Tags also work well; it’s how I’ve been making hot fixes for that last 3 years. Lol

It’s easy to avoid redditization: just stay away from the “general interest” instances because reddit or facebook will always do general interest better than any platform run by volunteers w almost no budget.

It’s the only equivalency there can be between the two countries; unlike the Soviet Union, the United States was not formed by colonial absorbtion of neighboring nations. The closest thing there is, is the Mexican land grab in the 19th century and Europe has a long history of nationalist movements being suppressed, so the Soviet Union is not unique in that regard.

And, just like the USSR, the US has a track record of not allowing political discourse that threatens its hegemony; the Black Panthers, Pinochet, and Cuba are probably the most glaring examples.

People frown upon lemmy.world because it’s a politically American center-right instance on a leftist social media platform that bans leftist discourse via defederation.

If your politics align w them and you don’t mind them deciding what you can and can’t see on your behalf, you’ll do fine there.

I switched from lemmy.world because of that and switched to an instance that doesn’t make a habit of defederating from the most active instances (ie hexbear) and there’s also another center-right instance named lemm.ee that also doesn’t defederate.

None of the reddit user diasporas made a dent on reddit’s usage, but people did start using other platforms.

Like tiktok’s ban: it’s not going to move people anywhere else because most people have multiple social media accounts thanks to marketing and that’s what this is.

For the same reasons California or Texas keep entertaining independence ballot initiatives every 4 years; internal politics.

There’s a strong chance he’d enjoy it; so maybe it’s best not to just to spite him. Lol

Same here; I wouldn’t know the truth for another 35 years thanks to tiktok

There is no other reply

yep; the problem is that they don’t vote all the time because our ruling class & republicans alike don’t want them to vote.

but sure, don’t do anything about anything and I’m sure the public will suddenly flip for ya

democrat’s haven’t done shit besides token gestures for the last 50 years and most americans still vote democrat.

… The recruitment crisis could be solved, she added, if Ukraine’s allies sent their own troops. If they did not, and Kyiv fell, Vladimir Putin would keep going. She said: “As I see it, it is Europe’s armies that are absent without leave. They don’t understand – or don’t want to understand – that this is their war too.”

yes it is their war because it’s the one that they started and now ukraine is paying the price, like a lackey who take the fall for their criminal ceo.

same here. that’s one of the reasons why i want to emigrate; i hate being complicit with so much violence and suffering across the entire world.

do you know where i can find remotes and secrets?

– and they both punch left; exactly as conservatives like to do.

Have you given up on lemmy? Lol

I wish I understood why they keep pointing to tiananmen square; it only proves that China is on par with the American government when it comes to brutal repression; but it’s one Chinese example compared to the hundreds of American examples that we’re allowed to know about and even then the story of tiananmen that Americans know about is just as propagandized as the stories of American atrocities.

or you could just be fat until you decide to lose it when you’re middle aged and then you end up looking like you’re in your 60’s. lol

sweden seems like it’s out of the way on the paths towards isreal…

i’m a vim user and i feel attacked. lol
