I think both are quite unhelpful. Mocking him doesn’t do anything to him or his base. Worse, it often takes the form of ableism and then you’re just hurting people around you. Organizing does. It’s the only thing the ruling elites fear. Join a protest, a union, a strike, and get more people involved.

I didn’t say anything against organizing? I have something against petty bourgeois libs spouting bullshit in the media and not doing anything useful. I applaud people actually organizing, especially those in labor (unions)!

I did - all these types of ‘backlash against Trump’ that are being reported on are mostly hot air.

Sure, but usually, like here, it’s limited to some social media and press moments. Liberal posturing doesn’t stop fascists. I hope there’s better organizing happening on the ground, but I’m not seeing much from where I am in Europe.

“Widespread backlash” isn’t really something that has any repercussions to him, his entourage or his base.

Ah yes, that’ll do it

Why? That seems like a great addition to his resume in this administration?

I already quit many corporate social media platforms in the years before, switching to decentralized alternatives for some of them (Mastodon mainly), but was still active on Reddit somehow. Then during the Reddit blackout protest, it was as good a time as any to check out and switch to Lemmy. Its downsides for me are also part of the upside: there is no endless scrolling to be done.

cough class war is a leftist struggle But yeah, let’s hope this makes some on the right see the light where their real interests lie.

Overuse of emojis can also really be annoying for people using screen readers. They clapping hands get clapping hand to clapping hands hear clapping hands something clapping hands like clapping hands this. So it’s also an accessibility issue.

Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

I don’t have nor do I want shares in the arms industry. I’m not a fucking ghoul.

More money for the death-machine and profits for the shareholders, hurray!

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Watch people flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot instead of going for something less dystopian.

I have similar issues running Gnome on AMD.

The English peasantry has to be reminded of their place in society!

I think you’ll find that the conflict is quite a bit older than Hamas is.

On the carpet you mean?

This won’t do, they don’t have a pun or funny reference in their URL!
