The apps don’t actually help disabled people, they just exploit and rip them off.

It is low-class and to be a good president, you do in fact have to be better than that.

Rejecting McDonald’s isn’t elitist, it’s intelligent. It’s overpriced disgusting garbage. The only way to eat it affordably is through the app which is what they use to exploit low-class people and the extreme poor – two completely separate groups. Donald Trump is not one of the extreme poor so guess which group he’s actually in (spoiler: it’s the low-class one).

Well, you could organize with your communities to force your county to switch to green power instead of running coal plants non-stop.

Being politically active is one of the best things you as an individual could do.

They’re a proto-government really.

All governments do horrific things because all a government is is the most powerful organized violent group in an area. That’s all government ever has been.

Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

You need to learn that such things are a part of life and you have to deal with it in order to be a member of society. The existence of progress doesn’t negate the need for hate speech protection. All societies have to change with time and that’s okay.

I think you all forgot the purpose behind policies like freedom of speech and natural rights and that’s why you’re getting all mixed up.

That’s what Nazis do and why everyone else is trying to ban them.

You’re probably not wrong

I hope they’re wise enough to beam the power down close to the wifi frequency so it can’t, in fact, be used as a James Bond superweapon. But evil people could in principle build their own arrays and antennae up there to have just that.

I will leave and block any instance that federates with Meta, including this one, and go start my own instance, and only federate with others that also block it if I have to. Don’t you dare allow their corporate garbage into our space 😠

Sure, why not.

I’ve moderated several subs back on Reddit, and I run the Real LGBTQ community here, so I know the score.

Which I don’t understand. It literally would be cheaper for them to use stevia or monk fruit and call it a day than to quibble over something so trivial.

You literally can just download the Lemmy program and install it on any computer you want to use as a server. I used to run Mastodon servers a few years ago, and it’s not without its hurdles, but with some Linux knowledge and a little bit of server admin knowhow, you absolutely could.

You’d need a computer you’re gonna use as a server, put Linux on it, then install NginX or Apache on it, then Lemmy, then set everything up and get a domain name to attach to the computer’s IP. Question mark, profit. It might be a bit of an oversimplification, but with some research and work, it can be done.

We could self-host using our own computers and infrastructure, and secure them from hackers.

I’m more of a monk fruit person myself too honestly.

Can we have a talk about that? Please for the love of all that is holy, don’t actually display karma scores in wefwef. Please. :(

That’s probably a good reason not to use Wefwef 🤦

Here, your comments can be upvoted and downvoted, but it’s purposefully not totaled and kept separate from your profile. I don’t know why the devs of that app decided to total them all together – that total is your karma and people did tie their self-worth and their social standing to their karma. It’s what made Reddit so toxic

We all better go say something to the Wefwef devs and make them take that shit off
