Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.
I don't disagree with you though; I don't think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.

A pair of powered speakers, hoping I might get lucky at my local thrift stores.
I've seen some good ones in the past for low prices but wasn't in the market for them until now.
If plastic grocery bags could be considered single use, then I think I have an interesting method to share.
Since I was young, probably in the 2nd grade or so, my mom and I were trying this project where we'd take plastic bags and cut them into strips. We'd then feed these into her sewing machine, which used one of its functions to stretch the plastic until it was about the same with as a thin strand of rope or thick yarn. We'd quite literally roll them into balls of plastic yarn.
She'd then knit them into all sorts of things. Drawstring bags, coin purses, and her favorite- tote bags. They were very pretty and had unique feel to them as well. The best I could describe it was it felt like a fake leather purse, but more bumpy due to being knit. It might not be the most efficient method of reducing single use plastic waste, but given that we still have the bags we made back then, I'd say we did a pretty good job of keeping them out of the landfill!
Fuck around and find out, as they say
If the west needs any more encouragement to assist Ukraine, here it is.
The choice is help Ukraine now, or kick the can down the road and lament when Russia is at your borders.
Oh that's one hell of a one-liner, I like it!
It's why I imagine the Russian government has been trying to frame this as "self-defense" to its own people, when it's clearly the opposite.
They know that people will go to extreme lengths to fight when they believe they're fighting defensively, for their own people, sovereignty, safety, etc. To that end, it won't matter if they can realistically defeat NATO- they just want their own people to die trying.
I should also add that with YouTube Revanced you can make the app ad free, which is the primary reason I use it over other music streaming
That's literally what it comes down to. I don't think it requires clean language or flowery etiquette. A country is at risk of losing their freedom and independence because another country wants to conquer it for the sake of land, wealth, and perceived glory.
There is no simpler way to explain Ukraine's justification in continuing the fight than how Zelenskyy put it. The reasoning is sound. And it's a much-needed reminder for anybody who forgot amidst the politics surrounding the war.
