Yeah...I believe a revolution could, easily, break out in America.

...I don’t see that happening before revolt does.

This has come to my mind many times. I have this gut feeling that a large portion of our population will just come to the end of their rope with nothing to lose. I believe that a massive civilian uprising could begin to dismantle civilization as we know it. It could get ugly here.

About five years ago, I tried to make my way through One Pixel Wealth. It was so disheartening that it took me several months to get to the end. My mind and emotions were so taxed by the experience.

I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien warned us, through his books, about 'diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold'. The, roughly, 400 Americans (representing the '1%') aren't human.

I don't know where America is headed, but this country I live in is in despair and need of great reform.

late-stage capitalism

I haven't heard about this. Would you mind explaining?

BTW, my brother lives in Portland Oregon. I was able to visit him last year and was impressed by downtown and the shore.

...behave want too nice away from Lemmy?

^^^ Brand new sentence!

We are discussing moving Beehaw off of the Lemmy platform, yes.

MAPS is doing great work!

Correct.

The statistics being kept on January 6 is astounding.

More than 1,265 defendants have been charged in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Oh yeah! I remember using BBS prior to WWW.

Some days I just have to unplug and spend the entire time outdoors.

What my parents used, yes!

Thanks for the links!

Interesting! What, precisely, have psychedelics healed him from?

The obsession with numbers (the more the better) is a major blinding effect in societies driven by hierarchical cultures.

So true!

Back in the day I used IRC but prefer Signal and Matrix now. I, also, use an email client.

My favorite was Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap. Absolute crazy talk on that bottle!

Way back then, how did you spend your time while having a satisfying bowel movement?

No worries.

Just curious why that’s such a big strike against it.

There's no strike from me.

I believe it’s open source as well.

It is.

...I’m sure there’s more to the story!

There is. However, I'm not aware of the full story. All I know, personally, is that he was a former Reddit administrator. He left, for whatever reason(s), and formed Tildes thereafter. My self, and several of the current mods/admins at Beehaw, helped him beta test the site/software.

Is it possible to have some communities be exclusive to Beehaw users?

I'm, fairly, certain the answer is no.

In response to your second paragraph, we are better than holding our heads above water. We have been planning/discussing solutions for months...we will come up with a way out of this predicament...it's only temporary.
