Even in European countries there are two dominant parties that work with others on their side of the aisle. In fact the concept of a left and right comes from France.

Polarization is universal in politics at the scales or democracy.

I feel many people are so privileged on both sides of politics that they have nothing better to do than to create their own problems.

Many people, including myself personally, have been telling people how much of a liar he is for at least 6 or 7 years at this point. Ever since the “hyperloop” nonsense got big.

Pleasantly surprised with SpaceX and Starlink delivering, but even those are plagued by Musk over promising in what is actually doable.

Sounds like back pedaling.

Part of being free and accessible for everyone is allowing defederation.

Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff. Lemmy does not have a central administration that can make decisions like that, as each instance gets to decide if they federate with another instance or not.

There’s no doubt going to be a banlist that gets shared amongst the biggest, most popular instances to get rid of the trolls.

That’s fine, I’ll just buy used phones instead again. I will never go back to using big carriers who want me to pay twice as much as a MVNO.
