Social media with algorithms is a cancer. The only cure is touching grass for those people.

What are the differences between piefed and lemmy? Is one financed/supported/organised by commercial companies (or people that work for them)? Are they both grassroots and independent? Do they combat algorithms? Or something else?

For the first option, if possible, having it be manually whitelisted per post/comment or user, would also be handy.

Not directly related, but I’d also like to know where and how to donate to the Lemmy devs and instances, to support the fediverse.

PureOS might be one, though it’s maintained by an American computer corporation.

This guy should have his driving licence revoked.

The wealthiest 10% is not a goal. Why should it be?

The goal should be:

a decent house, a clean environment, excellent public transport, free education and healthcare, and so on.

I remind myself of the API drama and just straight up don’t visit Reddit.

There are good reddit subs but I don’t visit those anymore either because of the CEO being corrupt.

People taking the bus is the entire point.

It’s also healthier than those people going into a car, since more people in buses means fewer cars on the road, and correspondingly, less pollution, and correspondingly - fewer roads and parking spots are needed. Which in turn frees up space to live, enjoy nature, and life.

If you want to motivate people to walk and bicycle, you will also need to foster a good public transit infrastructure: that’ll enable walking and bicycling in other cities. After all, who will walk to another city? You walk to a bus stop, take it, then a train, and then you walk.

Way easier than spending precious minutes on searching a parking spot and being miserable in a traffic jam, stressing about other drivers, and so on.

Subsidised tramlines are a solution. With public transit lines being added, people will also flock to living near those.

You’re aware that taxes exist, right? They can be funded through those.

Besides, it’s best to stop focusing on money like it’s a holy cow … focus on community and accessibility instead: and that is where public transit shines. It makes everything accessible.

The roads can be salted.

In fact more accessible to the disabled, because they now also can use wheelchairs etc. without fear of getting ran over by cars.

Had Woodrow Wilson actually showed clemency, he would’ve saved him.

Fuck Woodrow Wilson.

Maybe we should use a similar playbook but inversely to defeat fascism from within.

iiiiii this is so awesommeeeee discovering your comicssss

He might either be dumb or play dumb. How else did he come to power?

To the future reader: even run of the mill Christian democrats of our time, which are considered the rightmost conservative that’s “normal”, consider Putin and Trump to be insane.

Israel is a genocidal nation.

She’s an hero, that’s she.

Not just that, a tax on ownership of a car as well.

The funds can then to go making public transit free for all, and improving its punctuality, availability, and comfort.

Since it’s free at use and provided for by taxes, it will encourage a ton of people to use public transit.

And if you buy a bike, you get a subsidy.

They are a tool for terrorism. ACAB
