Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity
Millions of American children are (were?) given these in the third grade and yes they all call them that
I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance
I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard
Congrats, you’ve been played into infighting with the only legitimate opposition to Republicans, very cool 👌
The problem is that they have been brainwashed by 30 years of right-wing media to convince them to never believe anything Democrats say ever. We could tell them literally everything they want to hear and they would say we’re lying, or nod along and then go vote for the Republican anyway
Dems are not standing by, they just ran a whole goddamn election. That they were/are bad at that is not in question. You can be mad at them all you want for losing but don’t act like they didn’t try to warn us and do something about it
If you don’t vote for Harris it’s effectively a vote for Trump, and Trump has publicly said he would help Netanyahu finish the job. That’s the choice we are facing
It’s called being realistic about what president can do with their powers. She absolutely should encourage Congress to pass legislation as that is much more permanent and effective than executive orders
Things seem to have improved in the last 5 years, so maybe give it another shot. I’m on Fedora 40 with gnome and lots of extensions, and I’m constantly tinkering with it to make it look just right (for fun, not that I feel like I have to). Nothing catastrophic has happened yet!🤞
I love how people will complain about ads on YouTube and then go on to complain that PeerTube sucks because “who’s going to pay the hosting fees?” 🙄 For the record I like PeerTube but Android clients are ass right now
Amazing
There ain’t no party like a Lizcutus party because a Lizcutus party is MANDATORY. RESISTANCE IS FUTULE.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. The reality is that dismantling an industry so enmeshed in our economy, both nationally and locally, is HARD. People WILL be negatively impacted and it would be stupid to ignore that. Democrats have to walk a very thin tightrope to not alienate people, which is what will happen if we go as hard as we should
Wow. She’s probably right, but holy shit she actually said that publicly
It’s called doing the hard work of diplomacy and upholding our promises as a country. Did you miss the part where she then deftly fit in that she’s pushing for an immediate ceasefire, the full withdrawal of the Israeli military, and a 2 state solution? She’s actually accomplishing something quite incredible by authentically embodying both of those positions. She will plot a new path forward that will surprise many, as she has surprised many people many times so far in this race (1 month!)
Weren’t there thousands yesterday?
Stein is a Russia-planted spoiler candidate. That’s it
72 hours, insomnia. They first put me on benzos, then trazodone, then finally Lunesta was able to get my brain working fully again. The benzos were interesting because I didn’t really feel like I slept when I was on it? Like it just erased my memory of the sleepless night
