Do you see either of those happening anytime soon?

Oh wow! Any idea why they have different post numbers for different instances?

Ohh I see! Thanks for explaining

Isn't that link still tied to the sh.itjust.works instance?

He's a low-ranking soldier right? Would he have much intel of value to tell NK about?

How does Mastodon do it differently?

Wow, I see. Thank you for letting me see the evidence with my own eyes, and for your patience in this discussion. I’m sorry I was too quick to accuse you of bias.

Honestly, this should be made more accessible than a Telegram post. But I guess it is hard to do alternative hosting.

So far it seems like it might be working out really well for them: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66240390

I guess your average Joe is just gonna take it as things get shittier

My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills.

Honestly, why learn programming then?

I’m asking this as a programmer myself. I’m not trying to discourage you from learning it by any means, if that’s what you want to do. I’m just asking because it doesn’t sound as if you actually want to do it.

You’ve already tried learning it, and it’s a slog (whereas for me, I was immediately fascinated by it when I was introduced to it as a teenager, even though I was horrible at it). You don’t have any burning desires to create apps (whereas for me, there are so many ideas I want to explore, so many things I want to create that don’t exist yet, but alas I don’t have enough time or energy to work on it all). You don’t even have the desire to do it for purely career-related purposes, which is what I’d imagine drives most of the rest of people learning programming without enjoying it at all.

So why bother with learning something you neither enjoy nor have strong motivations to do?

Is there a way to keep the Lemmy homepage set to my subscriptions rather than the default for the instance? I have to manually change it to the subscribed tab every time I open Lemmy

I see, thank you for letting me know! I see this is indeed more nuanced than I had thought.

Can you provide any proof of the “tied to lampposts” claim? I’m fine with seeing video proof if you have it

If you’re comfortable with doing so, make that dossier public as well

I miss that one too. Have the mods there discussed moving to Lemmy?

Support for the war is high in Ukraine. Where did you get your sources for freedom of speech being suspended in Ukraine and people with anti war sentiments getting arrested?

It’s ironic, you claim to care about the people, but you don’t care about what the people of Ukraine actually want.

all I want to see is the meatgrinder stop.

Even at the cost of Ukrainian territorial integrity? That’s for the Ukrainians to decide, and so far they’re picking the meat grinder. More power to them.

That’s me. I’m not abandoning friends who are solely reachable on FB/Insta, but I’ll also talk on signal when possible

That’s so interesting, our Twitter consumption habits are really different. What do you use Twitter for? Just sending out updates to your followers?

Also as an aside, I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see

Thanks, those are great questions and a better way of framing it. What are your answers to them?

And what have you actually accomplished with marching and shouting? I went to quite a few BLM protests back in 2020, got tear gassed and shit along with my friends, and yet still haven’t seen anything meaningful change.

I agree (as I’m already here), but unfortunately I think most “normies” don’t really care
