If the reason EE is shutting down due to lack of staff why would anyone go to a smaller one/one run by a single person? This is incredibly likely to happen there too. I didn’t actually realize this was a thing that could even happen, I just picked an instance at random, but picking the biggest and most robust instance seems like the best way to stave this off for as long as possible.

Decentralization is a double edged sword, you just have to accept you give up some things to get other things.

With all the communists you think it wouldn’t be an issue if all you have to do is put in more work at your own expense

And how? I came here due to full reddit ban not cause I knew anything about the platform and wanted in, it I do like the platform and I’m glad I was “forced” to try it. Except I didn’t, and don’t, know what instances are, why they matter beyond “decentralization” and I just picked one at random because I didn’t realize your “instance” could just be removed… if an instance can be removed/shut down it doesn’t seem like any instance is actually a safe place to go since it’s not depended on me but whoever is running it? You can lose your account no matter what. Idk if this means I should try to figure this out, which is just make a new account I think? Or if this is a sign for me to give up my last social media outlet and just be done with reddit/reddit clones in general

That would require people tolerate others who don’t share basically all their opinions and I think we’re going the opposite direction of that rn

When the Christian militias come for me I want to be able to lay down suppressive fire 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Ukrainians didn’t directly endanger themselves and their long term military plans to inform unrelated enemy nation”

This first time I saw this headline I was like “YEAH, why would they???”

No US weaponry was used in this righteous attack either, literally no reason to put the US in the loop

A secret no one kept is still technically a secret, an open secret maybe but a secret. I want to know if the people using these phones know about this software

If it’s not for entertainment that’s fine, which I do point out, that it’s not universal. There’s no difference in my mind between dressing up as a caricature of a woman to entertain people than there is dressing up as a caricature of any other discriminated against class for entertainment. If a person simply wants to cross dress and it’s not done with outrageous makeup, cartoonish physical proportions, over the top generalizations of women more power to them but yes, lots of drag absolutely includes the things I mentioned and no it’s not ok to put on woman face and shuck and jive for entertainment

Am I wrong? What’s the point of drag as entertainment other than to dress up as a caricature of a woman? Sorry I don’t like my identity to be used for mocking and/or entertainment. If a person has a female identity because that’s the truest form of themselves I fully support that but if you’re dressing up as a mocking version of something for entertainment it’s not at all the same thing and it’s not ok. There’s a reason you didn’t address what I said and just hopped onto essentially calling me a TERF, I may be an RF but I am not TE

Claiming to be pro-trans rights and hating actual feminist points is peak hypocrisy

Couldn’t have been worse than the cringefest speech Hank Green gave that’s for sure

No one is upset that Israel wanted to do something about being attacked, but what’s happening is so wildly disproportionate. If hamas did that in any other country and that country decided to go full scorched earth in retaliation no one would support that yet somehow a single attack justifies what’s going on now?? If someone eggs your house do you hunt them down, burn down their house, kill them then do the same to all their relatives?? No obvious that’s insane and that’s essentially what’s happening here, the attack was wrong but two wrongs do not make a right and the force of the response is so far above uncalled for

Yeah and I’m tired of pretending it’s not!

This dude came to my spouses work to do some sort of work/help (I don’t know the exact details) and someone wrote a doc he needed to review. It was a lot of work not just like a few notes but a proper doc and all he wrote back upon “reviewing” it was a thumbs up emoji!! 👍🏻 everyone was shocked lol, no feed back, no notes nothing just 👍🏻

Trans identies must be accept as valid period the end but I find drag often veers into “woman face” territory and it’s done for entertainment not as an expression of an authentic self, not that drag is inherently wearing woman face but a lot of performers absolutely take it there. I don’t want my children, especially my daughter watching content that exaggerates my female features for entertainment and dehumanizes women into nothing more than a caricature

Every gram of fiber in a food allows you to essentially “erase” a gram of sugar so fruits with fiber (not bananas or many melons) are essentially free foods calorically speaking and they do have plenty of nutrients on top of it

Believe it or not, you don’t have to be American or live in America to drink American beer

I don’t tho m the Italian tourist who was kidnapped and tortured was a crypto bro I think the guys doing the torture were and this detective kept it covered up and may have been the kidnapper…
