I'm not affiliated with DBZer0 beyond being an active member, but today I decided it was time to do my part and donate. We all benefit from this place. We all have a haven to share our knowledge and shitposts. If you're reading this, I'm talking to you. Socialism begins at home.

We are seeing IP hawks do more and more to shut down our piracy sites, streaming sites, and even the places we come to just talk about these things. Our safe spaces are made possible by a handful of generous people who spend their money, time, and brainpower to create places where we can come together. They don't have to stand alone. We can have their backs.

You can donate to DBZer0 at the following link, or by clicking the pirate themed coffee mug in the sidebar: https://ko-fi.com/db0

My donation has given me a sense of pride and community. I'll be doing this every month until the wheels fall off. I know some of you will see this and hear the call--now's the time. We owe it to each other.

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm glad to see the growth of this community. Thanks to everyone posting/commenting/voting here! The increase of subscribers as well as posts, however, warrants a clarification/addendum to the contribution rules:

Only post socialist memes That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. (e.g. the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads)

this will be added to the sidebar as rule 0.

For more serious contributions and discussion, there is always:

!actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I also want to appeal to you to report posts/comments that you think violate the rules. This does not mean, however, that you should report contributions that you simply dislike or think are not of high enough quality. The downvote button exists for filtering like that (so please use it, as well as the upvote button when you see good contributions!).

The political compass is an incredible simple tool and as such it's usage is limited, but I think this might be a useful/interesting way to visualize/relabel it.

The former South Carolina governor's remarks were her first on the matter since she dropped out of the presidential race. But she stopped short of formally endorsing her former rival." - npr.org

This should disambiguate between Jan 6 and generic “fed up”, right?
