Keep a close eye on that Green party, my guess is that you will see and hear nothing for 3.5 years and then they magically start bleating again in the next presidential election.
In fact, I would put money on it but the betting offices are no fools and do not take that particular bet.
You should worry about how the new president, congress and house will do to you so hard before you start to complain about some futuristic fantasy scenario. After the burning pain you will wish, nay pray, for an AOC run government as an alternative. Perceived AOC ‘troubles’ will positively feel like Aloe Vera for that burning spot where the sun don’t shine. But first, the relentlessness pounding you will take for 4 years straight.
Ehm, and its not that you voted for the orange clown, did you? Perhaps you are an abstain vote? Could this be a self inflicted pain I wonder?
You are 100% correct. Where they do have a choice is where to practice. Leave Texas and let them figure it out by themselves. Doctors are not obligated to work in Texas so bleeding the state dry (no pun intended) of medical professionals, it is a strategy the medical field could employ if they choose to do so. Doctors and nurses leaving in droves sends a message. Stating a lack of working conditions due to state enforced measures is a very valid excuse imho.
Never going to happen, I know…
Just give me the tools, as a user, to block instances. Not just the way it is done recently but truly block an instance and all it’s posts and users. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance and all things related to it.
Glad you recognize this as a war instead of the russian deceptive ‘special operation’.
And there would be no war if russia did not start one. Lets keep the facts real.
So when you see a state fail when pulled into a war by a fascistic country, led by a psychopath dictator who has bigger desires of waging more wars after Ukraine falls, your proposal is to just let them go and fail? Do you need a history lesson on what happened a couple of decades ago when that type of appeasement went very wrong?
Well, I browsed that cum sock of a channel of his for about 30 seconds and was thoroughly disgusted. What surprised me though, as I was not aware, is that Kelsey Grammer is supporting that piece of excrement. Sigh, another delusional actor who seems to have lost his marbles.
Yeah, and it’s the blocking of the complete user base of an instance that’s what I truly want and seek.
The app is fine but I’m also using webui so I would love the feature to be at the ‘root’ of Lemmy instead only in 1 app.
I read elsewhere that v0.19 will not bring complete instance blocking. Communities will be blocked but not the users, and it is the users and everything about an instance I want to block. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance, as if it and its users do not exist at all. I’m getting conflicting messages on the ability of v0.19 by several people and I am lost on what it will actually bring. I guess we will have to wait and see once v0.19 is out and we start using it.
How do you, as a user, block an entire instance? As far as I know only an owner of an instance can block (de-federate) another instance. I would love being able to block an instance as a user though.
If this is true then I indeed misunderstood v0.19
All I want is to be able to block an instance completely as a user. How hard can this be? I really had my hopes up for v0.19. This needs to be built into Lemmy asap because the idiocy of some instances is getting on my nerves hardcore. I mean, why not go back to reddit if I have to take shit anyway? At least I know the communities are larger over there and if I need to suffer bullshit then by all means, I’ll suffer over there. This is not good for Lemmy tbh…

I wish people would use the right name
He probably thinks QC is a bit ‘woke’ and thus dismisses it out of hand.
Ha! Well, I did not know about that and it worked! Thanks!
Question though, and I might be classified as an idiot and I am willing to risk it but, how was I supposed to know I needed to click on my picture?
I saw the picture and my name/handle so I assumed I was logged in and ready to go.
But again, mucho gracias!
I use Librefox but I see the same behavior on Chrome.
Still happening it seems:
I also could not get this picture to upload to this post, had to fall back to the default UI. Also, still no way to respond in general to a post (not a reply but a comment on a post itself).
Maybe its me but I’m having issues with Photon whereas if I use the regular UI it works fine. For example, this post on Photon shows no immediate and obvious way to respond but when I switched to the std UI I ca add a comment like I am doing right now.
Also, in Photon the “Subscribed” browse option is disabled and shows no posts at all (my default view is Subscribed, hence I could see the issue of no posts.
I had a couple more (some security related messages, maybe SSL issues?)
I’ll switch back to the default UI for now as having functionality is more important then some visuals. I mean, Photon is nice and all but it is not so groundbreaking that I keep using it despite the issues I encountered.
But I appreciate the Photon devs immensely, I see it as a step in the right direction!
Thanks for the explanation. I see that feddit.nl now has Photon installed and is ready to be used! Nice.
I tried https://p.feddit.nl/ but it did not work.
Anyway, I’ll live with the current ui, no worries.
Not partisan, I cannot vote for one or the other. There is no need to defend as I encountered no attack. I am grown up.
Your response makes little sense to me. Just warning you about what is going to happen instead of what you propose might happen under AOC.
