I see BlueSky as different than Lemmy. In my mind, Twitter = BlueSky and Mastodon and Reddit = Lemmy and Kbin (if that’s even still around).

They took crypto bros VC money.

Do we really think they’ll allow mass federation without getting returns on their investment?

On principle, personally. I was done with Reddit after the API shit.

My issue with BS is it took VC money from crypto bros.

What do we think will happen when they come looking for their returns on investment?

Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.

There’s a trending posts list which helps fill this want for me.

Whatever style this is, I like.

I lived in Tucson for a while. Very good food scene.

Weather is actually pretty nice this time of year.

Nothing really special to be aware of. Stay away from cholla cactus. Lol

iOS has a first party health app that has menstrual tracking. I’m under the impression Apple takes data security seriously. If you don’t, self hosted is probably best.

Really hard to help people who refuse to help themselves.

But… We warned the Genocide Joe crowd Trump would be worse? And actively tried to convince them not to to let it happen?

Like, we said the stove was hot a bunch of times and they just had to touch it. I’m gonna call those people stupid now.

To be clear, I don’t think this group of people was big enough to sway the election.

Let’s fast forward to the part where you tell me how they pass a law protecting abortion when the GOP owns the House.

Doesn’t matter now. The GOP has a trifecta and SCOTUS so prepare for a nationwide ban. Very cool that we’re about to lose what little protections we have at the state level too.

I wrote in my own name for president this time around. That way I’m sure to be 100% perfectly aligned with who I voted for. I’m sorry to hear about this but I just couldn’t vote for Harris. /s

I blocked ESPN news articles just because I don’t want to see sports content. Does the same thing. They need to fix this stupid shit.

On the other hand, I’m willing to pay for aggregated news to gain access to articles from the likes of The Atlantic, etc. Anyone have alternatives to Apple News+ in this regard?

Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe…

This sentiment is the most painful shit to read on here. Lots of “maybe they’ll learn” or “so sorry your party lost /s”. Do these people think Biden and Harris will suffer through the Trump presidency? They’re rich as fuck. It’s WE who will suffer, probably minorities getting the worst of it.

Good job guys, you really showed 'em…

Did you ever write to your congressional representatives like they suggested?

No, because I don’t support a weapons ban. That’s beside the point.

If the result was inevitable then the voters have no agency and are in no way responsible for the outcome.

I think you’re smart enough to know how a FPTP voting system works. We had 2 real options. Voters have agency as to which one of the two are elected. Stop pretending like you don’t understand how this works.

You’re giving the most heavily propagandized segment of the most heavily propagandized country on earth a lot of credit when they can’t even seem to understand that a tarrif is a tax on imports.

How sad is it then that this group understands this better than you pretend to?

You mean like how the Democrats promoted Trump thinking that he’d be an easy win for Hillary?

No, it would be like funding a third party candidate that is close to Trump with the express purpose of peeling votes off Trump.

Might as well have written in their own name for all the good it could have possibly done.

Oh it’s you. The one who claimed it was a false dichotomy but I somehow predicted the future.

Let’s both watch what becomes of Gaza over the next four years on top of all the other bullshit Trump will pull.

Thanks for nothing!

That’s all valid.
