But seriously, this is very cool and I love to see people being creative and sharing things like this. I saw your earlier post about this and it seemed like a great idea.
Also Piefed is awesome and it's great to see more people discovering and talking about it.
Billions of dollars can buy a lot of fucking freedom and liberty.
Not really. You can free yourself from many societal restrictions, but you can never be free from who you are and what you've done with your life. Nor can you be free from the social climate in which you exist.
Money can buy a lot of freedom, but it's like an asymptote. The closer you get to complete freedom, the more you realize that it's impossible to obtain, especially in modern society.
I'm not so sure they want to "persuade the leftists", I think they probably just want to find other conservatives to validate their feelings. But there isn't any space for that on Lemmy atm.
They'll probably need to make their own servers, which will immediately get defederated en masse. But I think Lemmy should be for every human being who seeks knowledge, even conservatives. That doesn't mean we need to federate with them, but that's the nature of open source software. You can't pick and choose who uses it.
I just try to avoid it entirely. Every post gets heavily downvoted anyway because conservatives are totally outnumbered on Lemmy. So it's mostly people mocking them.
I feel like it's so confusing if you just see the comments without the posts. But also the comments are the best part of Lemmy so it kinda makes sense.
I'm already addicted to Lemmy so that's not an issue
Wow. I never even noticed that option before. That's actually pretty cool.
But kind of sounds like a bug in that case, because if the admins wanted to remove the community then it shouldn't be possible to view comments from there either.
Pretty sure that's been a thing for a while. It's like when lemmy.world blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. They are still federated but they just blocked that one community.
I assume that's what lemmy.ml is doing with the conservative community.
Mother of God, I did not realize that he's pushing 70k comments.
Btw are you just joking or isn't there actually a tool that checks Lemmy profiles and gives a neat little scorecard with some stats? I remember reading a thread where someone linked it but that was a while ago.
I'm not familiar with the details of that, but it seems like more of a red herring to me. A form of controlled opposition to divert people away from truly revolutionary platforms.
Of course it has to seem like a plausible alternative, but is it actually decentralized or altruistic enough to make a meaningful difference? I think not.
The US is too damn big and got populated too damn fast. You try coming up with 100 trillion place names in a couple hundred years without making any duplicates.
They even assimilated a ton of Native American names despite conquering and appropriating their lands. Goes to show how desperate they were for original names.
I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.
But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.
Meh, there's little reason to think Adams knows which way the wind is blowing. More likely that he just needs to make a ballsy bet to salvage his career, and going against Trump is a guaranteed political win in NYC.

Please let them not ruin Firefox with some bullshit AI. I can't take much more of this, Firefox is one of the last things I have left.
