Yeah I agree. There has to be a bigger plan than this. In 40 years our children will see documentaties about the republicans pulling the biggest power grab ever and using idiots like Trump to actieve it. It’s not Trump playing chess here, he’s just a pawn. There are people behind the scènes pulling the strings.

If what currently is happening is really just throwing tantrums without having a plan then I feel sorry for how dumb most of america had become.

“The new guy cant be as bad”

Or

“I’m not voting for a woman”

Or

“I’d rather vot for Trump than a demented person X”

I have very little faith in the average person.

I dont trust anything that isn’t fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it’s better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.

It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

To be fair. That’s what’s basically been happening over the past 50 years. Just look at how we let Russia walk all over us. So it kinda makes sense for them to expect the same outcome.

Their only problem is that since Europe is basically on its own now, Europe has to choose for european produce. We can deal with one shitty dictatorship trying to push us around. But now its two shitty dictatorships so yeah that kinda changes things around (finally).

They’ve been X tier for a while now. A lot of people have been (shadow)banned just for having opinions that don’t fit reddits narrative. Also better not disagree with any mods since that’s basically an instaban.

It’s sad since I was on reddit since the beginning. First Imgur turned completely to shit and now Reddit has become a dystopian hellhole. I just couldn’t deal with all the shitty practises and enshittification it went through. Also all the subs I liked were filled with bots and reposts ad nauseum.

Honestly I like lemmy way better BECAUSE it has less shitty people on it. Way more meaningful discussion and less shitty one liner “LOL LOOK AT ME IM FUNNY” dumbass comments.

I wonder what his defense will be. Probably something like “i touched her without consent but I was not assaulting her” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xsmST_fuaNA

Reddit. Free speech*

*only if your free speech aligns with our interests.

Nah, being convicted is for minorities and the poor.

That said, I’m not sure if she’s rich so maybe?

You’d think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.

But nah let’s all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.

I’ve been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn’t there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.

If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I’ll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn’t have android or iOS.

You have to be pretty naive to think this will even have the slightest of consequences. Maybe his tesla stock will drop slightly more but that’s it…

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

Yeah and the worst part? People will probably still will vote overwhelmingly republican. If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough i guess…

As someone from the EU. I think the US is truly fucked. Every single government organ is focusing on removing any USA dependency going from big tech to parts and resources etc. And we’re not the only country doing it. The military has already decided to buy 0 new USA equipment.

And yet people post on that shithole with so many great alternatives that aren’t owned by one person or centralised.

People are so ignorant of it too. Last time I mentioned lemmy as an alternative somewhere on discord I got nearly banned.

It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.

Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad but that will probably happen.

Yeah, except most people suck.

Last time I mentioned lemmy I was almost banned.

It’s pretty sad a lot of people are dumb and racist.

They don’t hate immigrants, they just hate assholes. And being an asshole is not related to where you’re from. Shitty right wing politicians just want to make everyone believe it’s immigrants.

Some of the worst people I know have been born and raised in the country I live in.
