I am far more interactive on here. I was almost exclusively a lurker on Reddit.

As crazy as this is to watch from within the US, it must be terrifying in a different way for those in other countries. You have this lunatic criminal trying to regain power like it’s a news story about a coup in some small developing country, but it’s the country with the big guns and bombs. Plus, the would-be dear leader might even want to pull out of NATO. Chilling.

This is awesome to see, but I wonder if an array of Small Modular Reactors would be the way to do it in the future. Nuclear is a fantastic and safe source of clean energy, so I hope it can compete better on the economic side.

No argument here. The wasteful and dangerous vehicles are just a minor symptom of our cultural issues.

There is a lot of anger, frustration, and unacknowledged insecurity going into vehicle purchases in the US.

I took a look at the “conservatives banning books” link and it says thousands of books have been banned and/or removed from libraries.

I took a look at your link, and it describes the process by which one book was removed from the required reading list, but was still allowed to be used in class.

It makes me think of the “we are not the same” meme.

I’m not into Lemmy because it’s got all the niche communities I need in my life. I’m into it because the fediverse in general is a FOSS, decentralized, “by the people for the people” alternative to enshittified ads&engagement social media.

We’re in the early stages of this thing. We’re all still playing with the building blocks of what this will hopefully become one day.

I’m reading through the comments and every reply of yours is like another stroke of the paint brush. I will watch your dark art from afar.

This is what I did when this story came out. In used different browsers in different places, but I switched to Firefox anywhere that’s windows or Linux.

Trying Mlem for the first time, the only thing that bothers me is that it shows total post scores and not individual numbers for up/down votes. I like seeing when something is controversial vs ignored.

I respect the project a great deal, but I just don’t see myself putting any effort into making Reddit accessible for myself.

Even if there were zero reasons to avoid Reddit on principle, Lemmy is just a better “product” for what I want out of it.

If I’m googling something at work and need to view a page there, fine. I’ll just use a cached page or visit directly with ad blocking as if it were any other webpage. That might benefit the company in some small way, but that doesn’t make it worth prepping my devices to better make use of Reddit.
