Hello Americans,
Today Meta has deactivated the Instagram accounts of the "No Kings" protests on the very day they are happening in the US. You can avoid Meta's fascist-defending shenanigans by following one of the main No Kings organisers on here instead:
➡️ @indivisibleteam
This is a textbook example of why it's a bad idea to rely on billionaire-owned centralised social media.
(Thank you to @tchambers 🙏)

Special follow recommendation today, the journalist and researcher Zecharias Zelalem has spent years covering the Horn of Africa and is now extremely worried that a new genocide may be about to begin in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. You can follow him at:
➡️ @ZekuZelalem
He does in-depth investigative reporting and research, and has won awards for it, so his warnings carry particular weight.

Καλησπέρα Greek people!
I was asked to provide more Greek account recommendations, but I've had trouble finding good accounts partly due to the language barrier. It is also difficult for me to judge how problematic the content might be as it is not my language.
Can you recommend good non-problematic Greek accounts that might be wanting public followers, either in Greek or about Greece?
