It will shock you when you learn how well funded many are too. People need to stop thinking of insurrectionists as hobbyist hillbillies with shotguns. A lot of them are full on paramilitary groups.

There were definitely a lot of military people amongst the Jan 6 insurrection. Plus we have footage of law enforcement letting them in.

I believe them. I don't think anyone here shouting "bring it" is actually ready to fight a war.

That they don't owe the world anything. The people and systems around them have basically failed to ensure them a future, and therefore, they do not owe their time to any of these people or systems.

Wonder how long they'll accept us until they once again see our queerness as "western decadence?"

I dunno, I wish more Japanese media was voice acted like Dragon Quest.

This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What's next? "Japan's economy is so bad, they're using paper for their doors!" Japan's population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?

I think most are, such as jp for Japan, or ca for canada. I'm not a web designer though.

The domain is, but the reason they chose the domain is because it shares the initials of marxist-leninist.

Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta? (kbin.social)
 

I would like to know if I can feel safe here, or if I should pack it up and start looking elsewhere sooner rather than later.

If the kbin staff have already made there intentions clear, please let me know.

Here's what you don't seem to understand Mastodon. When I left Facebook all those years ago, I wanted a total separation. I wanted any data I could possibly obtain to be eradicated from their platform (kbin.social)

Here's what you don't seem to understand Mastodon. When I left Facebook all those years ago, I wanted a total separation. I wanted any data I could possibly obtain to be eradicated from their platform, I did not want to interact with anyone on their platform, and I did not want to be visible to that platform as much as I possibly could.

There are already privacy concerns on the greater fediverse, and to think that Meta won't take full advantage of those is incredibly naive, almost intentionally ignorant. Even if EEE wasn't a concern to you (and it should be,) The draw of your platform was the fact of rather than being influenced by a single corporation, fediverse was supposed to be a decentralized network of small communities who together could build each other up into a thriving network. By allowing Threads in, you are ultimately dooming yourself to become an orbit of meta.

In our highly capitalistic society, the goal is to either kill or eat the competition. You've essentially invited the wolf into the flock, and no amount of telling us how fluffy and cute they are is going to make me see past the teeth.

First post on kbin. Sorry if this ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Still figuring things out. (kbin.social)

I don't think I'm ready to leave reddit completely, but I don't want to stay there. My compromise has been to bookmark niche subs that still don't have an active equivalent on fediverse or elsewhere. At the very least, I don't have to settle for the insufferable communities on reddit when better communities exist here. So long r/nintendo, r/pokemon.

I find myself doing far less doomscrolling on one site now, and more popping into different places on different sites like I used to pre social media hubs. I might visit my hometowns sub or r/ADHD on reddit, read about current events or gaming news here, and pop into tildes for pleasant conversation. All in all, if there is one positive thing the reddit enshitening has caused, its for the web to feel less centralized and a little more like 2008's internet.

and I can only hope this trend continues.
