Are people really buying into this 51st state nonsense? It’s never going to happen. Orange man is a legit professional shit talker. Damn near everything he states shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’ve easily learned to ignore his words and simply focus on his actions.
I mean, come on people, it’s current year, not past year.
I didn’t doubt it’s still happening somewhere; just curious how wide spread it is. I read the third link. It was interesting. I wasn’t aware the Justice department spent almost 2.5 years going after lenders.
Americans always think they have the market cornered on everything. As if slavery and racism didn’t exist until the 18th century.
Do you have a recent example of someone who was denied an opportunity, that is afforded to everyone, based solely on their race?
How does one not feel safe on a digital platform? Even if someone physically threatens you, nothing is going to happen to you. And you can block/mute people you don’t care for.
I still use it. For that which I engage, or who I engage with, it hasn’t changed for me. Almost 100% for metal bands. Tours, album releases. We have a pretty cool metal community going. People I’ve been speaking with for many years now.
Leaving a platform you don’t like, or the reasons you don’t like it, isn’t “common sense”.
I can’t imagine what would have satisfied Russia other than complete surrender. Ukraine had few other options than to fight. Uphill as their battle may have been.
Unfortunately, everyone of your quoted feedback is spot on. Lemmy got the worst of reddit’s political echo chamber combined with the “I am so smart” crowd. To make Lemmy barely tolerable, I’ve had to filter far too many words and block far too many communities. Most people aren’t going to jump through hoops to make a platform usable.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“you’re under arrest”
“what’s the charge?”
“butt stuff”
“:(”
Let it go. Fox News can’t hurt you anymore.
If that’s the case, left wing MSM will undoubtedly begin dropping stories making this exact claim. I’ll be on the look out for them.
Hey thanks! I had “Elon Musk” in my filter. Apparently, I have to add one for just his first name too. This damn platform has a huge boner for him.
Delete it for what? I don’t know any of you people. You mean nothing to me. Some of you folks legit need to go outside a bit more.

As a US citizen, it’s never been hostile towards me. In fact, I would imagine most people have had little to no engagement with the federal government (outside of the routine items: taxes, etc…) Now, their state government may be a different story.
