Every tweet you scroll past counts as a read tweet. That probably cuts down the number you can actually read by quite a lot.

God damn, apparently they came out with six nee wifis while I wasn’t paying attention.

Eh, at least something good came of it. I was really hoping the nazis would kill eachother for a change (azov excluded), but that’s life for you I guess.

It’s not a loss of volunteer manpower, its just a changing of the guard. Sadly there will always be legions of scabs willing to take the place of those protesting.

Jewish person here. I don’t care, and neither would anyone from my congregation. It turns out that minorities are capable of understanding cultural and contextual differences regarding the use of language.

I feep bad for the 19 year old who got dragged along by his dad, but honestly as an endeavor it was kind of begging for a disaster to happen. Like if you go back and look at interviews from a while ago the guy is talking about how bullshit the safety regulations are and how hes not going to follow them because thats what innovation is all about.

I’m sure reddit considers pretty much any kind of protest as “not acceptable”

A real lemmy app would be a godsend. Jerboa is alright but it’s missing tons of features. The Sync guy makes a fantastic app.

Eh, I know about the alternatives and they’re all clunky messes that will probably never have anywhere near the same userbase as reddit. Even if they do, they won’t function the same way.

I don’t mind Lemmy, and if Reddit continues to shit the bed I’ll probably switch over fully, but I would much much prefer that Spez backtrack on all the recent garbage and just have stuff go back to business as usual.

I like having all my content aggregated to one space. A big selling point of lemmy and other federated systems is that they’re “more free”, but until a month ago everything was fine. I don’t need or want to shake the foundations of how people consume media, I just need one guy to stop being a dickhead for 30 seconds.

Huh, I wonder why. Thanks, pal.

I’m not one of these guys masturbating over my dream revolution or anything, but armed minorities are harder to oppress, and are less tempting targets for individual or group violence.

I’m a queer guy in Portland. There are violent extremists in my town who want to kill me, and are organizing and rallying. I’ve seen them in the streets, and they’ve attacked people and places I care about because they know that the left wing is broadly non-violent, and that cops are on their side.

Looking at the political climate in the US, I don’t think it’s too unreasonable of a reaction to buy a gun and learn to defend yourself, just in case.

Amen. I don’t like guns, I don’t feel comfortable around them, but if those fucking lunatics get them I guess I have to have them too.
