I quite liked lemmyNSFW for not federating downvotes. Now they're/we're/I am on PieFed I've been looking for a way to hide downvotes. My engagement can just be reply/upvote/ignore/block/report. I understand why people downvotes, I'm happy you all have them. I'm just not personally interested in them.

Sainsbury’s Leads FTSE 100 Higher As Profits Burst Through £1 Billion. 17/04/25
Shares in Sainsbury’s edged higher on Thursday as it announced retail operating profit north of £1 billion for the first time last year.
No Sainsbury's, I don't think I will care about you having to lock up chocolate. I don't think I'll buy any chocolate you lock up.
I was recently listening to Behind the Bastards: How the Liberal media helped fasicm win.
Chilling how little they, the media, learned. They're still infantalising the left while proping up the right. Few lessons to be learned beyond "oppose fascism as violently as you dare as soon as you can".
For me, I'll vote Green, encourage others to vote Green, hope some Lab/Lib/Con voters learn some history and vote Green. If/when Reform win, reasses. Not particularly violent, history won't remember me well.

But the problem is the same problem it’s always been with UK politics that first past the post doesn’t actually allow for any change or for the greens to get in.
FPtP does no such thing, look at how Reform are polling. It would be foolish to think FPtP will protect you from them. FPtP does mean that a non-majourity of votes can take all of the power. The right have gotten sick of Conservative so have taken their votes elsewhere, the left can do the same. Let Con-Lab-Lib fight over the few neo-lib votes remaining.
That said, I voted Green last election and intend to vote Green next election. So I'm biased.
Harris could have stood in the middle of 5th avenue, and shot someone, and still not lost some people's vote.
Don't worry, we gave them ample time to destroy evidence.
