How do we separate him from his cult though? That’s the real question. Who would have thunk that in a month, he’s destroyed our economy. How can we destroy his cult’s adoration in the same amount of time?

I was noticing an uptick in the quality of the posts in the last month. It’s to our benefit here.

He just wanted to love himself all along.

I think the difference here is there is not some weird, ephemeral person deciding. For example, at the bad place, it could have been a shitty admin, a good admin or actually spez deciding the rules for everyone.

Here we have instances that make up their own rules on who to federate with (who you see), and whether or not you’re banned (who sees you). Also, the admins of your instance can redo moderation order anyway they see fit. It really will be an instance controlled vibe.

The real thing to be worried about is that if certain instances get too big. They have the most users and can control who sees what across the fediverse. For example, if a super large instance doesn’t want any posts on any volatile or controversial topic to be seen (immigration, Nazi salutes, transgender, etc.), they could just have it not show up on their instance and the biggest part of the fediverse would never see it and have no way of knowing they didn’t see it.

I think they’re going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that’s left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.

That’s a great clarification. There is some overlap, but you’re right, they may or may not see some stars or constellations. The Southern Cross for instance, can only be seen from certain southern state in the US.

A good way to think about this is time zones. The sun is in a different spot depending on what time zone you’re in, so will everything else be in the sky. Also, it depends on seasons because the earth tilts on its axis.

Planets, the “stars” that don’t twinkle, are sometimes between us and the sun (Mercury and Venus). Those planets have crazy patterns and are the evening and morning stars. The planets that aren’t between us and the sun act consistently (the rest).

Our moon travels around us and isn’t attached to the sun, but is in the earth’s orbit. That’s why a lunar calendar and a sun calendar are so different.

When he wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ while serving out a prison sentence at Landsberg, Hitler wrote “whoever has the youth has the future”. In Hitler’s Germany, education would be the key that ensured that he had “the youth” of Germany.

Is it? There is a politics at Lemmy World, ML and a couple of other places. You should check them out.

In this thread:

• He didn’t mean it like that (why would you give him the benefit of the doubt?)
• He’s stupid and saying nonsense (He said he would use 2025 as a guide, he is. He said he would be dictator day one, he is. He’s even trying to have a 3rd term. He is dismantling our government.)
• This was “debunked” (LMFAO, it’s just an opinion link saying it was debunked)

I have never seen so many comments and downvotes on a thread in this community so quickly after it was posted.

But it isn’t, he mixes in the truth.

Again, why are you giving him the benefit of the doubt? He doesn’t deserve it. He said he was going to be a dictator day one, he is. He said Project 2025 is awesome and he’s going to use it as a guide, he did. Why would you?

Edit: Also, it didn’t “debunk it,” it’s just saying what people want others to think. FFS, he doesn’t deserve any of you sticking up for his stupidity being the culprit. Go. after. him.

Do you have a source on that since it was posted 13 hours ago?

Edited to add posting date.

Why don’t you spend all that energy trying to split Trump from his base?

ORRRR, he could have meant it that he cheated? Why are we giving him the benefit of the doubt?

Naaah, that’s hilarious. As I said, why would they do that and not make that the headline?

You must have had a plan to defeat project 2025, what exactly should they have done?

What? They weren’t even showing this part in the headline. It wasn’t part of their story.
