Fentanyl is not the reason. It’s just the excuse

No, I disagree. If things are really fucked (as they are) 30% of a population is more than enough to enact change. If they are really motivated to do so. Get most of those 30% only the street and you see what power it has.

Of course with 80/90% it’s easier. Much much easier but that’s just fantasy land. You can get 90% of the population to agree on many basic facts, so you can forget about having then agree to protest together.

Plenty of revolutions were made, and dictatorships overturned with much fewer people on board.

I very much disagree on how much power 30% of the population has. Yes the electoral system you have in the USA is beyond stupid. However voting is only the easiest and most polite way to make change.

Go on strike, protest, build some guillotines. If the population really wants it, change will be made, even if it’s only 15/30%. Because the remainder of that population will not opposite necessarily. They just don’t care enough to protest.

Luigi Mangione is just 1 person for example.

That’s just wrong

Put 20/30% of the population of any city or county out on the streets and it will make headlines

It’s technically a loud minority but a very loud and significant minority

The problem is that of those 20/30% only 10% will actually get out on the streets so you are left with around 2% of the general population. And that ain’t much

WTF

Edit: Americans need to be on the street for this shit and everything else that’s happening

I don’t care how, just get that dictator out of there

I have the same issue

Sometimes it’s the multiple posting, sometimes it’s just old posts that are still active and getting comments. Like 2 day old posts. Since they get so many comments still it’s likely that lots of other people are seeing them too

I get your point but tbf they aren’t exactly cheap ass quality. I am always actually surprised that they are fairly decent

Ofc if you buy some they will sound even better but the free ones are still better than no plugs for both health and sound reasons. Without them not only is everything super loud it is also very noisy (frequency wise)

Every concert I’ve been to here in Switzerland has provided them free of charge. Always use them

Thanks!!

The worst thing about the API changes wasn’t even that most people didn’t care or weren’t on board. It was that they were actively against the people protesting. In real life when this happens I always give some leeway because everyone has their own problems and they might be a bit annoyed by the protest action (which is part of the protest). But on Reddit?? People lost their fucking minds because they couldn’t have access to some subreddits for like 24h.

Sooooo many people failed to realize that even if you didn’t use third party apps that it would still affect you even if indirectly. They didn’t even have to do anything other than literally do nothing/something other that browsing reddit for a day. And they couldn’t. They vilified and downvoted the protesters and took the side of the billionaire trying to take advantage of everyone ruining Reddit in the process

That fiasco in pretty meaningless in todays world events, but fuck, I still find it a great insight into how much we can suck as a species

So it’s still left vs right

The problem is that in the US you don’t have a left party. Just a right one and a fascist one

Haha fucking bullshit

Do you have examples?

I was reading that Wikipedia article earlier today and it said that when that terrorist was in prison he became a fan of Donald Trump and also publicly a nazi. So quite the trio there..

“I also chose this guys dead wife”..

Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death

How do you even migrate history? Would people even want that

Reputation definitely not. Also who even cares about reputation

Subreddits you can migrate in some apps at least

On Voyager app you can “migrate subreddits” at least

Not sure what else would even be feasible

Welcome to Lemmy!!

Welcome

We’re happy to have you here

The more they do shit like this the more they will

I mean, honestly Reddit is a dead site walking. At this point is not if it will “die” but how fast and I guess more importantly where will its users go. Hopefully here but who knows

Of course they would be spending money. That would be ridiculous. They would me MAKING money of course
