Because you’re on kbin. I don’t use kbin because of the lack of an API and because of weird bugs like those.

“Age is front of mind for American voters in a way that it has not traditionally been and they are nervous about it,” said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.

Um, yeah, because never was normal to have so many 75+ year olds in power. They need to retire. And yes, that includes Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The Silent Generation and Boomers ran this country into the ground and never gave up that power.

From my perspective, the Fediverse is full of people who think Biden is the greatest president ever, that we should stay locked down in our houses for the rest of our lives, that everything should be free or provided by the government, and that if you disagree with anyone on anything, you’re automatically a Trump supporter and a Nazi. (I don’t like Trump or his cult, btw.)

I do have a PC with Linux, but I can see where you’re coming from. Unfortunately, Linux isn’t for everybody.

Ice Cubes, Mammoth, and Mona aren’t on this list either. Ice Cubes is the app that got me to actually use Mastodon regularly.

“We’ll also use union actors to tell our team members why unions are bad.”

And it’s definitely not helping that the biggest Mastodon instance for artists is pretending to be progressive while being hostile to the LGBT community. Mastodon has a chance to snatch up artists who are pissed off about Twitter, and of course they’re going to check out mastodon.art not knowing about their bullshit.

I’m not sure what the solution to that should be, however. Take down mastodon.art? I’ve been telling people to avoid that instance, but non-techie people don’t understand that the Mastodon developers don’t own it.

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

Well, I guess they managed to achieve their goal of copying Elon.

This is clearly not a taco rule

I own a car and am resentful of the fact that they are pretty much mandatory in my country, but I don’t think this community is overly pessimistic or a vacuum chamber.

That said, departure announcements like the one we are talking about here look like attempts to stir up drama rather than attempts at an actual conversation.

What did you expect from a community called “fuck_cars”?

If it’s any consolation, the owner of Squabbles, the site a ton of people praised during the Great Rexxit because Lemmy is too confusing, changed the name to Squabblr and fired all the other admins because he doesn’t believe in hate speech.

I had three accounts at one point, but lately I’ve only been using this one. The first instance I tried could never see any content because it was small. I then joined lemmy.world, and I could see plenty of content… when it wasn’t down. But this instance seems to be working well for me.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the active user count could have been explained by people trying different instances.

Yeah except that the spammers already have blue checkmarks. They’re already paying.

That would be nice if the instance wasn’t always overloaded. Ended up blocking the Piped link bot because of it.

Elon simps are already going “lol $1 i literally paid more than that for my coffee”

Copycat!
