Among organizers, I see CodePink, those whose definition of peace is to disarm a country being invaded. Once the Cubans grow more strength to protect themselves against imperialism (any camp), folks like these will be quick to throw them under the bus.

Do they attack more often or has the police started to take the right wing more seriously and track more cases? Here they still do absolutely nothing, usually blaming the assaulted person for what they call provoking veterans, or redirecting the person through an infinite bureaucratic maze.

To fellow Ukrainians who haven't realized this yet: migrants are not "they", it's our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make "illegals" out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let's build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.

Yes, setting up YunoHost on a new Debian VPS was a couple of commands, and having it install Synapse and Element was a few clicks in the UI plus a lot of waiting.

However. I thought of Element as an alternative to Slack or Telegram the way OP thinks of it as an alternative to Discord. I was wrong. Element competes with IRC. This is the only platform from which I've seen actual groups of people (FOSS projects) switch to Matrix. I think Matrix focuses on different usage needs than Discord, and trying it with willing Discord users will be an interesting exercise in seeing what perspectives they bring and what issues that raise, but the solution to their problem will be somewhere outside Matrix, and it will be in somewhat distant future, not with the current state of FOSS tools.
