I've come around myself. Centralized government allows those mutants a shot at an expanded Executive seat of power. Federation allows them to fester in their own state.
We can't forcibly save dumb white trash. We can just make Illinois, California, and New York capable of taking the refugees in.
Yeah, it's definitely melodramatic. I just enjoyed how it laid out the actions of Trump that got us here, as well as describing the expanded role of the Executive.
Told another user to take Trump's advice and drink bleach. He's allowed to say it but apparently not me.
Whatever. Reddit has always been a barely redeemable corpo platform. I'm hoping Digg comes back ActivityPub compliant like Threads and puts the final nail in that shithole's corpse box.
Enemy of my enemy is a way to one less enemy.
This is unironically on reddit right now. People lamenting a place like Lemmy doesn't exist.
I'm less worried about Discord, honestly.
It just feels more like Classic Twitter, and I can imagine some users like that vibe, despite Mastodon perhaps having the better technicals to keep social media federated. I use both and they have their audience. There are services that allow crossposting too, so I've got a BlueSky instance out there copying my Mastodon into that feed. Just to reach out.
Depression and beer.
