That’s why I came to lemmy 🥃😎

Piefed I think kinda of merges similar posts, but I’m not exactly sure since I don’t use piefed. Otherwise, each instance can make their own mega thread

Ahh yes, the 20-year experiment that the entire platform was built off of 😄

It includes some YouTube channels.

So are you for or against mass surveillance veiled as “child safety”?

It was one of the first to make voice chat really really easy for gamers. Yes vent and ts existed before, but discord made it soooo easy and had integrated irc-style chat

Tiktok was THE platform for pro-gaza content and solidarity. Leaks from Congress proves this. It’s a shell of what it once was now that the US oligarchs are in control of it and have turned it into their right wing spyware platform.

Blocked for unironically using the word ‘tankie’.

Kinda like fediverse in general. That’s the price of a non-corpo platform

Just a brief skim of this and I’m already so lost lol. Thanks for the link though, I’ll have a more detailed read through later.

Man, I’m pretty techy. I work in tech. I’ve learned programming, etc, I use Debian. but selfhosting seems so daunting, not to mention inconvenient. I need to get into it though 😓

I’m a hipster and also anti-capitalist. Tired of dogshit corpo social media enshittification

And yet the USA continually loses wargames: https://breakingdefense.com/2019/03/us-gets-its-ass-handed-to-it-in-wargames-heres-a-24-billion-fix/

Don’t believe anything they say. It’s all propaganda and psyop.

The only “evidence” I’ve ever seen cited (by western media of course) was all stuff the US does on a larger scale: blocking candidates from ballots, closing/changing polling places at last minute, etc (can’t remember the rest, it was too stupid to take seriously). I have however read several accounts that the elections were overseen by hundreds of world officials and has been repeatedly said to have been one of the most democratic elections ever.

Hmm, believe this or the US who has been meddling in South America for 70+ years? 🤷‍♂️

The bourgeoisie have the ability to ride out a strike for weeks, even months. Can you? How long can you go with no pay? We are nowhere near organized enough.

Ol double tap civvies Obama getting peace price…

All presidents are war criminals 😒

Animated signature banners were fun

While I miss forums and “old internet” in general, reddit-style threads is a zillion times better.

I think what people actually miss is pre-corporate, pre-botted internet, where everything felt more real, personal, and insightful.
