Trump’s so-called peace deals are falling apart fast, and it’s no surprise. While he brags about ending eight wars and blames Zelensky for blocking his “biggest breakthrough,” the truth is simpler, he strong-arms sides into shaky truces without fixing the real issues. From Gaza to Congo to Thailand, violence keeps flaring up.
It's not peace, it's PR.

Per 80 anni l'abbiamo creduto un T-Rex adolescente. Sbagliato. Due studi su Nature e Science dimostrano che il Nanotyrannus era adulto: 700 kg, agile, veloce. Cacciava fianco a fianco con il gigante da 8 tonnellate. L'analisi dell'osso della gola ha chiuso 8 decenni di dibattito. Il Cretaceo era più affollato e competitivo di quanto pensassimo.

Re: I'm getting a lot of "please use the Mastodon report function to tell us about the Russian disinformation accounts we are hosting".
iftas@mastodon.iftas.org admin@hear-me.social we get that crap a lot too, but we have a post queue that catches the first post for any account. (NodeBB, not Mastodon)
It does unfortunately increase workload, and spammers are starting to use AI to craft innocuous messages to get past manual detection, but it might be the next needed step.
@julian since these bots follow a fixed pattern (silence for a few days, temporary IP addresses, email domains, etc.), I tend to suspend them on Mastodon as a precaution. Mastodon's advantage is its appeal mechanism, which works very well.
On Friendica, the situation is less straightforward, because there's no appeal: the suspension can't be revoked, and while it's possible to block an account without suspending it, there's no communication channel between the user and the administrator.
On Lemmy, things are even stranger: lately, we've had several users register but don't post anything. I believe these are manual registrations by actors trying to manage their accounts with the Mastodon APIs... In any case, even though Lemmy lacks a post-ban communication channel, the measures are revocable.
On NodeBB, however, I'm not prepared. Our citiverse.it is still small and in six months we haven't had any moderation problems, but honestly I don't even know if there is a system for appeals and ban revocation.
