Youtube shorts block is a godsend by the sounds of it, installing now.

Libby and Overdrive. Look at the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books

Are you sure they weren't lovers of cars/cussy?

Of course, but that's the case for medicine in the US across the board. It's not so much a problem elsewhere.

We have to accept that democracy is too easy to 'manage' and has been since its inception. We need local democracy badly.

I've seen the post about comments/posts 'critical of China' being removed - the actual posts in question were low information, misleading and in many cases also denying reality. One guy denied we're in a (soft) cold war even. I think the mods there need to be clearer about the rules though, and criticism of any country's actions should be allowed. They left the post up btw.

And I'm actually okay with discussions about geopolitics being controlled. Those tend to bring out the worst wierdos from the old place.

lemmy.ml looks cool, I couldn't create an account with them recently but I had a two year old account with a federated site that should work iirc.

only posts from subbed friends

Like instagram/twitter but for (long-form?) text posts/memes/links. That's interesting. It'll be the opposite of 'chatting' - I mean, that's just lemmy, but it still seems new and novel.

On the browser you mean?

If you listen to Obama on that podcast recently (whom those people probably voted for too), paraphrasing: he says economic anxiety makes people prone to risk taking, emotional voting and feel racial resentment.

It didn't seem to do much tbh, idk if posts or anything showed.

I think a lemmy follow feature (with an option to turn it off) could be useful for a bunch of use cases. Not just 'content creators' a vocal group of people are wary of.

Same, but I'd add that it happened during the past two years the most more than all the years previously added together.

I don't mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.

No issues from my friend and people I know.

That's not a community mate? I mean they are, but it's an instance. btw you should check out hexbear to really lose your nerve.

Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.

!dune@lemmy.world is good though small for now.

I'm tempted.

I'm going to gently remind you that Drumpf's base is actually on avg. wealthier than the opposition's base. That's why you get those obnoxious trucks, flags and infinite merchandise (courtesy of Chinese workers).

No need to smear the common people, it's simply a fact that democracy is not a real tool for change.
