It’s going to require daily nationwide protests going on for months and months with national participation approaching 1-2% of the population (4-8 million) on weekends and clear and actionable demands (resignation of Trump and his goons and corrupt members of the judiciary).

From my experience living in the US, I don’t think this is likely (I do hope I am wrong). Geographic size can actually be managed by having many thousands of protest sites by key admin buildings all throughout the country. The bigger issue is perhaps a lack of experience “operationalizing” beliefs and standing up to a thugs and oligarchs.

What a fucking idiot. Some degenerate from what seems like provincial Washington state is making calls about the leadership of Ukraine?

We should send his family to Pokrovsk (a key frontline town in Donetsk oblast) to do logistics volunteer work.

Hell, they can even come to my apartment in Kyiv. While it’s safe here, I have a feeling they are not going to enjoy daily shahed OWA strike warnings that happen in and around midnight or regular getting ballistic strike warnings at 4 am (and hearing takedowns of said shaheds and ballistic missiles during the night). Or seeing that the building down the street recently got hit my debris from a shahed takedown.

Who the fuck is Baumgartner?

I am assuming some corrupt American?

Maybe mbin or piefed? They don’t exactly seem to have 1:1 copies among oligarch run services.

Crypto is all about shilling bags or criminal activity.

Don’t post or engage with ML. Problem solved.

That instance is infested with scumbag tankies who white wash genocide, oppose self-determination for independent countries and support imperialism and authoritarianism.

Facebook - Zuckerberg and his role in enabling ethnic cleansing in Myanmar

How so? And what do you define as “antisemitism” and “antisemitic censorship”?

It depends how you use these platforms. On reddit, I go to a few somewhat niche subs (via a direct bookmark link) so I don’t see any content outside of those specific niches.

On lemmy, I use this account for news/global politics, but I also have an alt where I only access content from subscribed communities and there is minimal politics.

It seems like the only semi-viable alternative to oligarch run social networks.

I am not American, but the behaviour exhibited by oligarchs such as Zuckerberg/Musk (and these are just the ones that get in the news) is not at all surprising.

This is like a weird personal thing that I can’t even explain. For whatever reason, the Y axis becomes labelled as X in my mind in random situations. And I use charts (and other data visualizations a lot).

The funny thing is when I am thinking of X, I don’t have this urge to call it Y. If I am looking at horizontal, X is the first thing that comes to mind. But not with Y.

Yes, of course the Y axis.

I work with charts/vizualizations/data a lot, but for whatever reason I reflexively mistake X/Y a lot. It’s not even funny.

It was an error on my part.

To be fair, the Y-Axis doesn’t start from zero.

That being said, 10% account growth in 2 days is pretty solid. Let’s hope both account creation and engagement metrics (MAUs/DAUs) keep growing.

EDIT: Correct Axis type.

I have not, no. There are still some technology communities that are only present on ML. Outside of those, I do not interact with ML.

And what’s with your prima donna attitude? What exactly is the problem with calling out an instance run by genocide white-washing tankie scum?

I do use all the ML alternatives, but engagement is notably lower. I almost wish LW would just bite the bullet and defederate from ML.

Yeah, maybe more like top 100 for hexbear. I am on mobile too.

Where does it say “Lemmy doesn’t exist”? The admins of the site are well within their right to curate what service they include. I say this as someone who uses Lemmy a lot and really wants there to be a non-corporate, competition-focused alternative (instances, UIs) to reddit specifically and oligarch run social networks in general.

I don’t understand how “censorship” plays into this (beyond shallow polemical grandstanding). Where is the censorship?

Still many top tech communities (in their niche) are on ML. Open source, Linux, Privacy, Raspberry Pi, Firefox come to mind.

Several hexbear communities are also in the top 50.

How is this censorship though?

You can always start joinfediversefreespeechstan.io or whatever. The code is even available, no?

I could never understand american-style preference for “free speech” themed theatrics.

Excuse me?
