Works fine on Chrome/Mac - it is however a very strange article structure. It was obviously very well researched with a lot of interesting information but I found it very hard to read - Q/A style, hardly any paragraphs with more than a sentence, sections where the heading is longer than the content, a huge number of quotes.
"India has the longest-running continuous fascist movement in the world – the RSS was founded in 1925. It’s nearly 100 years old. Their internal language hasn’t changed; they’re still using texts by Savarkar or Golwalkar for indoctrinating their members – and Golwalkar famously thought that the Nazi example of getting rid of Jews from Germany should be followed in India for Muslims."

"In the 1930s Hindu nationalism borrowed from European fascism to transform 'different' people into 'enemies'. Leaders of militant Hinduism repeatedly expressed their admiration for authoritarian leaders such as Mussolini and Hitler and for the fascist model of society. This influence continues to the present day. This paper presents archival evidence on the would-be collaborators."

The current Indian government has taken an increasingly fascist approach towards Indian Muslims. It has been jailing Muslim activists without due course and trials, demolishing homes of Muslims participating in peaceful protests and turning a blind eye to fireband Hindu leaders openly calling for genocide against Muslims.
Hmm these articles quote people like Rana Ayyub who have been known to scam people [1]. And Javed mohammed who incited violence over mere words. As for Bangalore specifically I don't agree with that ideology, but there is an influx of illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in the city - I will not ignore that either.
Now I wonder if you are aware about what recently happened, where two Muslim men beheaded a man in broad daylight for merely supporting someone's right to speak about their prophet. The poor man just happened to support a BJP spokesperson who was defending her faith. There have been multiple instances where there were massive riots and protests calling for the spokesperson rape and beheading. No to mention a leaked document about islamisation of India [3].
I personally do not think Muslims are being oppressed in light of such activities. On the contrary I think the game of media and setting narratives is being played on an international level to depict India as being anti-Muslim.
For overall context, the current Indian government has taken an increasingly fascist approach towards Indian Muslims. It has been jailing Muslim activists without due course and trials, demolishing homes of Muslims participating in peaceful protests and turning a blind eye to fireband Hindu leaders openly calling for genocide against Muslims.
Cringeworthy strawman. But also demonstrates the kind of rationalization and whitewashing that's prevalent in the minds of millions of regular Indians, not just those working in FB.
Ha, good question. "Indians", as it's used in such contexts, is really a euphemism to refer only to India's Hindus. A word trick when describing an undesirable behaviour prevalent mainly in one community but without fixing responsibility for that behaviour on that community. It's so common that even a disapproving critic like me ends up using such code words unthinkingly.
I was once talking to a senior dev from country X, he explained to me how vaccines cause autism, or how the moon landing is fake or Bill Gates is implanting microchips in all of us, that sums up how I feel about the country X.
Read the article "
It has been 2.5 months since the outage. What have we been up to? We used this time to learn as much as we could from the outage, to adjust engineering priorities based on what we learned, and to aggressively harden our systems. One of our Roblox values is Respect The Community, and while we could have issued a post sooner to explain what happened, we felt we owed it to you, our community, to make significant progress on improving the reliability of our systems before publishing."
They wanted to make sure everything was fixed before publishing
They just got out of their busiest time of year, and taking the time to write an accurate post mortem with data gleamed afterwards seems sensible to me.
