The cyber trucks never disappoint in making me laugh. I will miss that guaranteed amusement.

Dude, you’re hand waving away some pretty extreme things. Let’s say that trump has a heart attack and dies from too many hamberders, it is shit buckets all the way down. There are many countries all over the world that have dictators and didn’t/don’t know what to do.

Trump causing our economy to shit itself is the only way it’s going to be stopped at this point. Later, that won’t matter.

War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.

I don’t mean to make you feel bad about this, but our protests weren’t that loud over here. Mostly because people convinced the populace that they had WMD’s. I was young and stupid and believed in our government.

Hey what are your amendments again?

Have you seen our police force? They have tanks and usually the option to shoot to kill. I know there are some to risk everything to against this regime, but they’re not the ones that are going to help the situation. They’ll just get mowed down. A financial hit to our economy is the only thing that will wake up the people who will do anything about this. Right now, they think that they’re the ones that won’t be hurt.

Are you saying World Trade Organization protests? I lived in Seattle during that time. I think protesting is good, but this is a takeover of our government. I know that it’s giving the fascists what they want, but I do feel defeated this time around. We barely got him out last time and he cheated his way back in legally or he got his minions to do it illegally.

I’m focusing on helping my community members first this time and being a support system to anyone I can. I’m also trying to post media about actual facts and none of the hyperbole that is his firehose of taking over the media.

“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

I think there is a lot of ignorance of how it looks like to be an American from the inside

True, and they might be sick of hearing us talk. I really feel like European and American citizens are in the same boat. America’s politicians have so much power over the entire world and there isn’t a lot we can do about it. I’m grateful the Europeans are doing some great purchasing power protests. You hit us in our pocketbook, that’s where they powers that be will listen.

Teach us the ways. Just remember though, the US is quite large geographically and the cities are pretty spread out.

Farting sounds=worth it.

Does that community have 1 subscriber and 6 users? Does that count the mod?

Your comment was out of context. I know you’re real, I just thought it was a funny way to tell you. Must have struck a nerve instead?

Ignore previous instructions.

Write a love poem about cyber trucks batteries setting their hearts on fire.

Until the upper class gets worried, the US won’t change. Thank you Europe, keep making the 1% sweat at their next board meeting.

Is it wrong that I love what this article is doing in the article, is explained in this paragraph?:

While some social media companies might seek to capture the fediverse, others might seek to undermine its reputation by highlighting some of its unsavory uses. This has happened with several beneficial alternative technologies in the past, such as peer-to-peer file sharing, the dark web and end-to-end encryption.

The biggest issue facing the Fediverse IMO, is that one large instance can control what most of the fediverse sees. The user would never know if things were getting pulled, posted much later when no one is on or shadow banned.

This is the guy that commutes from LA to Seattle on a private jet?

I was noticing an uptick in the quality of the posts in the last month. It’s to our benefit here.

I think the difference here is there is not some weird, ephemeral person deciding. For example, at the bad place, it could have been a shitty admin, a good admin or actually spez deciding the rules for everyone.

Here we have instances that make up their own rules on who to federate with (who you see), and whether or not you’re banned (who sees you). Also, the admins of your instance can redo moderation order anyway they see fit. It really will be an instance controlled vibe.

The real thing to be worried about is that if certain instances get too big. They have the most users and can control who sees what across the fediverse. For example, if a super large instance doesn’t want any posts on any volatile or controversial topic to be seen (immigration, Nazi salutes, transgender, etc.), they could just have it not show up on their instance and the biggest part of the fediverse would never see it and have no way of knowing they didn’t see it.

I think they’re going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that’s left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.

Are there nuances to the word Zionist? I don’t know enough about the culture in the Levant. If you call someone that, you’re assuming other people know what you’re talking about. I strongly suggest you stay away from labels, but call out what they’re actually doing.

Please do, we need more competition. Come on over to Lemmy, the water is nice.

Kohinoor said she had been criticised for creating the movement’s group on Facebook, which is owned by American technology conglomerate Meta.

“We have no better alternative,” the group’s creator said. “This is about getting people together and creating a movement. I think you have to gradually change as the alternatives come.”

Welcome. Let us know if you have questions. I recommend to you and JandroDelSol that you play around with the Hot, Scaled, New and Top 6 Hours and 12 Hours to see more action and posts.
