they’ve duplicated the censorship thing that reddit likes to do with defederations

I disagree that defederation is censorship, but no worries, we don’t have to agree! However:

i switched to lemmy.ml since it doesn’t defederate with anybody

https://lemmy.ml/instances

If you switch to the “blocked” tab you’ll see that this is absolutely not true.

One of my primary criteria when I needed to make a new lemmy account (due to problems with my original instance) was to be sure I picked an instance that had pre-emptively defederated from Threads. (as .ml does, but there are a lot more in that list)

According to a third party on X

I agree with you and have even more to add -

Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I’m not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)

Loved Floyd in my youth. Now most of their stuff just depresses me. Their lyrics are too genuine, too accurate.

Does beehaw no longer federate? Otherwise you can reach that community from lemmy.world and be a part of it you know.

Dat title tho

“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

Can you promise me there will be something other than lies or misinformation coming out of their mouths when I do so this time? Because based on my first hand experience over at least the past 8 years, those are the only two things I’m going to get.

I desperately, desperately, hoped that Germans, Jews, and especially the few remaining holocaust survivors, could somehow articulate this in a way that would penetrate at some point during the past few years.

Nope. We are literally doomed to repeat it.

Without mentioning the name of the poster, I replied to a comment yesterday that said this:

The only reason I voted for him was because we’re on the brink of WW3 and I thought he was truly the last hope of getting the wars settled. I’m scared, and I’m sorry, but shit is crazy right now. Trump at least has some relations with Russia and North Korea, that could potentially cool the pot. Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong, I’m open to discussion.

The tribe is now everyone too stupid to not vote for Hitler, and the tribe sticks together.

And the tribe is 70+ million strong. Let’s not forget that.

And he also is overwhelmed by needing to do things in life but not knowing where to start.

You’re a human and you need someone to validate you. I can’t do that from a keyboard, but I can offer an internet hug.

There’s a lot of good advice here. I have a son not too different in age than you. Your post made me want to give you a long hug. I’m sure you have many things about you that are assets and you haven’t had anyone in your life to help you find them.

As others have said, you sound smarter than you think you are, and your writing is good!

Small steps, and celebrate the small victories. Make one little thing better about yourself or your life every day. No matter how small. And be proud of yourself when you’ve done so.

Go take the good advice from others, but here’s a Dad Hug™.

Damn

I had the same reaction. Enshittification came for Windows more than a decade ago, WTH are they thinking with this meme?

If they’d lost in 2020 the Trump nightmare would be ending in a couple months instead of beginning anew.

Hey you got what you wanted, and you got to post a lengthy manifesto about it. I don’t feel obligated to give you more of my time than I already have.

It’s OK, your explanation is not required.

And half of it is either not true for me personally, based on some hefty assumptions even if applied generally, etc…

And here I am thinking Lucy is establishment dems and Charlie Brows is progressives.
