In case you’re wondering why the Turkish people “reelected” Erdoğan it’s for the same reason Americans would be “reelecting” President DeSantis after 20 years of rule.
(And in case you’re thinking “term limits”, realise that Turkey has term limits too. He was prime minister first, then president, and then he changed the constitution to make it into a presidential system which he argued reset the clock on the presidential term limit…)
I was wondering where were the Indians on mastodon ? 🤔 I searched for a local instance for Indians on mastodon, but couldn’t find any. Then I discovered they are using these hashtags: #mastindia#mastindian#mastodonindians
#MastIndia : is it possible for people still on #Bigsocial (such as instagram) to try and get the indian LGBTQ+ community pages on there to also set up pages on #pixelfed and #mastodon and help them understand the #fedi ?
Indian Govt. has removed the disability related questions from the upcoming National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6, Commencing from Jul-1).
Disability related questions are crucial to understand the state of disabled people in India and to formulate necessary policies for providing better quality of life to everyone.

Boost and pass this information to journalists and others who care about human rights.
Indian origin Hindu guy who considers himself white and admires Nazi ideology crashes a truck into the white house to seize power.
Friends from SEA, do you have elite upper class people like these who consider themselves white and not Asian?
Btw... this is not the first instsnce of an upper caste Indian claiming "whiteness". There have been court cases by men requesting white status as early as pre first world war days.
@mastodonindians Software Freedom Law Center, India is challenging the ban of free and open source software apps that protect user privacy through encryption and federation in the High Court of Kerala.
@mastodonindians Of course, the savarna elites would find giving proportionate share to India's majority, who belong to the lower strata of Hindu caste system, as majoritarian and unconstitutional. When you uplift the downtrodden majority against the oppressing minority, it is called JUSTICE and not majoritarianism.
Daughter of daily wager scored 600/600 in the 12th grade board exams in Tamizhnadu.
Thank goodness she studied commerce, Because she wouldn't probably have translated this success on NEET (Medical Entrance Test) if she had chosen science.
Because, Entrance test coaching are for the privileged and hence Tamizhnadu people & govt. opposes NEET for social equity.
Hey #MastIndia, i remember when this hashtag became a thing, a lot of non-sanskrit derivative language users raised a concern that the tag does not represent the whole of india quite well and is north-india-centred.
Are there any other tags except this and #MastodonIndians that we are using to connect with each other?
I love how no one in #India seems concerned that the government (officially atleast) banned major #encrypted communication tools, or has any idea how little the option it leaves for the citizens and #journalists that might otherwise have some tools to use to secure their #privacy from abusive #corporations and the current #fascist regime.
guys, please start advocating people to get on signal/xmpp/matrix for their own good in this increasingly fascist environment. Even if your friends dont agree, the word needs to get out asap, nothing is a rhetoric anymore. Everyone in this group already has seen whats happening inside and outside our countries and how persecutions are pursued.
the best places to start can indeed be within your family. With some exceptions as family members suffering from personality disorders, people can be talked to on this subject productively and proper measures could be taken (2/2)
This means we can finally get a repairable smartphone in India, Since #fairphone & #pine64 devices are never coming here.
With un-lockable bootloader, It seems viable for #LineageOS & #postmarketOS hacking; Unisoc T606 chipset is bit concerning though. Any thoughts @joelselvaraj ?
The only reason I haven't still deleted my Twitter account is because its the Customer Care portal in India, Corporates here give a 💩 only when calling them out in the public.
Is there any other alternative? Frankly, I don't want Mastodon to be that; Less corporates the better.
Does the other septic tank - LinkedIn serve this purpose? I mean we could technically call out the CEO on it but it would quickly get buried in the narcissism cesspool of posts.
"We do not use tomato sauce to make rolls. Only chilly sauce is recommended. However customers are requested not to insist for chilly sauce while making our exclusive kati kabab rolls."
