The person who noticed that the Proud Boys were coming to town and rallied people to a counter-protest? Definitely a leader

Nahh you got that wrong. What usually happens is that a lot of people who are into politics (which left-extreme people often are) hear about this at the same time (through some press release, some proud boys twitter account who's rallyin their followers, etc.).

From that point the information spreads over friendsgroups, small discords, tweets, whatsapps, in person, slowly but steadily.

Any left-extreme person who hears this immediately thinks "I'm mad, I wanna show those guys that they're not welcome". Granted, some of us think about much more extreme things, but back to the point. The first reaction from that thought is often "is there a counter protest?". People are then doing the same thing but the other way around, as now everyone is trying to find some tweet, event, whatsapp message screenshot, whatever, of someone saying where the meeting point for an event would be. If none are found, someones gonna create something, which is usuqlly someone who's got a lot of connections with other left-extremists. Often there's multiple people creating the same counterprotest, which gets super messy at times, but somehow everyone manages to meet up in some general spot.

Worst case you just have a bunch of friends groups going to the meeting spot of wherever the initial event is happening.

That's "the antifa". A massive network of friends and friends of friends of friends who are all pretty aligned in their political views (which is "fuck Nazis") but who often don't know more then 5 other antifacists.

Swiss here, no it isn't. Here's a (german) overview of a few "openair hotels": https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

I just don't care about any of that at all. I have around 100TB of seeding accumulated over the years, no VPN, zero security measures, nothing ever happened at all.

Given that it's Hetzner, there's not much you can do besides telling them "oops sorry didn't know this was illegal" and proceed using a VPN on your seedbox, go private tracker or just use a different hoster. Hetzner isn't a big fan of torrenting since they have the (german) feds in their neck.

This guy is creating amazing short videos where he's debunking UFO sightings with a huge amount of science and simple graphical tools.

Most governments are greatly influenced by lobbyists, who are often tied to media companies. It gets worse since a lot of old people vote for heavy conservative parties, which in turn are even stronger leaning into lobbyism.

Go to "Tablet", remove "dual pane view".

I for one want the different thing, where I only have one column with small cards :(

I feel like what would even be better is to have something like this integrated into the app, in order to, wait for it, sync accounts with each other. It might just be a simple functionality where subs on each account are being thrown into one file that then can be applied to all the accounts.

But that's future talk I think.
