We’re done. Everyone is addicted to it.
I can’t even teach my family how to use a browser, or the concept of a website vs. an app.
A small nugget: I just did a Google search on a history of Trump’s antisemitism, and got bombarded with government pages on his current executive orders and other stuff debunking it. Tried it in DuckDuckGo, got a pile of articles on historical/associate antisemitism.
I noticed a vast change in Google search results post election, especially around anti Trump stuff. You can still find the other stuff, but it’s pages deep or you have to keep removing keywords until you get what you’re looking for.
We don’t need everyone. We have lemmy.
Back in my day the government would step in and stop the Monopoly
Hahahaha - good one

Well, that’s true. That was before Reagan tho. I mean it completed in 1982 but was started in 1974.
Hell we had clean Air & Water laws then.

We need more heroes.
Im so down with the bernie/luigi meme format. It fits perfectly
Please everyone, get your asses on rednote. It’s not perfect but it’s not (currently) under control by the US oligarchy.
ETA: Are the downvotes racism or what? OP’s message that the US is controlling your media has 600+ upvotes. I offer an alternative source and people don’t want it? I’m genuinely confused.
Ah yes, join the Chinese platforms, they’re for sure better than the Fediverse.
Nope, but it’s a good supplement to the fediverse. The rules are different over there. Some better, some worse. By getting your information through multiple diverse sources you’ll have a better understanding of what’s going on in the world.
Or you can be like this when shit starts effecting you personally,
