  • Thanks for reaching out to the community. Here are mine.

    1. universal tagging (when you friend or follow a user, whatever they tag (comms or users) is shared with you until you unfollow them
    2. community aggregators. For big communities, merge crossposts automatically on bigger communities like [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected]
    3. better federated moderation. Notifications of mod actions not just on your own instance, but everywhere. When a post is deleted by a mod for a reason, include the OP in the mod message so you can rewrite or remove the offending part of the message and repost the essence. I can imagine lots of scenarios where devs/mods don’t think that’s a good idea, but some of us didn’t read all the rules and didn’t mean any offense.
    4. Deeper publicly available voting analytics (on post level first but also comment level would be good) when you click on […] next to the metadata, get a voting pie chart that shows which instance the upvotes and downvotes came from. Even an barebones analysis tool that checks if a disproportionate % of up or down votes came from an instance that is rather small or only recently federated.
    5. This may be client related, but push notifications on comments, mod actions and DMs would be nice too.





  • Thanks for posting this article with more of the story. Lots of stories on her don’t even acknowledge her recent suicide.

    Obviously a conspiracy but if you look at her last year, when Trump got back in, her life derailed quite quickly. It’s very likely she was being “crazed”. I wouldn’t be surprised if these rings are so well established and powerful they have people who can make sure former victims don’t cause a nuisance.

    Nothing of her last half year of her life stacks up. She said multiple times she wasn’t suicidal and didn’t want to end her life before that.






  • I’m not shitting on it, and it is not enough at the same time.

    I’m amazed at the yanks coming out of the woodwork in this thread.

    You as a collective citizenry have not stepped up. At all. Barely ⅓ voted for him. Probably closer to 20~25% liked him over the other. I’m sure that’s gone down significantly.

    There is not a single person outside the US who is watching this who thinks the yanks are doing enough. It’s great there was one big protest, but it is a far cry from a proportionate response to the crisis levelled at you.

    Instead of attacking people here on Lemmy, I would organise. This isn’t shaming or slamming, it is constructive criticism because as much as we would all want to, we aren’t in any capacity to come land on your beaches anytime soon. And half of you still thinks the midterms will bring reason and mediation to this madness.


  • Easier to argue with me than actually doing something hey?

    You’re making my point: the level of constitutional crisis you’re at snd have been at for at least a year, warrants slightly more than a twice “noteworthy” protest. That’s the argument.

    You can lay off the personalised attacks, I’m just explaining the core point, which you exemplify perfectly: yanks will find excuse after excuse not to make meaningful social change vs any other western democracy.

    And it’s 300+ million. And all the other reasons hopefully will soon begin becoming reasons to go and not excuses to not go.

    People aren’t calling you names, they’re just genuinely wondering how much worse you need before things get to your magical 3% threshold.

    Because it’s pretty bad.

    I mean you’re lashing out at me, that’s how bad, and you’ve never done that before.



  • I’m really not sure what you’re trying to prove.

    In one country 0.018% rocks up at a moment’s notice for a guy they could care less about and has no real effect on their lives, isn’t deporting their families or screwing them out of medicare. He’s not disrespecting their vets or pulling them off food stamps. He’s coming over to golf, that’s the extent of the relation.

    They just don’t like him and will make some time on whatever Sunday he rocks up to tell him that.

    Compare that to to 1.4% (barely 100x more) protesting after years of crimes, n and proud admissions of rape, child molestation, cheating at 3 elections, being illegitimate installed as president right now, impeachments, thousands of illegal deportations of fellow citizens or countrymen, complete bonkers enrichment with crypto scams, gross incompetence on lots of levels, including militarily and economically, embroiled in scandal after scandal

    So after MONTHS of organising, there were 2 protests which had over 1% of the population out on the streets. And now… nothing. Not even a general strike. Because the free markets are so free, you freely would like to express your freedom of expression if you only were actually free.

    Have a look at when that magical 1% threshold was breached in other countries historically and for what reasons.

    And while you’re there, look at what happened after. Typically when you have 1% protests, they are met with action from the goverment. Promises and changes are made to appease the protesters. Back in the USA, they went home, and stayed home. Deportations continued afterwards. And then a bill was signed to make ICE the new gestapo and become the biggest domestic paramilitary organisation in the world.

    Not sure why anyone would ever try to claim “Americans are great protesters, and love civil action”.


  • Well, that’s how things happen in France, Syria and a lot of other places historically. It’s already played out twice in the last year.

    And because of the complete complacency in the citizenry first with Citizens United, then the failure to hold him to criminal account for his many crimes and endless quid pro quo, and the stacking of the supreme court turning him into a king, the bullet is actually the only way to stop him. That or waiting till he collapses, which could be a while.

    There are no more elections or protests to get rid of him. The concentration camps are being built and filled. The only thing left is to get all your highly individualised asses who don’t even know the concept and power of unions and banding together and form a militia.

    The complacency is absolutely insane to see from abroad.

    PS: and learn from JFK: have multiple shooters not just one.
