Is that an actual thing?

Not at all. To create an account on a new instance with voyager:

1. Click on your account in the bottom center.
2. click “Accounts” on the top left.
3. Click “Edit” on the top right
4. Click on the + at the top left

It will let you create a new account on any server you wish and use it with voyager.

For example, I’m on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, and I am communicating to you with voyager. But I also sometimes communicate with my alt @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com and I access that from voyager too.

That’s a big boi.

In political science, a proxy war is an armed conflict where at least one of the belligerents is directed or supported by an external third-party power. In the term proxy war, a belligerent with external support is the proxy; both belligerents in a proxy war can be considered proxies if both are receiving foreign military aid from a third party country. Acting either as a nation-state government or as a conventional force, a proxy belligerent acts in behalf of a third-party state sponsor.[1]

That’s a very loose definition of a proxy war, by that metric basically any war since globalisation is a proxy war.

Good post, bookmarked. A lot of fediverse people who react almost reactionary against bluesky are well meaning, but don’t really understand how it works. This is good content, thanks.

I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.

But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.

Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

I had my first 3 months or so where I used both reddit and lemmy, then eventually I switched mainly to lemmy and only used reddit from a privacy frontend where I can’t interact, and then a month or so later I just fully ditched reddit.

I think I’ve been off reddit for a full year now. (Don’t be fooled by my account age, this ain’t my first account).

But pretend or blindly hypocritically held, this opinion is super popular.

I see it obviously blue black, but I have some specific accessibility related colour filters on my screen that might influence this.

Just FYI, if you hadn’t seen already, lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.

(I’m just reminding people this so they don’t think the server just stopped working and get annoyed.)

Ie. You’ll be able to continue interacting with lemmy by making an account on a new server. :)

The United Kingdom government has just published draft legislation seeking to “reform” key disability-related aspects of its complex social security system. While the government claims its moves “will protect the most vulnerable,” in reality its plans to cut £4.5 billion in disability-linked benefits by 2030 will have a devastating impact on people’s rights.

The government’s own analysis shows that up to 800,000 people will no longer be eligible to receive PIP and that the changes could lead to 200,000 more people (50,000 of them children) in poverty by 2030. Organizations working on social security and disability rights, including Citizens Advice, the Disability Charities Consortium, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, have warned of the poverty the cuts will create.

I mean her name is sandy after all.

You forgot:

“corrupt facist rescinds all media freedoms, soft bans the opposition, and basically destroys the semi-democracy they had. Actively bans universities.”

Trump says: “nothing is off the table”

Fox News: Perfect Clickbait lets claim considering nukes

The New Republic for some reason: Yes lets repost fox news clickbait

You have a good point. But why cite newsweek which are a shit tier source?
