The apps don’t actually help disabled people, they just exploit and rip them off.

It is low-class and to be a good president, you do in fact have to be better than that.

Rejecting McDonald’s isn’t elitist, it’s intelligent. It’s overpriced disgusting garbage. The only way to eat it affordably is through the app which is what they use to exploit low-class people and the extreme poor – two completely separate groups. Donald Trump is not one of the extreme poor so guess which group he’s actually in (spoiler: it’s the low-class one).

Well, you could organize with your communities to force your county to switch to green power instead of running coal plants non-stop.

Being politically active is one of the best things you as an individual could do.

They’re a proto-government really.

All governments do horrific things because all a government is is the most powerful organized violent group in an area. That’s all government ever has been.

Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

You need to learn that such things are a part of life and you have to deal with it in order to be a member of society. The existence of progress doesn’t negate the need for hate speech protection. All societies have to change with time and that’s okay.

I think you all forgot the purpose behind policies like freedom of speech and natural rights and that’s why you’re getting all mixed up.

That’s what Nazis do and why everyone else is trying to ban them.

You’re probably not wrong

Which I don’t understand. It literally would be cheaper for them to use stevia or monk fruit and call it a day than to quibble over something so trivial.

I’m more of a monk fruit person myself too honestly.

Can we have a talk about that? Please for the love of all that is holy, don’t actually display karma scores in wefwef. Please. :(

That’s probably a good reason not to use Wefwef 🤦

Here, your comments can be upvoted and downvoted, but it’s purposefully not totaled and kept separate from your profile. I don’t know why the devs of that app decided to total them all together – that total is your karma and people did tie their self-worth and their social standing to their karma. It’s what made Reddit so toxic

We all better go say something to the Wefwef devs and make them take that shit off

If any devs ever implement karma into Lemmy, I will shut down my subs and leave.

I mean that with 100% seriousness. Karma is one of the most evil concepts ever conceived in the history of the internet. It brings out the darkness in a motherfucker.

What we really need are for the artists and the gamers and the influencers and the mathematicians and the communities of all kinds to band together, diversify skills, get at least a few trusted members with web dev skills and have the groups democratically control their own instances.

We need democratic control of the internet. Fuck authoritarian centralized websites, they’re just as bad as authoritarian governments.

Macron is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope the people of France remove him from office ASAP. When’s their next election?

Soda companies could literally just switch to stevia or monk fruit tomorrow and it wouldn’t be a problem. The only issue is their refusal to change.

Oh. Well, I think mine might be the only game in town on this instance so far. Part of the reason why I made it. Site’s still new and growing.

Um, from the way the fediverse works, you can see messages and such from other instances like lib.lgbt, but I am not sure if you can directly post there from one server to another. Your posts get sent to the other servers for viewing like how emails get sent to other servers so your recipient can read them, and that’s the most I’ve been able to make sense of it so far.
