Exactly. The fourth cosmonaut in space was Ukrainian.

The real question should be whether those votes added to another song could have changed its position. If so, its presence was detrimental to every other participant.

Yes, my reddit activity is pretty much limited to that now. I don’t want to abandon the community.

I run a community of over 11K almost by myself on reddit and I can’t say I struggle to moderate it. Here on Lemmy I post to one I set up, but I’m the only one doing it. That said, I saw virtually no moderation tools, so it would definitely help to have something. However, I don’t want my posts to get lost or be spread across two or more communities, as opposed to having everything searchable in one place. What would be the technical obstacle in copying the posts and preserving the dates? If size is an issue, they could be capped to a specific size, only with the metadata transferred in those cases.

Exactly, though I’d also contest the notion of gaming OSTs being “often overlooked”. Best Score and Music and its previous iterations have been a category at The Game Awards since 2014.

There is other English language songs in the contest, so if I follow that logic, we should ban them too.

If that were my only argument, then sure. And there are even more factors at play than I mentioned, like the fact that Lemmy’s biggest community is Technology, meaning that there is the added advantage of that for a gaming-related topic.

If this is merely for fun, why associate with Eurovision at all? Why have any voting? Just have a sub for highlighting music.

Edit: And there are communities that do just that.

Still not a nation. I think it’s against more than one rule. It being allowed to bypass the language requirement also makes it easier to win since most of the Lemmy users appear to be English speakers, so voting for a song you can understand without the need to translate is a given.

Gaming soundtracks should have their own contest, with all the relevant communities informed so that they can propose and vote.

That’s not right. The same rules have to apply to everyone. If one community is allowed, then every other one should have been invited to participate.

Is Programming.Dev suddenly a country?

The data is available. See this article - it’s a Google link.

AOSP keyboard also supports swipe typing when the right library is in place, but I don’t think you can get it without flashing a new ROM or via root access.

They use the Signal protocol for e2ee.

So what’s the benefit of this over blending in each time?

They won’t. For most of its history, Russia has been ruled by dictators. Democracy is viewed as chaotic and unpredictable.

We can only speculate. Many have used those without issues for years.

I didn’t say they always do it. I said they can, and they do sometimes. Happened to a close friend of mine after she logged in via Ripcord, though it may be unrelated.

Discord can outright block you from using it if it decides to ask to connect a phone number post-registration.

Not at all. He literally invested in keeping same-sex marriage outlawed, so to him it’s clearly important to be able to control people’s private lives.
