It's declining? Didn't know that. Trolling is performative, as much for the viewers as for the OP. An option to curate replies, approving or rejecting them before they're ever seen, would help IMHO. Social media is tourism: a few find a beautiful unspoiled place, word gets out, it gets spoiled

markmcan.bsky.social (@markmcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Take just one bribe from a foreign agency, say in the 80s, they'd keep proof and use that as leverage. Years later you could be handing over lists of American assets in that country, who all then disappear, making you a full-blown traitor who would face the death penalty if it were ever revealed

I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity. It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

The killer point, IMHO, is that social democracies are demonstrably compatible with the ECHR. Not only do they exist, they are also among its most vocal supporters. To a Farage, Putin or Lukashenko (!), that's obviously another reason to ditch it. To a progressive, one might expect the opposite
