I’ll try, thank you 🙂

For me it’s to find new content (i block most news/politics communities since they’re most of c/all) but there’s a lot of attention and eyes to be gained from all.

But most of this, as i said; is buried by the generic popular content.

Yeah, lemmy suffers a lot of from this. Too many posts that try to just make the front page, too many popular communities that dominate c/all. I’ve even had a friend quit over this.

I genuinely miss communities about games, linguistics and niche hobbies - they just aren’t as popular as news/politics/general memes and that. I do try to post them as much as i can, but since they’re niche there’s only so much content you can find.

I’d love for the frontpage to have some [optional, ofc] changes that encourage more of this type of content.

Well he never elaborated. But feel free to ask him directly at https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-general:matrix.org

That was actually an inside joke between someone else and I - piefed.dbon1.com lol

It’s unimplemented, but might be in the future.

… if it’s ever implemented i’m going to bug db0 to death about making a piefed instance on dbzer0 :D

Why are you being hostile? I just mostly focus on middle eastern politics.

I’d argue while the kim dynasty are the worst in the korean peninsula, they aren’t as much of a danger as the sauds globally.

OOTL, who is it for them, then?

Yes, i’d love my data to be owned by oil barons that want to see me decapitated.

The sauds are the most evil people alive. And i’m saying this as an arab.

A Saudi Arabian company that was created by the Saudi Arabian government just purchased Pokémon Go

If you can’t see the article i will paste it for you.

I’m speaking from experience as a Saudi person who’s always grouped with the “saudi” or "Arabic " or “brown” groups instead of another human being.

So am i, and i’m also sick of it and the people who use this to fuel discrimination. I see this article as more of a reason to hate the sauds, not saudi people.

After MBS became the de-facto leader (after some purges, to centralize all the power to himself) he started “liberalizing” and giving us more freedoms. It’s all bullshit.

Women weren’t even allowed to drive four years ago. That was probably the only good thing he gave us.

The sauds are the last people you want to own anything you use.

Judging by what they did with the data from Xitter, this will cost someone their life. Anything to make a quick buck, though…

I’d assume same thing they did with the data from Xitter. Track down arab dissidents and butcher them, then dissolve their remains in acid so no one can find their corpse.

Yeah, but beforehand it was just a bad game (i don’t play it, but it’s clearly popular) but now it’s directly profiting the worst group alive. If there wasn’t a reason to leave before, there 100% is now.

Yet another good thing ruined by the Saudi government. Why can’t we have nice things? :(

Yep, i have no power outside my instance. However sag has been banned by the LW admins :(

There’s a YPTB post about it, you can chime in. It’s outrageous honestly, sag is a very good poster/user, maybe they can be pressured into reversing the ban.

No. Lets look at the tenets of what make MAGA bad: treating minorities like shit, restricting democracy and ultranationalism (I’m not american, so this is what i understand)

Let’s compare that to the average dictatorship: treating minorities like shit, restricting democracy and ultranationalism (what a surprise!)

For examples, see Saudi arabia, egypt, russia or basically any authoritarian state.

To actually answer your question:

If you think MAGA is bad, why not authoritarianism?

What’s stopping an autocracy from being like MAGA? It’s practically inevitable for dictatorships/monarchies.

One leads to the other.

You’ve made 5 posts about this already. Dude, chill out.
