I haven’t been banned from Reddit.

I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don’t want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.

Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that’s a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.

They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it’s not.

-3.7% would be a dream compared to what’s actually likely.

The possibility of a situation like this is why people never succeeded in repealing the second amendment.

And whether or not we agreed with that fact, it is likely to have some effect on the situation now.

This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police’s retirements were also wiped out, and the police’s family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it’s too pessimistic to say what you’re saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.

An uprising seems likely, and an attempt at brutal suppression also seems likely, but the United States regime has also made enemies of almost every other country on the planet, and the groundswell of people is very large. The number of people in the protests today was massive:

If you see the sheer numbers, it’s enough to give hope.

Visa won’t be able to make commercials like this anymore.

Well it won’t be after the next one!

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of Dred Scotts of our time.

Dobbs, Trump v Anderson, et cetera.

38.3% of voters.

Not 38.3% of the population.

Pretty significant difference.

The USA is the country where you have no say in whether you get your own healthcare, but you sure get a lot of opportunities to deny needed healthcare to other people!

As a U.S. Citizen, PLEASE don’t buy these products. Please don’t give in.

As someone from the U.S., I was so hesitant to switch to another OS, but damn. With everything that’s going on, I kind of feel that I have to switch over to Graphene OS.

This is insane.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.

No they came for the trans people first, too.

The more money you have, the more daily annoyances you can pay to get rid of, and the smaller they are. By the time you have billions of dollars, the things that annoy you daily can be EXTREMELY small and petty. You become disconnected from what other people are dealing with.

Gee, I can’t imagine why Germany would want to slow down government actions…

Do you prioritize not having illegal status in another country over your own ability to stay alive and stay safe?

Just make sure you never go anywhere near a protest unless your phone is in airplane mode or off. Governments can use phone networks to tell whose phones are active within a given area.

And talk to the people there to learn how to be more effective.

Each day’s protest has more people than the last, even on days when the weather is awful.
