Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app

Probably because the second sentence of your own post intending to promote it was an immediate concession that the UI sucks. “It’s great once you get past how bad it is” isn’t a great pitch.

Yeah, I’d be scared of going to prison if I were him too… That drunken lout is probably going to end up in the infirmary with the DTs by the 4th of July.

But at the Federal, nah.

lmao WHAT? You should start paying attention to the Supreme Court because maybe then you'd understand what an incredibly stupid statement this is, el barto.

Clarence Thomas is massively corrupt and a disgrace to the entire legal profession. Which is a lot of words to say, he's a conservative.

Yep. It’s insane how quickly we’re spiraling into a fucking christian theocracy… anything less than voting for Biden in November is tacit support for Trump and the GOP and I don’t care whether or not people on Lemmy like hearing that fact. We have one chance to save our democracy. Vote like your life depends on it.

You'd need an afternoon nap too if you ate two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate shake for lunch every day.

And just in case anyone thinks that may have changed since that news originally came out in 2017.... It hasn't. He was still getting McDonald's delivered to court every day as recently as last October.

In other words, they produced a typical pre-campaign book, where the first rule is to do no harm. Somewhat unusually for the genre, that book, 2022’s Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland, landed the South Dakota governor on the New York Times’ bestseller list, adding to the consensus that the Donald Trump devotee had a big future in GOP politics.

What it didn’t do, of course, was spark a weeklong news cycle — and a round of obituaries for that same political future — by including a tale about Noem leading a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer named Cricket to a gravel pit and shooting him to death after he ruined a pheasant hunt and killed a neighbor’s chickens.

This time around, Noem has a different team in place, as well as a different imprint, Hachette’s conservative-leaning Center Street. And the folks behind her new book, No Going Back, didn’t get in the way of sharing memories about gunning down an ill-trained puppy.

Kirsti Noem's publisher in 2022: "This is a horrible story. We can't include this, Dick Cheney only got away with his hunting trip scandal because he shot a lawyer and not a puppy."

Kristi Noem's new Conservative publisher in 2024: "People will be impressed with how tough you are on puppy crime."

Lol of course she won't. That would require far more integrity and courage than anyone left in the GOP possesses.

"The risk of dying from heat stroke is just WOKE propaganda!" - Ron DeSantis, probably

No but they did sort out the whistleblower problem - twice!

Tim Scott is a gutless hack who apparently hasn't had enough of being embarrassed on the national stage yet. It doesn't matter what you do or say Sen. Scott, Trump's not going to pick you because it would upset his base. And we all know why.

I'm sure you thought you just made an excellent point.

Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

They actually didn't "specifically" say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren't going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren't still engaging in wild speculation. That's not how it works.

"There's no information yet so I'm going to make up an explanation which is the most likely scenario given that there's no information yet."

Brilliant.

It’s who left that matters. We lost a TON of tech people. People with experience and knowledge in the field.

You aren't kidding. The tech knowledge of the average redditor has been dropping for years as the site became increasingly mainstream but it cratered after the API change. It's very amusing to read through a thread about lemmy in r/technology though. According to the average redditor picking an instance and then clicking the "communities" section to subscribe to comms you're interested in is the most complicated thing they've ever encountered in their lives. It's silly. Lemmy took about as much time for me to get the hang of as reddit did when I first joined in 2011. A few days, maybe a week tops... And that includes the time I spent test-driving different front ends and apps before settling on a desktop/mobile combo of Alexandrite and Voyager.

Sure, understanding how federation works may take awhile but you really don't need to know much about any of that to get setup and start participating as a user.
