To those who have been regularly using the tags #TootSEA and #MYToots and #MakanApaToday alongside your other tags (thank you!), I can confirm that the kbin mag @magASEAN will include your posts into the microblog as long as one of those tags is the first tag on your post. You can also @ the mag (and it has to be the first @ in the post)
Until the backend changes so that the scanning will be just agnostic as other fedi protocols (which is how we can follow hashtags so well), that's the current state of things. But in any case, feel free to add yourself, as long as you have a threadiverse account (such as a Lemmy one) you can post there as well. All fedi accounts of course can follow and comment anyway (just with a little bit more friction). #SoutheastAsia#fediverse
Just want to announce: @cendawanita will be my main posting account for Malaysia and SEA newsy stuff. This is since I'll be posting to m/MagASEAN anyway (you can follow here @magASEAN but just fyi you won't see any posts anyway - kbin doesn't federate that way (yet?). This way I won't clog up my local instance feed imo.
But individual users you can see their activity like normal posts, so I'll be boosting some posts from here (but not all). I'll be posting the usual TootSEA etc stuff on the microblog if it doesn't get fetched as well. But anyone also can if you @ the mag in your first line (I'm oversimplifying)
But I'll probably set up an individual mag/sub for my website as well. I do think the linkage works much much better than the current AP bridge as cross-posting.

Melanau people are one of the major ethnic groups in Sarawak, one of the Borneo territories in Malaysia.

SOUND ON 🎧 | Excerpt from Episode 6: The Trung Sisters and the Vietnamese Rebellion of 39 AD
Meet the Trung Sisters, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, heroines of the first Vietnamese independence movement, who headed a rebellion against Chinese Han dynasty overlords and briefly established an autonomous state. Excerpt below! 👇🏾
At what point while dreaming up utopic futures where robots perform all the menial hard labor for no money leaving humanity to pursue meaningful lives of leisure writing music and making art did my parents generation fuck up and instead create the opposite
...regimes are increasing in number and in surveillance capabilities. Just take a look at the freedom of the press index as a proxy or the use of #Thiel's military app #Palantir to spy on reporters critical of the government, e.g. in #LatinAmerica or #SouthEastAsia.
And you needn't even go that far. Just take the #US: right-wing ultra-#FreeSpeech advocate #Musk...

"Given the region’s strategic importance, political stability, well-planned
economic development, and immense resources, both natural and human, many
observers of Southeast Asian Islam believe that it stands a better chance than any
other geo-cultural region of the Islamic world to play a decisive role in influencing
and shaping the twenty-first-century Islam."

Selamat Berpuasa and blessed Ramadan to Muslim friends everywhere.
I like nerding with notes, languages, philosophy, reading non-fic, #solarpunk, #Dimension20, exploring non-d&d #rpg systems, waterfalls, poems, playlists, #cats. I have an admin job that inspires me to pay attention to intersections of #tech, #climate, #gender, & #rights in the #globalSouth.
Hi! Sarissa here ✨✨ finally coming back home to this server so here's another #introduction post: I'm an independent researcher and uni staffer newly based in #Nottingham 🇬🇧. I'm #trans 🏳️⚧️ (she/they), I love #horror (watch Incantation!!) and my ideals are a confluence of #anarchism 🏴, #Buddhism ☸️, #Daoism ☯️ and #prefigurativism 🌅.
I know some people are saying that #Mastodon is "too white" but honestly I have found my #Malaysian and #SouthEastAsia peeps just fine. Because there aren't that many of us, it's like how we Malaysians act when we bump into each other in a foreign country. 😆 Like we're long lost family or something.
We're used to existing in Western-dominated social media & I guess we don't make a deal out of it.
Besides, I like reading up on white perspectives too.
