It’s not though. It could be the point in some cases. But often enough, constitutions have been granted as concessions from the sovereign to whatever group was putting up pressure, often the nobility, who had no further intent to introduce a republic or democracy or whatever else. Just looking out for their own interests.

I always do, but can’t seem to find a fix. Worked perfectly at the start of the year.

Experimental

I like this new format where we scan photocopies of posts.

Interesting that you think I’m American. Just amazed by people stating openly that they’re okay with genocide.

you could? huh, weird flex but okay

The EU will never ban them.

They also don’t use much energy. You can do a lot of reading on one charge.

Anger and hate are not the same. Anger can be a healthy emotion to signal your (personal) boundaries. Not feeling hate is admirable and I think it’s entirely possible, sure.

Our national news service had the balls to end their reporting on this news on a (techno)optimistic note, that everything will be fine if we just make a little effort. Scandelous and willful negligence.

Many of those terrible people don’t give you the same courtesy though…

I already quit many corporate social media platforms in the years before, switching to decentralized alternatives for some of them (Mastodon mainly), but was still active on Reddit somehow. Then during the Reddit blackout protest, it was as good a time as any to check out and switch to Lemmy. Its downsides for me are also part of the upside: there is no endless scrolling to be done.

Can confirm: it’s a great game and really worth it! Loved the dark atmosphere as well.

You’re welcome! Happy I shared it then

Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

I don’t have nor do I want shares in the arms industry. I’m not a fucking ghoul.

More money for the death-machine and profits for the shareholders, hurray!

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.
