A report by the US Department of State reveals that China is investing heavily in constructing a global information ecosystem to promote preferred narratives and suppress views it considers threatening. China's efforts to disseminate misinformation could reshape the global information landscape, leading to biased decision-making in favor of Beijing.

Currently, @Mastodon only offers DeepL and LibreTranslate for translations, and unfortunately, neither of them supports the Bangla language.

Bangla, also known as Bengali, is the seventh most spoken language in the world. It's spoken not only by Bangladeshis but by a broader Bengali-speaking community.

LibreTranslate relies on Argos Translate as its backend for translations. You can help add support for Bangla by voting for it in the discussion at https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate/discussions/91#discussioncomment-7077530.

I see a lot of people sharing blanket condemnations of all of those who still remain on #Twitter / #Xitter , and I need you to slow down a bit.

Sure, in some cases this is justified - journalists should really know better. But there are a lot of communities on that platform that are vital to many people's well-being that _haven't_ been replicated on the #Fediverse or elsewhere. Take #BlackTwitter - while #BlackMastodon is growing, it's still minuscule in comparison. The number of Twitter users in #Pakistan is staggering, while they are only a handful on #Mastodon . And so on, and so forth. Twitter was a lifeline to many marginalized people, and it still is - even though it gets worse every day - and we need to recognize this.

As a white European guy, it was easy for me to walk away from Twitter (I still have an account there, but I only post "you should go to Mastodon" stuff these days) - since it is easy to find people of a similar background to interact with. But this is NOT true for everyone!

So I'd like everyone to show a bit less contempt to the remaining Twitter users in general, and put some more effort in how to make the Fediverse friendlier to marginalized voices. Because there is MUCH work to be done here!
