I disagree. Posting and ghosting still helps people keep up to date with any news about the organization.
I'm not going to go out of my way to check a bunch of different org's blogs (and I'm not a fan of RSS), and prefer to be able to get news through social media. I only get news outside of aocial media when I want to properly study something in depth.
But it does show the importance of losing the stress and having a meal before an exam. :)
Babes no it doesn't, you're smart and love physics lol. Don't get delulu about it
So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave?
Lol, the lack of self-awareness in your comment is astounding. You immediately jumped to interpreting them in the least charitable way possible, instead of just asking them to clarify like a normal person. You are exactly the type of leftist that pushes a lot of people away from using Lemmy.
Who needs conservative saboteurs when you have leftists to do their work for them?
I play Morrowind on Linux all the time, running OpenMW (bought from GOG) on Lutris.
It's been implicitly assumed that
Society seems to be built on a lot of obviously untrue assumptions.
"It's possible" is a god-awful basis for a political strategy that involves electing a known fascist.
Or it could be like ww2, where it gives the world a common enemy to defeat.
Who cares? Having a common enemy to defeat isn't a "good" thing, this isn't a superhero movie. It's a sign that evil people have become too powerful. Millions of people died in WWII as a result. And fascism is still going strong around the world.
There are a lot of very clearly known things, and accelerationists ignore all of those in favour of a crackpot theory of social change.
Why are you equating the people who criticize non-voters and Trump voters with the Democrats? I will criticize non-voters and Trump voters all day long, but I am not a Democrat; I am not even American.
Your framework suggests that only Democrats have agency (and you also rhetorically equate the party and its voters, which isn't reasonable), whereas non-voters and Trump voters don't.
In reality, everyone has agency, and everyone is affected by large-scale social forces. I see lots of people on all sides doing everything to limit their side's responsibility. Everyone is responsible for the role they played in this election.
I know plenty of supposed leftists (really these are people who spend 90% of their time criticizing liberals and calling them "shitlibs") who are relieved that Trump is in office, say that he is better than Kamala on Gaza, and believe that America's descent into fascism will spur a revolution that will save humanity.
Don't underestimate people's stupidity.
Murder is still murder regardles of numbers.
Man, what the fuck? Does it register with you how fucked up it is to dismiss the difference in how many will die under a given administration? You do agree that quantitative differences are real and have moral importance, right?
They asked 2 questions and you just said "yes" 🙃
Yeah, well, they've done it, 95 million Americans didn't vote. Now what?
Y'all really are unble to take any kind of accountability whatsoever. "It's done so it's not relevant anymore" is a textbook example of what abusers say.
Are we gonna point the finger at them, lay the blame at their feet
Yes, absolutely. Non-voters are neglectful assholes whose inaction has had devastating impacts for multiple different countries. You are all just typical abusers trying to escape accountability.
you can't join Signal there. I don't know whether it's due to sanctions or if the government is blocking 2FA SMS messages. In either case, it is impossible to join without a phone number confirmation.
What do you mean? You need a phone number to join Signal in any country.
It's odd to describe people with nothing left to lose as being "privileged". You literally don't know the OP, or their reasons for feeling this way, but here you are judging them. No wonder you say that you running your mouth has caused problems in your life.
Lots of people are socially isolated nowadays, with few if any friends. Lots of people are estranged from family. Lots of people deal with chronic health problems that ruin their quality of life. And so on. Many of these people feel like they have nothing left to lose, and that feeling is raw and real and coming from a place of pain and marginalization, not of privilege.
It's especially ironic that you're saying this while talking about how you're making an "exit plan", which lots of people lack the resources to do.
You are so out of touch it's not even funny. The reason you don't relate to this post isn't because the OP's stance is "privileged", it's because you have different conditions, beliefs, values, and priorities than they do. Get a grip.
I doubt I can successfully persuade 100+ people to migrate to signal just because of my political crusade.
Don't know till you try! And if you're playing the long game, you don't need to convince 100+ people -- the more individuals that join, the easier it will become to convince everyone else to make the switch too.
(oh btw "We are in X country which is not in N eyes" is just marketing)
Why do you say this? There are real data-sharing agreements between the Eyes.
Doesn't even need some complicated backdoors or anything it just needs to find an OPSEC slip-up
This already happened with kolektiva, unfortunately, but from what I hear they've since strengthened their security.
The UI is fucking awful and way too complex, so it's difficult to get anything done. I've tried two different instances and found them both to be unusable.
It's a shame because Friendica is way more powerful than most Fediverse platforms -- they leverage way more of ActivityHub's potential, such as a system for calendars + events. But the UI needs to get sorted out before it's ready for mass adoption.
I don't agree? Even in big cities, I've often seen marketplace posts from people with mutual friends, so I could easily verify their trustworthiness. In other scenarios I can at least check to see if their posting history and/or profile seems legit or if there are any red flags. Having more data helps people decide whether to trust someone, but Craigslist doesn't allow for that.
