“We’re the front page of the Internet!”

“No, not like that…”

Careful. That would require recognizing instances as communities in their own right, and some folks get bent out of shape when you do that.

The reasons why the wealthy like liberalisation matters, though. The reasom the wralthy want more wealth matters.

Money is power. The wealthy are competing to have the most power. Eventually, that turns to taking control of the state. So, the wealthy will back free trade and deregulation right up until they, personally, are in a position to attempt a coup. After that, regulation and trade barriers work for the particular rich folk who have taken control over the state.

No, this is a failure on that front. The Conservatives should be a non-factor now, but they’re disturbingly close. This is a tight election that has kind of crushed the left-ish party.

The country is deeply polarized, and it’s entirely the fault of billionaires and their media companies

Languages, famously static constructs.

Can you? I… I don’t actually think that’s possible. Or, at least, it wasn’t the last time I played around with community creation.

Is LW a dumpster fire? No. Not at all. You’d notice it if it were.

But it is slow to upgrade, has some serious lag in federating with many instances, and represents a conceptual problem for decentralized social media by being a large, central entity in the network.

Like, if LW disappeared tomorrow, something like 25% of users and 40% of active communities would just blip out.

It’s like someone showed him a plastic toy mallet and it’s the only tool he’s aware of in his toolbox.

Ah, he thinks choosing to take our balls and play with each other, rather than him, is against the rulesv I see. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Like, I know this is what Poutin planned to happen, but what does Donny Dorko here think the end result is going to be?

No new president will successfully patch this over. It will take decades.

It’s not Trump. It’s the US voters who have proven themselves unreliable partners in international affairs.

It’s probably not cheaper than just shooting orphans for sport.

Lemmy is about starting your own small content aggregator website.

“Lemmy” is about however you choose to use it. And having everyone using the fediverse does not preclude having cozy communities.

Internet communities once thrived with a few hundred members. The fediverse lets you have that, while also looking over the fence, as it were.
