Agreed. Perhaps the best implementation is a highly integrated mix of Mastodon and Lemmy where Mastodon is used for general discussion and news and Lemmy is used for organising communities around subjects like politics and religion.

I like this idea.
Twitter was supposed to be the “online town hall”. And online public spaces are not publicly owned, they’re run by private companies that can ban you at their own whims.
With each country having their own federated platforms, they can truly act as online public spaces where the usual laws apply as they would do offline.
You’d need to employ thousands of moderators though if everyone was online but honestly I think it’s worth it.
But don’t be handing out prison sentences for posting stupid shit. Online harassment and calls for violence can still be legally handled the same way they are offline, but jailing people for offensive jokes and stupid hot takes is just idiotic.
Best way is temporary bans increasing exponentially in length, then small percentage of income fines again increasing exponentially.
Also, and I’d argue we already need this, a court system for online crimes. This means the regular court system doesn’t get more workload added on to it and specialist judges and lawyers can be appointed.
The freedom to eat, the freedom to earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s honest work, the freedom to afford a house, the freedom from wall street usury, the freedom patriotically build secure and supportive communities, freedom healthcare, protecting the landscape of the greatest country on earth for all of America’s generations to come, etc.
Loads of ways to spin free market socialism, take your pick.
You know the answer already, but I reckon you’ll be too much of a coward to do it.
Prove me wrong.
Enjoy watching the genocide of your people, you’ll be next, so instead of crying crocodile tears why don’t you do something PROACTIVE about it.
All the information is on the task card, you have two months, your time starts now.
America: where young people are coddled until they’re 18 then it’s either sell your body, sell your soul, or both multiple times over just to survive.
Well they did say “Your body, my choice”. I wonder how they’d react if it was their body and someone else’s choice?
So about €3.50?
They don’t call them “Serving Suggestions” because they’re mandatory, they call them that because they’re a challenge.
This is particularly American sensibility about not drinking alcohol casually around children. It’s very strange. In the UK and Europe, if a kid is having a birthday party at their house it’s completely normal for the adults to be having a casual beer or wine and socialising whilst the children play, obviously not drinking to get drunk and within the legal limits for the driver.
Take a wild fucking guess.
They’re betting that they can sell before that happens and someone else is left holding the bag: pension funds and 401k.
I hope you bought your guns, beans, and gasoline.
I’ve got bad news for you bud about what was originally placed on those Russian rockets before Sputnik, Lyka, and Gagarin.
In principle, under a First Past The Post system you can get vote splitting parties and those votes for those representatives should still be counted because if they got more votes than last time and are on an upward trajectory then those candidates can measure how well they’re resonating with their voters.
But with the USA’s FPTP and electoral college system, I’d agree with you, there’s zero point in counting those votes before declaring the winner because ultimately the electoral college comes down to red or blue which is the only thing that matters in US politics.
This is a shame because a private continent like the US could be the greatest tapestry of all flavours of political candidates and ideologies with debate and compromise if it wasn’t for:
The electoral college and FPTP making it into a two party system.
The hugely biased news media which has no obligation to report factually and fair.
That both sides (with the Republicans being the one that is objectively worse because of their abhorrent behaviour that’s somehow only gotten worse of late) vying for that insider trading perk and getting to control the worlds largest military and therefore dictate history.
I’m glad for you but please remember that progress is not inevitable it is fought for to attain and needs to be fought for it to be kept.
Take her on a crusade to concur the holy land, start a quest to find the Holy Grail, and show her how to slay the dragon.
Piss on these chuckle fucks to assert dominance.
