"Also while working in war zones might come with danger pay, you're a teacher so we will pay you barely starvation wages and you'll have to buy supplies from your personal money."

I love the fediverse, but it hasn't fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don't like, I have to migrate for that as well.

The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that's enough for my needs.

(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)

I can't get past the awful animated guy

Conservatives "would"?

They literally just did. They invented fake rules about when a sitting president should be allowed to appoint justices and as a result our democracy will be completely gone within a decade.

You're not wrong in your assessment, but part of the point of holding your government to account is that you hold the institution to a higher standard than the individuals it governs.

That doesn't show through in your write-up at all.

Have you been living under a rock?

What you're describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn't have internet media, I guarantee you we'd still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.

This is Florida. I'm surprised no one has shot them or run them over already. No one likes Nazis

I expect this courtroom will be a shitshow. Trump's entire strategy right now seems to be to pray he can reclaim enough political power to keep himself out of prison. I fully expect him to play politics instead of law in that courtroom.

The Trumpist wing of the GOP evidently just wants to burn their own country to the ground at this point.

True, but I bet you that the 53 isn't able to do much about that 46. At least nothing that fits in the bounds of a civil democracy.

I agree... it feels like the Fediverse doesn't quite have the same algorithms that the single-corporation services have, and I feel it most in the search to broaden the content I see. Hopefully the exploratory element picks up as time goes on!

It's never the young kids that get offended by this stuff. That sort of bigotry is taught.
