Never heard of Hexbear (kind of new around here). Why were they defederated? I'm actually on Lemmy World.

Cool, thanks for the explanation. TIL
I see yeah indeed that works! Although it looks like it only shows a subset of all votes.
I don't really see how having a nuclear base in Taiwan eliminates MAD. Similarly having 60% of the navy in the Pacific. It seems to me these mostly work well in case of a conventional conflict.
Yeah indeed strategic ambiguity has been the approach they've taken so far. If they decided to they could change the approach though. I think it's unlikely China would carry out the threat if a formal alliance was actually announced since in that case they'd be starting a world war. I think it's more likely they'd express outrage, protest and perhaps fly some fighter jets over Taiwan, take some steps short of actual war. My worry is that if the situation remains ambiguous China might conclude that the security guarantees are not real and that US would not respond. Having strong credibility there is essential for maintaining peace I think, especially if the intention is to actually respond.
Nuclear base... Talk about hyperbole. Hope the weather is nice in Beijing this August.
Yeah agree I am not sure that's a feature I'd want either tbh if it wasn't already there. But seems like it is in some form.
Ahhh right so the information is there publicly available just not in the existing clients. Interesting.
Sure I agree when it comes to admitting them to the EU. NATO is only a military defence alliance though. If they'd been in NATO this war would never have happened.
I did this. I didn't initially realize there is such a thing as instances (I thought I was joining Lemmy). Came from Reddit so didn't expect this. Now I only use my Lemmy.world account, the other one is doing nothing (should probably get around deleting it at some point).
Outright lying about the numbers is very different from just not allowing downvotes though.
Oh wow. After reading the announcement I'm glad they got defederated.
