We have no centralized prison where all the torture happens there. Instead, all of our prisons are torturous. We even have a place in Riyadh called Al-deerah square, or lovingly referred to by the locals as Chop Chop square, where we behead people publicly. And as i said in another comment, “terrorism” charges can be as mild as leaving the religion.

Many such cases of people being tortured or even killed in different prisons: Abdullah al Hamid, Loujain al Hathloul, Nimr al Nimr, Ali Mohammed Baqir al Nimr, Dawoud al Marhoon.

No one was saying that?

I’m arab and even everyone that i know agrees the Ba’athists are straight up arab fascists.

Accelerationism. Literally everybody but them understands this is a fucking stupid idea.

This even happens every US election season, a lot of them think the worse candidate will bring on the glorious revolution™! and finally bring them a communist utopia. Never happens, because they do nothing to even advance their own cause lmao.

Most countries don’t actually care. These countries are valuable to them in resources and power, and will keep funding them. Even beacons of “democracy” will fund terrorists and human rights abusers, so long as the oil and power keeps flowing in their pockets, such as France and the RSF, the US and most countries to the Gulf states + Israel, and more.

I’m a closet atheist. In my country, apostasy is punishable by death. Thus, me being closeted.

I [unfortunately] was born and live in Saudi, it’s a little hard to do that when you are at the heart of the country you are trying to boycott.

When i said there is nothing we can do here, i meant it. Protesting is illegal, and considered terrorism. Fuck, even just criticizing the monarchy is a death sentence.

We are one of the least democratic states in the world, and defining saudi as a fascist monarchy is only a matter of semantics of this point.

The presidential system is the most defunct form of democracy. Direct/parliamentary democracy is way better.

After your first post, i’ve thought about your points, and i’ve changed my opinions a little.

I agree, we should replace the default lemmy UI as a whole. Out with it. But photon wasn’t designed to be a “default” UI. It was designed as an alternative.

The point of a default UI is to be as accessible as possible, yet still functional. That’s why most users on the fediverse usually use a 3rd party client (Including me, i use photon + raccoon on mobile). While the current lemmy UI checks the “performance” box, the functionality box? not so much. It feels like everytime i use it i am overwhelmed with information density, and the auto expand feature implementation is just bad. Photon does the opposite. It checks the functionality box, but scratches the performance box. Even on a modern PC, photon is choppy for me, and the frosted glass effect is not helping.

I don’t think we should have a default lemmy UI, as in, every instance uses the same UI. As i said in the first post, it should be up to the instance maintainer to choose their own UI. This comes with its own problems. Lemmy.world’s photon is outdated, and so is lemdro.id.

Ultimately, this is in the hands of the instance maintainers, and Xylight himself. He is rewriting photon for more performance, so my answer may change.

Literally doesn’t even matter what they call themselves. Russia and Iran are blatantly capitalist, authoritarian states yet they still support them, lmao. They’re idiots, not even the useful type.

Bluesky may be a circle-jerk, but at least it isn’t a literal neo nazi platform. We still have a ways to go till the fediverse goes mainstream.
