It’s only because Democrats are so shitty at cannidate choice that we got trump in the first place

exactly. we can’t just ignore religion. we must defeat it

people got Hydroxychloroquine by unauthorized means too

I want a voice controlled assistant that runs locally and is fully FOSS and I can just run on my bog standard linux PC, hardware minimum requirements nonwithstanding

the cost to Nebraska would be less than 3x his salary

stop bowing down to fascism everybody

“Useds” is a more appropriate term

I’m still afraid of Bush vs Gore 2.0 but all it takes is 5/9 to do the right thing

Genocide deniers can read they just lie to your face and Shane you into treating them like they’re not the monsters they are

You’re sick in the head. Stop denying genocide

We’re not cowering, Israel is a Christian project ultimately.

You’re sick im the head

We’re gonna pick them up secondhand

I’m suspicious, thankfully we have a larger ecosystem of Linux hardware these days so we’re not totally dependent on windows PCs

the total content per day’s fine but some of the more niche interests outside of what us fucking nerds like aren’t here yet. we can change that but we’d have

Honestly I could see this being a way of trapping people by giving them less incentive to leave. If people like us leave and you have to leave the corporate hellscapes to see our posts that gives people a reason to leave too but if they can enjoy it from the “comfort” of Mark Zuckerberg’s domain they have no reason to leave. That also makes them captive to met us since they can pull the plug in Federation anytime they like or mess with it in a thousand different ways. Convincing people to sign up for another account may be non-trivial but it’s ultimately the best way forward

It’s not a choice between those two, and allowing Mark Zuckerberg in the door doesn’t gain us relevance. We’ve already been slowly growing on our own accord and we’ve finally started to cross the threshold to where there’s enough people here posting enough stuff that it’s not a ghost town anymore. Sure I do still run out of content on any given day when I’m looking at my phone on the bus and on my work breaks but it’s usable enough that I don’t need the corporations. The only thing that threads has to offer us is a large pre-existing user base and there’s nothing else. Once we get enough people even that doesn’t matter

If we let corperate avithilea gain a foothold they’ll EEE us. Learn from history, Meta’s not doing this for our sake

A generic Democratic Perry cannidate would be a safer choice. Draft a blue state governor or something

In that case theree’ no need to move right IR appeal to “centrist” voters so the Democratic cannidate can focus on turning out their base by throwing them red meat, right?
