AMERICANS
I hate getting political, but I have a platform on here and despite me being sick of Fedi I will use it to spread this nonetheless.
If things begin to go south, both literally and figuratively;
* If you or anyone you know is trans, they're cis now.
* If you or anyone you know is an immigrant, they've been here since they were born.
* If you are asked about politics, you say that you do not discuss politics.
You must protect the vulnerable and yourself.
Do not harm yourself because of this. You have to keep your safety first!!!
I hate telling people to do anything but you must protect people, because violence is very likely with how Trump and others are pushing a "trans and queer people are groomers" narrative.
@memes off topic but is there anything that happened that made you sick of fedi?? just curious cause this is like the first time i heard abt that
@frost mostly just people doing a drama, the very topic-centric instance system and other social medias i prefer more (e.g. bluesky)
@memes@wetdry.world @frost@wolfdo.gg
I prefer a centralised protocol run by cryptobros that has already started to push for monetizationOk, you do you I guess
@memes@wetdry.world @frost@wolfdo.gg idk what to tell you. It's not elitism, it's frustration.
@memes fair enough ngl, also thank u for elaborating
@memes @frost I dont agree with blueskys "federation" system (its just centralised with extra steps), but I do agree that Fedi really isnt perfect, particularly with the topic centric instances. its crazy how mospeople dont have just a singular interest. dont know what the potential solution would be though
@ScruffyBrush @memes @frost Works for us, its what I did, but it means Mastodon will never see a wider/mainstream audience
@dajix [social.zym.lol] Just go on a general purpose instance and follow a Lemmy community, an Mbin magazine or (if you find any of these active) a Friendica group, lol.
Or just join Friendica, lol. Groups of all types are better represented here anyway (as well as posts - that are not called toots)
@dwarf weddy is mostly tech nerds hence why thats the memes i mostly post but if i were to want to explore other stuff I'd have to move instance and that's a hassle, then if i didn't wanna do it i'd have to go out and look for stuff yadayada, also none of my friends really use this except maybe distant ones :p
@memes
Never talk to the cops and, under fascism, many people take it upon themselves to become cops.
@memes EVERYTHING is political. But yea, you guys take care.
Also, don't say "cis".
@memes im the whitest man out there, so I'll gladly take the hit first in order so vulnerable groups don't.
