I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I'm also using it on android next to sync.

I know this is a joke, but the Nazis used eugenics as an reason for their atrocities. I don't think blowing in the same horn is doing any good here.

I'm not putting words in your mouth, that's what you said in your comment:

Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It's just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split.

No evidence the TPP wants to fight to keep their freedom? From the article you linked:

China_ must know that it will have to pay a high price if it invades, said Ko.

And I already posted this from your article but here again:

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

China is the one threatening with an invasion, but it's the fault of the westerners?

Also: why so aggressive? Isn't that a bit too western for you?

Engaging with China is a really broad thing to say, from the article that you posted about the TPP:

"Taiwan's relationship with China is based on two principles: Deterrence and communication," said Ko Wen-je from the TPP People's Party in Taipei on Friday.

...

The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

You said the TPP is pro-china, like the KMT, but to me it doesn't read like that at all. China wants reunification, the TPP is highly against that and is willing to fight for their freedom.

They don't even consider themselves Chinese anymore, why would they want to reunite?

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were "not ready yet".

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It's really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That's obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

If the world is emitting just under 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in a year, how far back in time could this year’s total carbon removal take us? Right now, the answer is somewhere around 10 seconds.

That really puts it in perspective..
