Fair enough

You’re welcome?

How could they be butt hurt from you not understanding Lemmy and federation?

The joke works either way.

Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still.

There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.

Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now

Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.

This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.

Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.

It absolutely could exist. It’s just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That’s kind of the beauty of federation.

Well, that makes sense because it sure feels like we’re in another Gilded Age with new Robber Barons.

They also don’t seem to think about the fact that Ukraine didn’t get money, they got the stuff. The money went to Lockheed, General Dynamics, Boeing, Raytheon, etc… The money went into the US economy.

Yep, that’s a list of options of things that will be easily ignored. Let me know when you’re serious about over throwing fascism.

That’s a blast from the past.

It is sad. I was really hoping someone like Bernie could be elected and we could things peacefully. Turns out, that’s not going to work.

Only if you want to make change. Peaceful protests have a history of not working well. That’s why you’re encouraged to do them. People had to pay attention to the Black Panthers when they showed up. They didn’t have to use the rifles, just have them. Until we’re serious enough about it to carry rifles, we’re simply not serious enough for people to care.

So, still easily ignorable.

Are you showing up with a rifle, or just there with arts and crafts?

Okay, I remember. Now, what can I do about it?

These red states always seem to forget that they’re the taker states that use the most federal funding.
