Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

Wow, I’m sure this announcement coming right after his puppet was elected to the US presidency is just a coincidence.

Oh yeah, there were a whole bunch of issues early on. I’d completely forgotten about that particular incident. I think some of the instances had to wipe several weeks of their image caches over it. I forget what the exact solution was, but apparently there’s some technical aspect to preventing such things that’s been implemented now.

dbzer0 is kind of ‘the’ piracy instance. Run by an anarchist, a good egg, db0.

.world here is kind of the ‘normie’ instance, very left-wing by US standards, but centrist by European standards.

It’s “The Gaza election boycott was responsible for sinking the Demokkkrats!” simultaneously with “You can’t blame us calling for boycotting Harris over Gaza causing Trump, who will give massive amounts of aid to Israel’s genocide, because it was inconsequential!”

It was an utter disaster in those first few months. I stuck it out only out of sheer stubbornness in not going back to Reddit. Lemmy.world was always down, federation was borked, it was just not ready for the big-time. Just what happens when your userbase balloons 30x inside of a month. Now we’re in a much better position to absorb new waves. The big thing is trying to get niche communities started on here - a bit of a arduous task. The mainstream communities are all pretty active at this point! And anything about Linux.

It’s going to stop altogether.

Europe is Ukraine’s best hope going forward. I’m sorry.

Users about halved in the ~3 months after the initial exile. It’s increased since then, but not yet to the point that it was at during the initial exodus.

Biden, on the other hand, could shoot the Supreme Court justices and it would be perfectly legal.

Unfortunately, even if he wasn’t spineless, that wouldn’t do us much good considering the incoming president.

I don’t think you understand what the vice president does.
