental to your abilities (thread)

Then there are also those who do get to drive fast as they'd like surpassing everyone from the rightmost lane. Expectedly, this last category is composed mostly of sportscars. The actual fun is that plenty of van drivers are also trying to repeat that trick with limited success

@neuranna Unfortunately, it is well known that conflicts draw clicks (re. content prioritisation) and this does stick with people. Sorry, I hope this doesn't come out aggressive, but these topics _are_ related

@mapto Alas it seems that the attempts to migrate to mastodon and then bluesky have not succeeded. I guess the problem is the lack of content prioritization on their feeds and the overall clunkier design. I did try both, and it just doesn’t seem to stick with me or my communities

I am currently tagged in 2 separate ongoing threads critiquing our work. I'm not the lead on either, so I'm not as invested, but it does make me wonder... How do we foster productive & collegial scientific discourse? 1/

@vsenderov @bketelsen Not happening. So we need to move the community. Not easy, but at least doable

@bketelsen Yes, I am aware of Mastodon. I think at the moment the "selling point" of Twitter is its userbase, not the tech. It will probably be easier for Twitter Inc to open up the platform and link the existing userbase to Mastodon than for all of the userbase to wander away.

As part of my process of moving out of twitter, I've unfollowed all my contacts that are: verified accounts, marketing accounts, journalists. Given that this platform is literally broken for communication, I've lost my tolerance to people paying for it

Did he just say #MAGA have nothing to fight for. Yes, "greatest on earth", already

@bozhobg Нашите конституционни съдии, явно не са разбрали, че освен съветската съдебна система, на света съвсем успешно функционира и друга, без пагони и военна йерархия. Само за справка в какъв свят живеят: bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0…

Главният прокурор има две правомощия, които опитахме да отменим, които се прилагат спрямо дейността на всички прокурори. 1) надзор за законност 2) методическо ръководство Според Конституционния съд, без двете правомощия в техния безконтролен вид, не можело да се гарантира законосъобразното функциониране на прокуратурата.  Аз намирам това заключение за скандално и опасно. Излиза, че всички държавни органи могат да действат законосъобразно без да са свръхцентрализирано-безконтролни, само прократурата не може. blog.bozho.net/blog/4334

@Al_x4o @ViktorBlaskov @bozhobg Как какъв? Експерт на Новото време. Онова същото на Кошлуков

@ViktorBlaskov @bozhobg А какъв експерт е Цеков? Извън точенето на субсидии около референдуми, разбира се…

Виждам как конституционни фейсбук и студийни експерти коментират как идеята за забавяне на втория мандат била противоконституционна Нека да резюмирам мнението на експерти, с които аз съм говорил: Първо, излизане извън обичайната практика не прави едно действие противоконституционно. Второ, Конституцията има неписани норми, които се презюмират. Една от тях е, че в процедурата по избор на правителство водеща е необходимостта от такова. Ако някое действие, ясно заявено като обвързано с възможност за реализиране ма мандата, увеличава шансовете за формиране на правителство, то това действие е в духа на Конституцията (ако не ѝ противоречи изрично). В този смисъл, и предвид, че няма определен срок преди връчване на мандата, смятам, че действието по установяване на наличие на антикорупционно мнозинство като предварително условие за разговори за правителство не само не противоречи на Конституцията, а и изпълнява нейния дух в много трудната политическа ситуация.

I also actively maintain a Bulgarian-language account at @mapto" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">masto.bg/@mapto and an Italian-language one at feddit.it/u/mapto. The diversity of the Fediverse is one of its most beautiful parts and I'd like to contribute to it.

After seeing the quality of conversations on this platform deteriorate drastically, 've now conclusively left it and no longer check my account. Anyone who wishes to get in touch with me can find me on the Fediverse at @mapto" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">qoto.org/@mapto

All this and more, can be read and distributed (en/de/fr/it/bg) via docs.google.com/document/d/1So… We're looking for further publicity and are willing to get people in touch with local lawyers, experts, journalists, activists, for further details and opinions

Bulgaria to appoint its 5th #ProsecutorGeneral after fall of #communism. All of them eccentric, to say the least, appointed in a process that illustrates what in South European languages is known as #BulgarianVote #MaggioranzaBulgara #VotarALaBulgara (thread)

Bulgaria’s election next month is boiling down to the role of media mogul Delyan Peevski and his capacity to undermine the nation’s fragile democracy. The tycoon has come to epitomize Bulgaria’s captured state. But taking him on is no easy matter. 🔗 trib.al/Q1lTniu
