Thanks for the tips! I only just downloaded Matrix. (Element X) to my phone. I’ll have to do some more research on it. I personally could probably set up my own instance if I had to, work it to me, probably not. I mostly use discord for game jam hosting these days, and DnD with my friends. So, if the level of effort is high, or the barrier to entry isn’t low, I don’t imagine ill get a lot of people switching over to the new space. I guess we’ll see what happens.
I’m not threatening, I’m gonna do it. We’ll see how my game jams go after this. I doubt my entire community will follow me.
Edit: I downloaded Element X for Matrix, and it seems to only be capable of creating a single chat similar to WhatsApp. Tried to download Revolt, and I cant get that one to even send me a verification code to my email. Starting of strong here…
Social media is a scourge on society, mostly bcz of the propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation campaigns from state actors. This is a very different and real issue we as a species are dealing with.
Right…I’m so glad we are now importing our awful foreign policies at home 🙄
Yeah, sometimes I think this site is really stupid. Everything is an argument about who is the most left wing pure individual. And then we wonder why the right has taken over this country and we’re closer than ever to a literal christiofascist dictatorship.
Arguing that it’s a false dichotomy makes me think you don’t actually care, you’re just trying to win an internet argument.
It’s been all over the news in recent weeks that ICE outright executed people in the street. And it’s commonly known that police in this country shoot first and ask questions later as policy.
I can only assume you think we can reform the police in it’s current form (which is not true), or you’re a troll. Doesn’t matter which, I’m not gonna keep arguing with you.
My comment was specific to the U.S. Police do not make us safer. That’s my opinion. You are free to have a different opinion. I think you’re wrong.
I don’t think so, happens all the time in the U.S.
Please tell me you’re from a troll farm. Bcz this is a hot take if I’ve ever seen one.
I mean, yes they are. But, also we have other words for children at different stages of life. This is very close to defending pedophilia.
What bothers me is that we actually have people willing to do that stuff. Means they are morally bankrupt enough to cover this stuff up without a thought.
Capitalists are so annoying. The hubris to assume we can accelerate climate change and ignore it and everything will just be hunky dory. It’s astounding these ding dongs think they’re outside the Earth system and not a part of it.
There is no problem here.
Right, police murdering you in cold blood bcz you didn’t comply with their orders is so much better.
No it’s not. We started organizing police in the U.S. to protect the property and goods of the wealthy. It’s been that way from the beginning. In fact, it’s pretty much that way everywhere, we are just more blatant about it serving that function in the U.S.
No, the post is very clear. The press is minimizing what happened. It doesn’t at all invite a terminology discussion. You’re being downvoted to all hell bcz you’ve doubled down on your stance no matter who you are talking too.
Why are you trying to inject a terminology discussion into this? Everybody here is clear on what was going on. These were children who were trafficked as sex slaves. It isn’t a debate. You’re either part of a troll farm, or just a willfully dense individual with no actual social skills.
He’s super out of touch, I had a part time job when I was 15 at a Dairy Queen. And as far as I’m aware, that’s still pretty common.
This is such a stupid take. Every time I hear someone say we HAD to drop nuclear bombs on them to make them stop. Its such horse shit. It was a show of force to show the USSR what the U.S. was capable of. Nothing more.
