There are definitely far left groups, primarily in Europe, that ally with Russia. All groups on the fringes have proven useful for spreading pro-Russian propaganda. In the US, Trump’s pro-Russian sympathies and general stupifaction of the GOP has led to the GOP becoming an ally to the Kremlin. But prior to that, both parties were anti-Russia with Republicans being moreso.

shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn’t a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.

Ironic when X shuts out anyone who isn’t logged in and shuts out anyone who doesn’t pay for a blue checkmark from having visible replies.

Having an X account isn’t consequence-free - if it becomes where updates occur, people have to sign up for an account and subject themselves to nazis everywhere and all manner of crypto spam just to see updates. And they have to pay Elon tribute to be heard in response. It’s crazy that anyone sees it as being friendly to users.

Ok sure just let the US keep the second best train system and the #1 city for park access, also the people that would be most down for this.

Don’t forget DC. Everyone forgets DC.

It would be great if both the east and west coasts join Canada. Then there’s a new leader of the western hemisphere to replace the US, better and more modern.

It would be great to have a fediverse service for Meetup. Bending Spoons is aggressively enshittifying the original site, definitely ripe for disruption.

At first, the internet was for nerds only and not “for the masses”. Then corporations realized there was a lot of money to be made, and they forced user-friendliness on it. And then the masses came.

Don’t worry, in two decades we’ll have Fediverse 3.0 which will just be a balkanized assortment of sites that don’t communicate with each other and are worth trillions, all owned by people who bafflingly support President Kid Rock.

These are not the same firms behind the proposal though. I know some of the funds listed like Blackrock and State Street have supported DEI at least in the past and have been targeted by the far right for that reason.

The shareholder is a group called “National Center for Public Policy Research”, a far right organization.

Killing a CEO is still doing nothing about the deaths caused by the insurance industry. How would it save lives of people harmed by privatized healthcare? If anything, it makes that anti-private-healthcare crowd look like a bunch of murderous zealots and will drive away any sympathy, making the problem worse. See: effect on indian raids on views of Native American rights, effect of Hamas attacks on views regarding Palestine, etc.

This is more like you let the train go and kill 5 people, or you pull the lever and kill one person, but that track loops back around onto the same track and kills the 5 people anyway, and then keeps going and kills 5 more people just tied on the part of the track the train already passed.

Let’s be real, many would pull the lever anyway because they just want to feel like they did something about it.
