Specifically, click this and search for a made up name. The goal is not to ddos. This is a useful site that we want to stay up. The goal is privacy. They're not above using this data.

Tell your loved ones that if you are detained by ICE, they can try to use ICE’s online detainee locator to find you: https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search

It helps if you google (specifically Google) things immigrants might google. It hides hotspots on the map for search terms.

Another thing the idiots tearing down USAid don't seem to realize. It's not just charity; it's our insurance. We intentionally overproduce food. Because, as you say, food doesn't grow from dollar bills.

Because it's the root of the problem and is important to be repeated constantly.

Congress took an oath to defend the Constitution. Let's see who cares.

Don't. Please don't.

The news has to be extremely careful with accuracy, or they can be held liable.

Oh wait. That's just for Nazi salutes and rape. If Trump "fires" President Macron tomorrow, the news can just print "Trump fires President of France".

The thing the idiot billionaires didn't realize is that they already had maximum money and minimum accountability.

Money. Which would you rather have, a million dollars or a million rubles? By grinding the US economy to a standstill, they may have more dollars, but they'll be worth less.

When they complete turning us into a fascist oligarchy, they'll have more accountability, not less. Nearly every single one of them will have to spend more time worrying about getting thrown out of a window by a "superior" or shot in front of a hotel on their way to a conference.

They'll have to fear everyone above and below them. They discarded a set of rules that originated from general agreements to help us all get along, and have chosen power and blood as the deciding factor over laws. Well, that goes both ways. Democracy requires some good faith, and we've taken that for granted.

The founders understood this. It's why they invented our system of democracy. It wasn't just out of the goodness of their hearts. That all happened around 1776, as you know.

Between June 14 and July 27, 1794, hundreds of nobles, shopkeepers, clergy, corset makers, vintners, and other “suspicious” citizens were executed by guillotine at Place de la Nation in Paris.

That sentiment didn't arise out of the blue. It was around for decades before it got to that point. The founding fathers were very aware of what was happening there. The English civil war happened in the mid 1600s and the king was executed.

It turns out constant power struggles were often not great for those in power.

But we've forgotten that. So now, instead of learning from history, we'll repeat it.

Lemmy.world is also the most reliable and the smoothest experience.

I strongly have the opposite opinion. Let people start on Lemmy.World and once they have experience (like you), they can move to where they want.

They're an actual non-profit org out of the Netherlands with professional hosting.

Federation is a feature like divorce is a feature. It's extremely important that it exists and is accessible. Not everybody needs to do it. Other servers are a fine option if you know what you're doing and are willing to deal with more issues OR if there's a compelling reason (such as the various regional servers).

When federation between lemm.ee and lemmy.world is behind by an hour or two, where do you think users will have a better experience? When 90% of their content is now a couple hours older, that's a worse experience.

And spreading people out doesn't really fix anything. It just puts more stress on federation technology. If you spread out all the users, Federation becomes a much harder to manage many to many relationship between all the servers, instead of primarily being a one to many relationship.

In short, if you spread out the users equally, suddenly every instance begins to have federation issues with each other, and everyone has a worse experience. With a bigger "main" instance, the majority of users are less affected by federation issues, and the issues are less common.

The regional servers have more of a balance here. 90% of their content may be old, but the 10% they are up to date with are the things closest to them, most important to them, and maybe in their language.

I do appreciate having several general use instances. I just don't want to send newbies there who will generalize their experience to all of Lemmy and the Fediverse.

.ml would be worse than Reddit if they had the same number of users.

The US might be the biggest problem, but we're not where this started.

No shit. Look around.

Turns out genocide is a spectrum, and they're gonna get to experience all of it.

Trump proposes permanent displacement of Gazans as he welcomes Netanyahu to White House

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/04/trump-netanyahu-meeting/

I don't. These people clearly did not vote with Gaza's best interests in mind.

If you want to fuck both our counties with virtue signaling, well you can fuck right off.

Sure, but none of that competes with the causes "I just didn't feel like it" or "I'm not into politics".

Well, grats. Politics are into you.

Name one?

Because when it's going away, the absolute number matters. I don't think anyone disagrees here; just looking at it from different angles.

Welcome to America. By the way, it's rude to talk about politics. And I'm not going to change my family's mind, so I won't bother.

My vote doesn't matter, so I won't show up at the polls, either. Something something Gaza, both sides, Pelosi bad.

We're stuck in this together whether we individually had a choice or not. Regardless of what happens in four years, we've proven unreliable.

Oh no, there's no money or profit motive here. I guess that's terrible.

Looks like there's a viable alternative here.
