Meursault

I can stop my ears from ringing on command.

Welcome, reddit refugees. You won’t miss Spezzit.

The reason you see little official pushback from within the US is because things are far more dire here than you might imagine, as an outsider. The US Republican Party (aka GOP - Trump’s party) is currently in control of all three branches of the US federal government. Ever since Trump took office, it’s been one step toward constitutional crisis after another, and apparently the Republicans don’t give a shit about rule of law when it comes to policing their own. The Democrats (our nominal “opposition” party) can’t really do shit right now except at the local level. We have an unelected CEO compromising every branch of our nation’s government with all the Republicans looking the other way. To be honest, I’m past the point of expecting a fair election in four years. As an American who grew up learning to value the ideals of personal freedom and liberty, to see what is happening to my country leaves me OUTRAGED.

Who said we aren’t mad?

If this were reddit, they’d just be reported and banned.

Eh, on Lemmy, users can really easily switch to a home instance that isn’t doing that, so it’s a little more self-correcting.

And I thought $6 was expensive.

uBlock Origin works wonders. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad since I installed it.

And do what?

And why should the customer care?

Yes, please.

Well, yeah. What else would it be?

…On their own instances because nobody else will have them, hopefully.

Oh, gods yes. Never looked back. This place is like reddit, but with the chill, friendly vibes of Usenet.
