Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity
I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance
163 years without a civil war, it’s been a good run. Note I’m not knocking this effort, but the lines in the sand are being drawn…
I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard
Congrats, you’ve been played into infighting with the only legitimate opposition to Republicans, very cool 👌
The problem is that they have been brainwashed by 30 years of right-wing media to convince them to never believe anything Democrats say ever. We could tell them literally everything they want to hear and they would say we’re lying, or nod along and then go vote for the Republican anyway
Dems are not standing by, they just ran a whole goddamn election. That they were/are bad at that is not in question. You can be mad at them all you want for losing but don’t act like they didn’t try to warn us and do something about it
Who are these people who vote for abortion access AND Trump? Does that make your vote for fascism okay?
If you don’t vote for Harris it’s effectively a vote for Trump, and Trump has publicly said he would help Netanyahu finish the job. That’s the choice we are facing
It’s called being realistic about what president can do with their powers. She absolutely should encourage Congress to pass legislation as that is much more permanent and effective than executive orders
Things seem to have improved in the last 5 years, so maybe give it another shot. I’m on Fedora 40 with gnome and lots of extensions, and I’m constantly tinkering with it to make it look just right (for fun, not that I feel like I have to). Nothing catastrophic has happened yet!🤞

Not sure where burgers come in. Might have been someone making a joke
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. The reality is that dismantling an industry so enmeshed in our economy, both nationally and locally, is HARD. People WILL be negatively impacted and it would be stupid to ignore that. Democrats have to walk a very thin tightrope to not alienate people, which is what will happen if we go as hard as we should
Wow. She’s probably right, but holy shit she actually said that publicly
We need warm bodies to vote blue, that’s it
Do you know if there’s a Lemmy version?
I’m crossing my fingers that Florida flips, because IF Florida flips there’s a really good chance Texas flips too. At least I hope so, based on the trends in the polls. But then it’ll be a real landslide 🌊
Because she’s being told to. Just like democratic leadership is ALWAYS told to.
Stop being an obvious troll please. The sky isn’t falling. Government in America involves compromise, it always has.
Soldiers knocking down doors to arrest millions of illegal aliens and everyone who looks like an illegal alien and shoving them into camps, what could go wrong?
