Don’t forget about #Ukraine right now.

Yes, the situation with #Israel and #Palestine needs our attention.

But at the same time, fully forgetting about other active wars going on in the world is a mistake.

As this piece states:
“The Kremlin meanwhile has domestic reasons to welcome a war farther from Russia’s borders. With Russian presidential elections slated for March, the Kremlin has been looking for a diversion from the war in Ukraine.“

@mariyadelano Usually 1+1 = 2 … Kremlins close ties with the mullahs in Tehran has proved itself during the war in Ukraine

Remember, people of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon:

One of the reasons we wanted an algorithm-free social network was because we know how damaging the algorithmic news cycle can be.

News of the day push everything else out of public consciousness, only to fade into nothingness at the end of a news cycle.

Don’t buy into that. Don’t let the mainstream media focus on only urgent news of the day and the current “most important” conflict distract you from thinking about all the other issues.

You can engage with the current crisis in #Israel and #Palestine without forgetting about the rest of the world.

Remember #Ukraine. Remember #ClimateChange. Remember #AI. Remember the #WorkerStrikes. Remember #Trump. Remember #Iran. Remember #Afghanistan.

The world outside of that corner of the Middle East has not stopped. So many other people and causes need your help, your attention, your fury.

Don’t take the easy way out, I beg you.

To add onto that, you can always share what is most important to you.

White guys might not know about black women's issues if we never hear about them, just as an example.

The fights for Trans Rights and Ukraine don't end just because Israel is blowing up.

Even fluff and good news is a welcome break from horror. You got married, you got pregnant, you got a new PS5? Share it.

The Fediverse has algorithms. For now, the most popular one is "simple chronological" but it's not the only one.

It's possible to build all kinds of other algorithms and tweak and apply them per instance or per user. I look forward to seeing the results.

My only wish is that control remains with the users, not with the owner of some platform.
