5% for Erdoğan in Belgium, 17% in the US: How to understand the voting behaviour of the Turkish diaspora.

In Germany and other European countries, the strong support for Erdoğan inspires irritation. But not all Turkish voters in the West voted for the autocrat. Their social background is only one reason for their choices.

Great podcast episode of AWAYE!, featuring interviews with three of the contributors behind Unlimited Futures, an anthology of speculative fiction from First Nations and Black writers. Ellen van Neervan, Merryana Salem & Lisa Fuller discuss visionary fiction, colonialism, gender, spirituality, breaking boundaries, the gift of hope, & seeing yourself as possible.

Since the beginning of the war, 200,000 Russians have emigrated to Serbia and a large and diverse Russian diaspora has been living in Belgrade. Many will likely stay and change the city.

They are welcome, although often for the wrong reasons; a look at their lives.

As a big fan of #music from #Africa since the late #seventies, there's not much on #diaspora #radio I haven't already heard.

Even so, it's one of the few places I'm happy to be nostalgic. Their selection is faultless. The variety and depth show someone really knowledgeable behind the scenes.

Genuine classics and wonderful rarities make this probably the best #African radio in the world.

How a Portuguese citizenship loophole became a door into the EU.

A 2013 law was supposed to make it easier for descendants of expelled Portuguese Jews to obtain citizenship. But its loose rules allowed a lucrative business to emerge, which is now at the heart of a judicial investigation.

A nice new project is https://socialhome.network. Still very new. If I understand it correctly, it wants to become something like a home base in the Federation. I would like that. I have registered myself. You can follow me here reverendelvis@socialhome.network #socialhome #fediverse #activitypub #diaspora #matrix

The band #eraserheads is a huge influence on me and this song in particular is #music that marked a certain time in my life when I was figuring out how being #filipino in #california was something I needed to understand. “Saturn Return” live 12.22.22 in #manila #saturn #diaspora Anticipated this concert my entire adult life. Thank you wifey for the date night.

@tim If I understand correctly, Mastodon can federate with Friendica, PeerTube, Pixelfed etc. But I do not recall seeing any posts from those ActivityPub platforms. How does one go about finding/following instances/posts/hashtags from ActivityPub platforms other than Mastodon? Is this at all possible?

Looks like #diaspora and #mastodon don't talk to each other. Tried to follow my own account in mastodon, and it did not work.

Platform agnostic advice.

I was not able to recreate the community I had on #GooglePlus when it shutdown and I moved to #Diaspora, but I seem to be having better luck on moving from #Twitter to #Mastodon.
