My mastodon accounts:

  • @kjr (Mostly) in English
  • @kjr in Hebrew
Direct message

But it doesn’t work for every instance… don’t ask why.
The two instances of Mastodon in which I have my accounts are not reachable through this way

https://kbin.social/d/babka.social
https://kbin.social/d/hed.im

But people from those instances follow my kbin account (and opposite) … thus they are federated with kbin and the federation does work.

Other domains like facebook or twitter should not be accessible, but they are and the results are not really good…

@clb92 that sounds like less privacy for citizens, and more easy ways to work for organized mafias.

@Ronno No really, if I understood well the proposal is not that every channel will have a backdoor. Probably that is a request only for citizens, and maybe most companies, but I don’t think that it will apply to banks, finance institutions or to the state.
Or maybe I misunderstood something… I’m not sure.

@luna I was wondering why the name is weird. Maybe because I am not an English native speaker, but I don’t find it not or less weird than lemmy or twitter…

@PabloDiscobar hi, just a problem of understanding. What do you mean with “american soft power leaking in every sub”?

@DarkGamer what it will be difficult will be to absorb into Russian forces the teams of Wagner deployed in other countries, especially African countries. They have been deployed as private contractors working for the local government or for local rebel groups. But… as part of the Russian Army that is diplomatically unsustainable (only exception Syria, since Russia is present there).

@chaogomu Right:

  • Putin’s regime looks weak… to negotiate with a private company to avoid that their attack the capital of the country (a private company, not the NATO, not a bit terror organization) looks not really good.
  • The Russian army doesn’t seem to be able to defend the Russian territory from the incursion of an organized armed force (able to occupy in hours a town with more than one million inhabitants)
  • Wagner doesn’t look now as a company in which future stakeholders can trust, and trust is the base of the work of contractors.

I think it is embarrassing for everyone involved.

@endlessvoid And what is the goal? Now the results after the performance looks like;

  • Putin and the actual regime are weak: armed contractors leave their positions, enter in national territory and occupied a bit town without that the army is able to stop them. At the end and for the first time Putin’s regime negotiates publicly with an oppositional illegal armed force inside its territory. Result: the regime show weakness.
  • Wagner as a contractor leaves the places in the line of combat and revolts against their actual employer: Result: Wagner cannot be trusted by future employers.
  • Since Prigozhin is not more in Russia/Ukraine, and it has been exiled, the command chain and control on Wagner is not more stable. At the same time the Russian Army doesn’t seem able to take control of it, at least outside of Russia/Ukraine. Which control does now Russia have about the contracts in Syria, Africa, etc?

To be a theater… it doesn’t seem to have a goal. Everyone seems here to be a loser: Wagner not more a successful company, Putin not more the head of a strong regime, the Russian army not more able to defend their territory against a armed force (worse, against a private company, not even a country or a terror organization).

For me more than a theater it looks like symptoms of decadence.

@shishmish And how they leave their place and arrive to Russia? Russian airports and sky are at the moment under governmental control. And I don’t think that Syria will take part on the conflict organizing flights to Wager.
