Pour un étranger, il y a un énorme plaisir à lire les bobards réciproques de français figés dans une racisme anti-algérien et d'algeriens incapables de se construire un autre roman national en dehors de leur lutte pour l'indépendance.
Ça donne l'impression de lire deux fous bornés sur un sujet.

On social media, the #DRC Congolese, although they can be very radical and interested in a very sickly and clumsy way in Russian manipulation via Wagner, are and remain very prone to bite very easily at a representation of their imaginary in Western codes.

As an additional part of a study in anthology and communication to measure which of the Russian, Western, Chinese and West African softpowers could extend its hold on the big #DRC market, a friend has just launched 4 fake profiles on a platform.

leaving Twitter felt like leaving an abusive relationship when you realize how much terrible stuff you endure just to experience a few flecks of good
99% of the advice people give for using Bluesky amounts to “don’t willingly have a terrible experience”, and the messed up thing is that peoples experience online has gotten so bad they legitimately need to be reminded of that

The majority of #mpox cases in the DRC in the past few weeks have been children. They are more likely to get severely sick and die. But they are not eligible for the vaccines being rolled out.
