The core function of lemmy, is following communities, either built around a topic, region, or anything else.

The core function of mastodon, is following people.

The only way to make microblogging tolerable, IMO is to follow “topic-based” accounts. I might be interested in what a person thinks about a topic, but I’m not interested in what food they ate that day.

There’s also the issue of overwhelming feeds: not everyone can be a celebrity, and there’s a limit to the number of people we can hold in our heads and follow, before our entire day is wrecked. I can’t use most microblogging because its just too overwhelming, and I don’t care about celebrities outside of a few writers or academics.

Bullies target the defenseless, and always pick weak targets. So unarmed protestors who pose no threat, are going to get attacked far quicker than an armed and disciplined group.

But unfortunately US cops can kill anyone with impunity so no one is safe even if they do defend themselves.

Depends on the instance. A lot of instances let themselves be overrun by US reddit reposters, filling every community, and they moderate none of it.

At least on lemmy.ml we try to keep US content quarantined to US-specific communities.

Depends on the country. There are many US specific communities like https://lemmy.ml/c/usa

Fell for it again award

I used to use typing.com, but for the last two layouts I learned, just keybr. It adds keys slowly, and makes sure you “level up” to more keys in a uniform way.

They’re gonna have to take everything out until all that’s left is illegal possession of machine guns.

“What are we, a bunch of asians!!??!”

Rule 1

Not sure they think that far ahead. Its also about throwing their weight around and showing the rest of south america that they’re not afraid to use the military against anyone who opposes them.

I feel like at least half of the peace prizes have been given to pro-western / color revolution “dissidents” since the 60s

It’d be great to see a coalition of countries oppose the US bombing campaign in latin america.

Go for a walk (outside) every day. I used to try different posture exercises, running, sprinting interval training, but as you get older, nothing is healthier and easier on your body than just daily walks.

We kinda are walking machines anyway:

Bonus points for mental health if you walk in nature, without any headphones or entertainments.

Also do strength training (you can get hand barbells very cheap if you don’t have a gym close by), starting very light at first, and working up to whatever feels comfortable.

Are the russian bots in the room with you right now, contaminating your precious bodily fluids?

So much arrogant, condescending chauvinism in this comment.

We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like “commie”, and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you’re currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we’re seeing a lot of witch-hunters).

Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, “hey everyone, what’s a heathen?” And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed “heathens”.

It’s essentially just the modern day “commie”, used to carry out mccarthyite witch-hunting against anyone perceived to be “anti-white”.

Please use /s tags, because its impossible to tell sarcasm otherwise. There are unfortunately a large number of ppl who believe your statement unironically.

Mccarthyite redditors out in force today.
