I worry that these actions of banning platforms with ultimately break global awareness. We still have things like bluesky but Twitter was the platform for awhile. As the US slowly alienates and isolates itself from the rest if the world well find ourself ultimately less informed. Granted, Twitter is now a cesspool but generally I don’t like seeing our information channels close.
Every major gov shutdown I remember was the Republicans being bastards to force something they wanted or to make Democrats look bad. 20 years. The entire time I’ve paid attention. It’s always been Republicans. This is a legitimate reason for once for democrats to do it. To fight this dismantling of government. They won’t. They’re useless. They want this. May anyone who tell me to vote have their nose broken. I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18. Even locals. There isn’t a systemic fix to this. No one is going to save you. Stop looking to your government leaders and start forming extra governmental solutions.
Who knew we were all sweet summer children born into a game of thrones style world without really knowing it. Winter is coming friends.
Both the best and worst people I have ever met were Warhammer fans. The best guy keeps trying to get us to play 40k or Dark Sun. He’s just a really good dude though.
Funnily enough, some right wing guys have tossed the cult narrative back by calling left wing people cult members. Tim Pool does it all the time. They use all the buzz words. That talk about information inoculation. It’s half believable if you don’t chase primary sources.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll just move your money into something else like the crypto reserve
If I ever see my old fb posting I’m calling a lawyer. I got locked out before I could delete and they have NO support staff.

When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Nah not for that. That’s how I get banned from Lemmy instances. As cool as federation is without terms of service you can see it’s more fragmented as people block instances and people. I doubt Lemmy NSFW would let me make my communites and really, I don’t want to deal with it.
I don’t want to deal with people being shitty about my tastes in fiction.
Yep, the internet used to be counter culture. Now it’s controlled opposition at best.
I love lemmy but it doesn’t have my brands of smut. Reddit still does.
Way ahead. I deleted my Amazon 😉
The fact of the matter is, all major platforms are shifting to techno-fascism. Not all have yet but ALL private tech platforms are not to be trusted. This is not tinfoil hat shit. We have well documented 20 years worth of how these technologies are used against us. Not in American but elsewhere. Stories we heard that were then quickly buried under the other stories. People that pay attention should know how paper thin our digital rights are right now.
One thing I was curious about…what if you want to remodel? Add an outlet? Add a room? Remove a wall?
