Well, tell me what you want to see…

This place is yours to build and make better without the heavy hand of spez and corporate Reddit. Sure there are power tripping egotistical mods, trolls and bots here just the same, but you can report bad behaviour, contribute non-defeatist good discussion with more thoughtful nuanced takes, submit non-political content in posts, and actually make a difference, unlike Reddit.

Maybe !hopeposting@lemmy.world is for you. Make that community active.

If you’ve given up on Lemmy already, then I don’t know what else to say but good luck on your search for a place that better fits your needs.

PS Reddit wasn’t built in a day either and it was literally built up by bot traffic in the beginning.

Statements from each in Paris en français

The tariffs are one thing, the 51st state threats are another, I would say more major thing.

And then you have the horror stories of the German tourist and that woman from BC applying for a visa renewal at the border. Neither have been convicted of committing a criminal or civil offence yet (the first one just flimsily accused), and instead of being just turned away or even given the option to buy an expensive return ticket on the spot, Customs and Border Patrol see it fit to just stuff them into prison-like accommodations with no firm timelines as to when they get out. Seems cruel and unusual to me, so I can understand why not many Canadians would like to take a chance with that, even if they don’t actually do any work, that an officer could get caught up over anything.

Add onto that the new 30 day registry rules means clearly the US doesn’t want us around for that long.

Well it’s partly my bias too, because when I joined Lemmy about 3 years ago, lemmy.world didn’t exist yet and there were around a couple dozen new posts on All of Lemmy per day at the time.

I’m just really grateful for how much we’ve grown as a site, even if we’re still hardly anywhere close to the scale of modern corporate social media. But imo it doesn’t have to be, I like this.

Lemmy.world is not federating with beehaw.org

Lemmy is small enough, that without even seeing a karma total, some users have an unofficial “rapport”, where I’ve seen them around enough to recognize whether they are the type to go against the grain, a perpetual troll, or a usually reasonable person with an unusually spicy take.

For games, make sure you are subscribed to:

• !pcgaming@lemmy.ca
• !games@lemmy.world
• !games@sh.itjust.works
• !gaming@beehaw.org

All are healthy and active, and I’m sure there are more. I suggest cross-posting stuff from a niche community you contribute to, to one of these, to bring traction to the smaller community.

I think the Canadian national conversation has shifted. Sure, many business will need to or choose to still trade with the US, no matter what craziness starts or stops during or after the Trump administration. But we won’t take the US for granted as a stable trading partner anymore.

The trade war will come on and off over his term, whenever Trump wants to take the media off of a different problem he caused.

A real war is very unlikely, not impossible, but it depends on Trump and how competent Trump’s yes men are at enacting his fanciful ideas. I’d prepared for the possibility between 2016-2020, Trump would drop a nuke, and that didn’t happen at least. But just the same, once again as Canadians we should be prepared for the worst, and work with whatever we have as a nation. They can take a lot from us by force, but they will never take away our solidarity and our sovereignty without us voluntarily giving it up.

I’m happy to field your questions at !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

For not specifically newbie questions but stuff you might feel silly asking on AskLemmy, you can go to !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

For where to share your art: !artshare@lemmy.world

For where to share your political flyers: !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca if they are anything like a meme. !usa@midwest.social is more loose in types of content allowed so your political art (if US related) might be able to be posted there.

So don’t delay, act now, missiles are running out. Allow, if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive. And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow, but if the offer’s shunned, you might as well be locking on the sun.

Mark Rober’s video of the six tests (the remaining section is about mapping Space Mountain as Mark wanted to do since he was a kid)

The wall looking like a road test

Yeah this is totally a holdover from Biden’s weather.

I was more of a Trudeau supporter than most, but yeah the broken central platform promises on electoral reform really stung. Some is definitely right wing indoctrination about giving Trudeau a negative image.

I thought he was a great guy, could speak strongly and plan smartly during CoVID and for other challenges. But aside from initiatives where the NDP pushed the Liberals over the finish line, Trudeau’s government stopped short of really pushing for real change, more to kind of just holding things together with bandaid solutions. I think Carney has the experience and from his speeches the motivation to go further with longer lasting solutions.

*roast test

It’s kinda nice in single player. (Rockstar EAC can you let us play MP on linux plz)

Eby is doing excellently to target Trump loving counties.

inb4 it’s revealed to be North Korea.

Kathy Hochul, even if she is a weasel of a Democrat, is talking with Ford. They are mutually sympathetic in the dislike of Trump and Ford is trying to cut some slack for them too.

Lamp Oil, Rope, Nuclear Subs? You want it? It’s yours, my friend. As looong as you have enough Euros.
