After being more active on #Pixelfed for a few days, I found some very interesting people posting art with political reflections or personal tastes, using beautiful photos. One is from #Canada and another is from #SouthAfrica.
As far as my knowledge and skills with #photography go, there's a photographer from #Denmark and another from #France that I found really good!
I've been using #Mastodon for years, but I haven't found such diversity in the microblogging space before. The folks I interact with on Pixelfed likely won't like my topics here. That's not a problem.
I think it's a way to make the #Fediverse more like a Fediversity. We are not there yet.

Just months after Oliver Liao arrived in Pretoria as Taiwan’s de facto ambassador, South Africa began a campaign to downgrade its relationship with the island — thrusting him into the epicenter of a geopolitical drama. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/asia-pacific/politics/china-pressure-taiwan-south-africa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #china #taiwan #southafrica
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi said he hoped his side's Rugby Championship triumph would provide fresh inspiration to South Africa as a whole. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/05/more-sports/south-africa-rugby-championship-inspiration/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #siyakolisi #rugbychampionship #southafrica #argentina #springboks
#SouthAfrica says release its activists, including grandson of #NelsonMandela
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday that Israel's interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla was a "grave offense" against "global solidarity & sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in #Gaza".
Ramaphosa called on #Israel to immediately release South Africans & others who were on the flotilla, including liberation hero Nelson Mandela's grandson, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela.
#MandlaMandela, as he is known, left Johannesburg in September to join the flotilla. He had said #Palestinians lives under Israeli occupation are worse than what South Africans experienced under #apartheid. #Israel rejects comparisons between the lives of Palestinians who have lived under #occupation or economic #blockade for more than half a century & the apartheid era in #SouthAfrica, when the Black majority was ruled by a repressive white minority government.
#Israel intercepts 39 #aid boats heading for #Gaza
Israeli forces have intercepted 39 boats carrying aid & foreign #activists to Gaza, leaving only one vessel still sailing towards the #Palestinian enclave, the flotilla organizers said on Thursday.

I was just looking at the #stats from my @Castopod for the #podcast #audio version of #firesideFedi. I'm blown away at the diversity of folks. I see folks from #Nigera , #Brazil , #SouthAfrica , #Malaysia , #HongKong , #SouthKorea ! And of course #US , #Canada , #EU .
As an American that's never traveled, I can't wait to learn all about everyone, their cultures, their experiences, etc. I'm humbled as well. I'll be honest, if you asked me to point out on a map where these countries were, I probably couldn't. And I feel like I have to do better there. The internet allows all of us to connect and we need to learn as much about each other as we can so we can all learn.
Thank you ALL! <3
