#snac2 allows for translations via .po files and on my instance I've used it to replace status action buttons' captions with colour emojis — makes the UI a bit nicer on a phone.
For favourite, boost and bookmark I've used the set that I already use in my BloatFE and the rest are just initial rough ideas — which, I have to admit, aren't perfect: crossed out speaker and crossed out bell, garbage bin and big red cross are a bit confusing as to what they might mean — we'll see if I can come up with something better.
And I've also brought back Mastodon's famous "toot" button. Yes, the one with the elephant 😏

Military spending is the perfect example of harmful growth.
Warfare increases the GDP growth of the economy, while resulting in negative use values in the long run.
If you consider these worthy electors as unable to look after their own interests themselves, how is it that they know how to choose for themselves the shepherds who must guide them? And how will they be able to solve this problem of social alchemy, of producing the election of a genius from the votes of a mass of fools?

Now in 2025, we are painfully reminded that the British Empire created this monster known as Israel to begin with.
“We are confident that this unlawful order will be overturned. As United Nations experts have made clear, spraying red paint and disrupting the British-based operations of Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems, is not terrorism.
The terrorism and war crimes are being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people – armed and enabled by this government.”

“We commend the Counter Terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gaza and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it.”

“This is worse than Putin’s Russia. I don’t say that lightly. It’s 10 years for doing what we’re doing today in Russia; it’s 14 years in the UK.”

PSYCHOPATHE A ENFERMER... VITE!
Dans son discours aux armées de ce 13 juillet, afin de détourner nos regards de son incompétence, son inculture, sa bassesse et la catastrophe qu'il promet à la #France, E. #Macron a dit entre mensonges et folie :
"Jamais depuis 1945, la liberté n’avait été si menacée"...
Il a raison!
Jamais depuis la seconde guerre mondiale et peut-être même avant nous n'avons eu à la tête de l’État pire traître à la nation. Jamais nous avons eu pire manipulateur prêt à inventer n'importe quel problème pour mieux nous terroriser avec des solutions qui n'ont aucun lieu d'être.
Jamais nous n'avons eu une caste politique aussi lâche quel que soit son bord et un état-major de nos armées aussi inexistant qui n'auront montré que soumission à ce fou qui nous mène au chaos.
Macron, si jamais depuis 1945 la liberté n’a été si menacée, c'est bien parce que c'est toi qui menace notre liberté!
J'espère que nous t'arrêterons, te jugerons et t'enverrons casser des cailloux dans un pénitencier jusqu'à la fin de tes jours!
