@mrcopilot That's great news!

I'm not sure it's a HUGE LOSS, though.

Magyar is conservative but maybe not far right; his party Tisza is conservative and populist. Magyar is somewhat outside the Orbán circle of corruption, somewhat more pro-European. He's, uh, not great on diversity.

But maybe that's the recipe for getting out of this mess; somewhat less shitty, much better looking replacements for entrenched corrupt autocrats.

Ha, I thought it was just us blue-haired oldies who remembered *plonk*. I'm only using it in my admin notes, and only in public if I'm sarcastiposting about the week's moderation adventures from a mod-persona account.

Generally NOT in interpersonal chat ... I stick with the "move on" part if I need to block and move on.

I'm also trying to take a breath and note if a "mute" is more appropriate, as those can be time-limited.
