Sad to learn they are majorly USA owned then. Their offices are still mainly in Paris and the data is processed in France. I have been using them back and forth for more than a decade. At the beginning, you could upload your own library (including copyrighted albums) and make it available for streaming to other people, it was a fun time.

Visible post and comment scores are still going to produce some of this behavior. You may not have a total karma but people will still get dopamine from seeing their posts getting upvotes and be reinforced in doing the same again. So the same mechanisms of social pressure and uniformisation are at play. The worst being when people delete their minority opinion comments because of the downvote pressure.

You can’t take things out of context. There’s currently a far right US presidents creating an economical war with the historical allies and economical partners of his country. The point of boycotting is to try to prove him wrong about thinking that he can impose his wishes by force, the target is him and his government, not the US people in general. There’s also the hope that weakening him could allow a political change next term, which would make things better for our American friends. Of course it is political, but it’s against Trump, not the people.

By right wing, do you mean right of Marxism or do you have some example of conservatism?

It’s normal to expect from OP to provide source for their claim.

Idk what’s the organisation structure, but they can be used as a gift for donators. The EFF does that and has pretty cool original tshirts than change every few years.

Lemmy could pop their bubble of peace with politics and confrontation.

Because its root is ~Marxist techies, I think it takes many newbies by surprise and is not super enjoyable for the average user.

Compatible means Pixelfed group = Lemmy community?

Public transportation subscription.

I didn’t understand how making your GPS more unreliable allowed you to be located in far away countries.
