Any alternative will just be bought up anyway since America decided monopolies are no longer a bad thing.

The guy who might wander onto tracks doesn't even exist in reality. He's a hypothetical in the mind of the guy with his hands on the lever.

Fr. I don't give a crap what anyone's excuse is for not voting unless they have some kind of physical impairment that makes it impossible.

If you abstained from voting for ideological reasons, I will never like you, I will judge you harshly, and you should feel ashamed.

Never put your trust in a centralized social service again. In the old days when forums were independently hosted you might get banned but you can just go and find another one or host your own.

Everyone has gotten too used to the convenience of these centralized managed social media services like Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, etc.

Lemmy is great because it's offers some of the convenience Reddit does but isn't centralized. So if you get permabanned on one instance you can just find another that fits your interests better. Or host your own and you're not reliant on a corporation that is trying to milk you and your data for all that it's worth for a little profit.

I don't use any centralized social media anymore. That shit is dead.

Democrats voted. It's independent leftists that didn't vote. And encouraged others to not vote or vote third party. Hope you're happy with yourselves. This is what we get because you ragged on Democrats the entire election season. Gtfoh.

I installed one and realized after the fact that my appliance won't fit there so I need to reinstall it.

People who have the amount of free time and level of terminal online-ness to feel the desire to mod for free are generally going to have a common personality type that makes them go on power-trips. It doesn't matter if they are on Reddit or Lemmy. Terminally online is terminally online and mods are always going to suck.

That said, they're not paid so you get what you pay for.
