I’m American and I’ll say both. They(we) let it happen, and our cowardice and inaction right this second just continues it. We had millions of protesters over the weekend. Did anyone listen? Nope. Until we take it back by force, nothing will change and the majority isn’t willing, so, we’re just gonna take it. Every second of inaction is willingness on our part. It can always get worse and does, yet we do nothing.

We deserve it. Maybe it will finally wake us the fuck up, if it doesn’t destroy us first.

There is no better gift to oneself than a clean ass.

Fr? Like fr, fr?

That’s heavy as shit, man.

I can’t imagine my existence being labeled a monster by default. I hope you get that handled. You can’t want to be this way, obviously.

Ehhh. Eh?

Lefty Lemmy. Liberal Reddit.

Seems more the take. Reddit has a small vocal conservative minority.

I use an A15 and don’t use the SD card slot, but I have a home server and handheld gaming devices. I don’t use my phone to store much of anything.

I’m an outlier. I know a lot of users live in their phones without hardly any backup devices. Those are the ones who will be hit hardest by a decision like this.

I mean looks around

Are we invisible?

Hello! Fediverse over here!

Community maintained!

Fresh memes!

rings bell

Come and get it!

Yeah, it is.

I can support myself but, no one else barring a few piddly donations I make once a month to wikipedia and NPR. I make enough to have a teeny bit of fun on top of my rent. I can buy my tools, work on my car and be the dude I’ve always been.

how do you work on your car in an apartm-

I drive to O’Reilly’s and tear it apart in their parking lot. They see it as advertisement. Win for me. Win for them.

I’ve come to accept that retirement might be by way of Smith and Wesson, but I’m 37, helping who I can, doing what I can and just trying to be, man, and I think I’m doing an ok job.

I see my folks, visit my mom, pay my taxes and stay out of most people’s way. When the time comes that insurance doesn’t pay out for some such terminal illness, I won’t feel that bad about going out early. I don’t have a god to disappoint.

The o’l “can’t threaten a man with nothing to lose” gambit.

To rule as road King amongst my band of misfits.

A lot of people dive in as if the entire fediverse has the same level of nerve as 4chan.

There are a lot of sensitive people here. The best thing I learned through my dealings with Mastodon is to be kind, and lurk before hitting that comment button.

The level of discord on the fediverse waxes and wanes depending where you are. There are conversations I’d never have here, that I’d gladly have elsewhere with no ill effects. The right words for the right group of people.

It is all 1000% on purpose.

They intend to ride it out and profit from all of this, and we’ll let them due to cowardice and division.

we could be building a community

Homie, I live in North Carolina.

Any worry whatsoever about the future is met with “God will take care of me.”

well, okay…

That’s not really an option for me. I have torn feelings with my family. My cousins are all my age and like brothers to me, but were taken in by the Trump bullshit like everyone else around me.

Die or lose my family and eventually die? I dunno, man. I might toss a quarter over it.

Crypto, especially BTC, always nosedives with stocks.

You can make out ok if stocks are steady but inflation is rampant, but right now, there’s zero hype to pump BTC with.

Is the botnet itself breaking the law or is breaking the law with a botnet breaking the law?

Think of the shareholders!

Confused and bewildered mostly.

This year I told my family that I’d seen the light and to celebrate because I’ve finally become a conservative christian. 🍾 🎊

Tomorrow is gonna be fun.

no counting crows

They missed the saddest band

The not-bullshit version of this already exists.

Many know it as MySQL, Postgres, etc.

Databases don’t need Blockchains.
