Man, do I not miss reddit one single fucking bit. I have never once looked back since leaving in the first wave of APImageddon or whatever we’re calling that. Every post I see or article I read just validates that decision.

reddit has always been risky in one way or another. When I first joined in 2013, it was 4chan-risky Now it’s Facebook-risky, which is honestly much more ultimately harmful and nefarious than 4chan-risky, even if 4chan and facebook of today share a lot of the same trolls.

Billionaires want to herd us and all of our communications into these controlled networks for a number of nefarious reasons, but the reason that matters most to you and I right now is that they know that people need to communicate in order to coordinate, in order to stand up to oligarchy. Facebook isn’t going to let people coordinate a general strike on its platform, and neither is reddit, or youtube, or any of these totally captured networks.

We need to own our comms, which means that the fediverse itself isn’t sufficient either.

So say it with me: Meshtastic

You need a cat.

It is darkly funny, on multiple levels, that thus far the best impediment to the Mechanazis is their own dumb fucking incompetence.

They certainly are not being thwarted by an “opposition” that is cowardly and craven, if not outright complicit.

I am just the right age for this meme.

Welcome to the divide between mainline and evangelical Christianity.

The latter is where most of the crazies hang out.

No need to make it personal. I am doing my best.

In an election that is bound to be contested in the courts (“in the courts” here being an absolute best-case aspirational umbrella statement covering any form that dispute will likely take, including violence in the streets) for some time, it’s actually really not the worst thing at all for someone being parked in the Whitehouse who is not directly involved in said dispute.

She has a truly winning smile.
