Bro, that “/s” was definitely needed - I was getting my eye-roll ready

An alternative location for community during blackout is definitely what was missing this time. Mods need to set up and flag the alternative location in fediverse or otherwise) so users and content posters know where to go. This will also place the only real pressure that Reddit will feel - existential threat of a viable alternative ala Digg exodus.

Media watch had an interesting piece on this as well, with the take that the edits were likely less about propoganda and more just hamfisted and misguided efforts to try and insert “balance”, without the understanding that Reuters has extremely strong editorial practices and don’t need balancing.

While the RNZ scandel is a giant fuckup, I still trust RNZ as this is clearly a rogue staff member operating against the organisation, and RNZ are responding quickly, transparently and robustly.

Yeah he’s so fucked. Caught red handed worse than Nixon.

He took top secret documents when he left the white house. They don’t belong to him, they’re meant to be secured in the library of congress or something. Anyway, librarians tried to get them back, he said no, did a bunch of illegal shit (including flashing them around people he wanted to impress) so FBI got involved, raided his place, found more secret documents, special prosecutor was appointed who took ages really nailing the iron clad case together. Now he been arraigned in court facing federal charges. Because Trumps a dumb shit.

I do have echos of google+ with a great community. But that was backed by Google, Lemmy is federated and won’t be killed.

I killed my 15 year old account yesterday. Looking through the history though there wasn’t anything to be nostalgic about - I talked a lot of shit

Nah, this is exciting, like getting out of a mildly abusive relationship that all your friends and family knew was bad and had been trying to get you to leave the jerk for years and now you’re finally out the door. And you feel that spark in your chest, the stirring of anticipation you’ve not felt in a long time.

Get into it, you fucking hedonist
