i’ve been on the receiving end of his cunty-ness in person as a lowley tech support minion that he was forced to work with, as well as several other well known pioneers; i can tell through this thread that dessalines is an angel by comparison and i’ve never met them.

this post makes me wish lemmy.world did the same thing

the same thing i did when even biden, et al. voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; supported gay ban in the federal gov’t and stayed silent on a slew of anti-immigrant & anti-abortion state laws.

why is duckduckgo out?

yes but reddit always sheds users every once and a while

There’s lots of LGBTQ+ and FOSS (I wonder why lol).

the lemmyverse was created by tankies as a leftists social media platform; it moved to center right and octupled in users when reddit went full corporate.

there’s a lot of overlap between lgbtq and left leaning views as well as left leaning views and foss enthusiasts.

hi. are you me? lol

I’m an Aussie in my early-mid 30s. I’ve been living in the USA for the past 11 years. I’ve been a software developer, mostly focusing on web development, since the late 90s personally and since the mid 2000s professionally.

so your birth year would be somewhere between 1987 to 1993; you started professional web development when you were 14 to 20 years old? you moved to the us somewhere between 20 and 26 years old?

i didn’t even start dating until i was 27 and my career at 26 while my first website was at 16 years old and i never truly left the country; you’re either very impressive or lucky af! i envy you! ;)

getting a challenge to your world views can be healthy; i hope you enjoy your echo chamber

the closest thing to actionable items is to identify with op’s experience and wish them good luck

there’s a couples sites out there that will show you which instances are federating with each other and you can see a trend of lemmy instances effectively creating echo chambers with moderate viewpoint dominated instances driving nearly all of it.

if this trend continues, the fediverse will eventually go the same way that the other reddit diasporas went so i’m also looking for a new place; good luck fellow wanderer

It feels like the powers that be have perfected the art of setting a popular dialogue with movements that credibly threaten their interests, guaranteeing that they always get their way and it’s so thorough that pointing this out gets you branded as a tankie.

Even that word feels like another psyop on its own with the way leftists use it as a cudgel against each other; also guaranteeing that we will never be able to work with each other to accomplish anything of merit.

bernie’s biggest potential in this situation is calling out biden as an ally on his record and past support as publicly and loudly as he can and still saying that he supports biden.

i plan on voting for biden and i will only blame democrats; not other leftest; if he loses like the polls say that he will.

he’ll never be our president if democrats don’t change and his biggest way he can help the situation is by giving very public and persistent voice to the criticisms he’s levied against biden during his last 2 presidential campaigns

that explains the look of disdain. lol

my very senior void is too inflexible to groom well and also gives me a “fuck you!” look after i bathe and groom him myself.

and yet he continues to shill for them

kitty looks matted; i hope it’s no causing any pain.

i just left austin because it’s becoming an increasingly facist shithole because anyone with above room temperature iq in austin knows that the state will continue to do everything in its power to reign in austin so they leave; like i did.

the only gem in that place is houston and that is a much bigger target in the texas government’s eyes than austin ever was.

there are holdouts and they will continue to hold out; ineffectually and pointlessly struggling for the rest of their lives.

add arizona to that list

The Fediverse is undeniably very left leaning currently, which is surprising to me since you’d think the anti-censorship design on paper would appeal more to people on the right who are against big tech and censorship, but I guess not? It’s interesting.

american conservatives care more about denying rights and liberties than anything else as evidenced by their leaders and publicly shared platforms; so if you believe that censorship has anything to do w it, you’re not a conservative.
