I think what you got mixed up is the software side and moderation. You can use the same software as .ml and have nothing to do with it. It's called instance and there are many. This isn't just front end. There are different front ends (apps, web, ...) as well but that's a different story.
You are on pawb.social as you most certainly already know. That's hosted and handled by different people than .ml. It's just the same software and the software isn't the problem
And since the software is free, no one profits from it. As an instance, it can choose to federate with .ml and even if (as my instance does, don't know about yours), there is no guilt by association in my opinion. Being federated means you can see their content and they see yours but yours is moderated by your mods alone.
So they technically aren't forks since the software is the same but they are still handled by different people because they are exact copies software side. I hope that makes it clearer.
Is this implies that same sex sexuality began with primates, it's wrong. It's found in so many other species, including swans and penguins which aren't even mammals
Lamarck wasn't the first to come up with a theory of evolution and Darwin wasn't right about the mechanism.
Charles Darwin's grandfather already had a theory of evolution and arguably, even he wasn't the first.
Charles Darwin wasn't aware of genes. His idea of inheritance was basically the same as Lamarck's. Only when Darwin and Mendel were combined, the "modern" theory of evolution was born, the "new synthesis" or something it's called.
The reason we single out these two isn't that one was first and one was right, neither was. It's because of the Great Man of History idea. We could talk about Wallace, how he was on the same path as Darwin but Darwin published first to outcompete him. But we don't because we like to believe in great thinkers who singlehandedly changed the world.
That's basically my whole point and I elaborated on it in other comments already. Western imperialism is bad, no doubt about that, but hearing it from another imperial power, well, that's whataboutism
as opposed to the USSR literally just developing part of the Union.
That's literally the narrative all colonizers use. "The white man's burden" to force their culture onto others and build infrastructure to move natural resources to the imperial core. The form of colonialism changed from Tsarist Russia to the USSR to post-Bolshevik Russia but resource extraction is one common denominator and that's what the post is about
That makes it harder. 7 is the limit of Balto-Slavic languages but I know that one Baltic language used to have more, loaned from Estonian or something, but lost them over time. So my guess is your local dialect preserved one? Otherwise I have no clue. I think modern Indo Aryan languages have less, Semitic languages have 2 genders and I don't know how many cases. I could rule out some more to show off but not much.
So because Russian colonies still aren't independent, it isn't international? You're technically right, there is no national boarder in between.
It isn't whataboutism to point out when one imperial power shits on another one for being imperial. If anything, the Soviet poster is whataboutism. And I upvoted the post because I agree with it, just wanted to give more context.
