I feel like the reason [#Mastodon](https://kbin.social/tag/Mastodon), and the [#Fediverse](https://kbin.social/tag/Fediverse) at large, aren't taking off has to do with the fact that they're *actually in c/fediverse@kbin.social

@Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.

I'm curious why this recent trend isn't visible in Google Trends? I watched the November exodus unfold in real time there. This time not a glimmer of activity

Russia gathers over 100,000 soldiers on the Lyman-Kupiansk axis in c/worldnews@lemmy.world
[–] Sam_uk@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russia is concentrating "more than 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 555 artillery systems, 370 MLRS" in the Lyman-Kupiansk direction, according to Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Eastern Military Command.

Cherevatyi said on television on July 17 that Ukrainian soldiers are currently holding the defense.

Kupiansk was liberated in Ukraine's surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast in September 2022. Lyman, in Donetsk Oblast, was liberated just weeks later. https://kyivindependent.com/military-4/

@trynn Just looking again it does now seem to work on Kbin. I'll do a bit more testing and maybe edit the list if it works.

Ukraine holds disaster drills amid fears Russia could sabotage nuclear power plant (abcnews.go.com)
 

Amid fears Russia might blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine has been holding drills to prepare emergency services with how to deal with a potential radioactive disaster.

ABC News was invited to the drills in the city of Zaporizhzhia this week, about 30 miles from the plant, where firefighters in hazmat gear simulated decontaminating people from radiation during an evacuation.

Emergency workers demonstrated scanning civilians with Geiger counters as they disembarked buses, stripping some civilians and hosing them with water as they lay on stretchers. Firefighters in yellow suits sprayed down vehicles and moved them through a large washer system rigged up between fire trucks.

Rioters assault home of French mayor, injure his wife (www.reuters.com)
 

PARIS, July 2 (Reuters) - Rioters ram-raided the home of a Paris suburb mayor, set the car alight and launched fireworks at his wife and young children as they fled during a fifth night of nationwide unrest over Tuesday's police shooting of a teen of North African descent.

Vincent Jeanbrun, 39, the centre-right mayor of the southern suburb of L'Hay-les-Roses, was at the town hall when his house was attacked with his wife Melanie and children asleep inside.

The aggressors drove their vehicle at the suburban house but were halted by a low wall ringing the property's outdoor terrace, the local public prosecutor said. They then torched their vehicle.
