  • I deleted messenger once I finally convinced the people I give a shit about to switch over to safer platforms. Hadn’t posted on or touched FB in years at that point though. That also prompted me to move to Lemmy (my only real feed-based media consumption); that plus the constant influx of doomscrolling bullshit after the latest US election.

    I don’t “use” Xitter and haven’t for many, many years aside from news for legitimate emergencies that had no other alternative. Stopped using IG after they tried to copy TikTok.

    TL;DR: Enshitification + increasing threat to human rights

  • It’s almost as if proper access to healthcare and allowing each person to make their own medical decisions with a qualified provider prevents all of this issue. Detransition is also none of the fucking government’s business! (ᐛ)

  • You’ve got a good heart lol. I promise “puffy costume for potty time” is WAY better than “lost, cold doggie.” His mild inconvenience is more than a fair trade for him staying safe!

  • Far more positive and civil; people actually engage in their replies instead of the stream of recycled quips. Bad faith discussions usually get called out as such; less astroturfing.

    Small-ish forums probably help with that too since users run in the same circles and there’s less overall “noise.” It’s also much more imperative to comment on posts since there may not be much engagement otherwise.

  • Iirc one of his wives reported him having a copy of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand.

    Found an article:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/politics/trump-fascism.html

    Mr. Trump has long expressed interest in the most notorious dictator of the past century, Adolf Hitler, whose Nazis also used that phrase. In a 1990 interview, Mr. Trump said he had a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” although his first wife Ivana Trump and the friend who gave him the book said it was actually “My New Order,” a collection of Hitler speeches.

  • There’s a news article circulating that some Cincinnati citizens stopped their commute to take and burn a Nazi flag being waved around at a Nazi rally “demonstration” and effectively disbanded it while other Nazis cops were just standing by.

    While the news and internet may try to push a narrative of hopelessness and inaction, there are acts of resistance being taken even if they’re not formally organized. Scraps of hope are still hope.

  • Thank you for sharing! I’m on Mlem (iOS client for lemmy) so I can’t quite see it properly but I’ll check it on web version when I can. Always appreciate a chance to learn :) /gen
