That last paragraph doesn't work in a secret ballot system.

What language is "Fiorenza"? The city you mean is called Firenze in Italian.

exactly me, I tried to get into Twitter a few times in the late 2000s and 2010s, but never could really see the use of it; nowadays I am a regular reader of Mastodon

Reddit meanwhile I have been active on (sometimes more, sometimes less, on different accounts) since 2014, so I can't post a top-level answer here. I still enjoy forum-style communities like on Lemmy more than I enjoy microblogs, so post a lot more here than on Mastodon, but I read both regularly.

Try to establish a proper western-style liberal democratic system and culture in Russia. They have a constitution that is nominally liberal democratic, but they are so used to authoritarian rule that they can't really manage to keep it that way.

A full sentence (including a question) ought to, at the very least, have a verb in it.

I have never heard or read that name before, so I think absolutely nothing about that person. I am going to look it up after saving this comment.

People age. You don't look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.

Are you familiar with Debian and how its versions are named?

I want Lemmy to grow. I want federated ActivityPub-based communities to eventually be the general public's default way of asking and answering questions, sharing information however obscure, i.e. replace not just reddit, but most web forums, Facebook groups, etc. too. I have liked things based on open standards for all my life, and will never stop wanting them to be widely adopted.

The Watership Down rabbits removed an additional 0.1 nanometers constructing their warren, although that was mostly soil. British rabbits have historically mined very little coal; the sole rabbit-run coal plant was shut down in the 1990s.

Under quantum tax law, photons sent through a beamsplitter don't actually choose which path they took, or incur a tax burden, until their wavefunction collapses when the power is sold.
