Nobody can answer this question for you but I think to the countless examples of people not “getting out while they can” who are now–or were until their death–forever trapped in a bad situation that people today forget wasn’t that bad even within living memory

Is it right for you? I don’t know

Is it cowardly to let a sense of national loyalty compel you to be exposed to the mechanisms of government wielded by untrustworthy actors? No, and anybody saying otherwise is lying to you at best; lying to themselves at worst

Inb4 any what aboutisms: nothing I’ve said here is specific to any country

Those are 2 very different questions

More people always read the top-level comment

Certainly cite sources when relevant but never argue with a reply

Fruit bats, a banana peel, 2 of Saturn’s moons, the moment in time clothing was invented and anything else

There are no restrictions specified

I looked into moving to other countries which made it very obvious which skills were worth cultivating, changed careers accordingly and moved somewhere (in the US) that isn’t fully car-dependent until I could accumulate decent savings/investments. This was pre-covid and “orange pilling”, I just kinda lucked out

And, no, none of this was easy, just easier than saying “I’ll accept this without a fight”

I was just thinking this sounds like Lemmy becoming e-Mormons

The fact is most people are perfectly happy being herded like cattle if it means avoiding a slight learning curve and new ecosystem

I could be wrong but is the previous statement referring to Lemmy, Mastodon, Linux or my entire career of shielding management/entrepreneur types from minor technical details?

Oh, that Tokyo

I worked at a company that wanted to kill their app (just a web view for the site anyway) but trying to convince all the users to move proved unfeasible

I suppose having a dedicated “launch this website” button has some level of convenience over typing out the URL

Tbf, the 3rd party apps improved greatly over the past 6 months

Forgive my ignorance (actually, no, bitterly hold a grudge against it but answer the question through your repressed seething anger) but why are there 2 Mastodon logos?

Not sure that’s how I’d describe '02 -'07

Remember when Elon made all driving jobs obsolete with AI in 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2017?

Lemmy.world, by its own continuous admission, is not a free speech platform

Community moderation simply isn’t the issue most people leaving Reddit were looking to solve during Rexit

There was that one guy who built steam powered-rockets and claimed to be a flat earther then died https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hughes_(daredevil)

To be fair, his PR team said (after his death) he only made this claim to attract funding. Make of that what you will

It’s uncanny how the black knight skit perfectly summarizes Russian military doctrine

Well played, Boomer

I’ve seen systems in university use T for Tuesday and R for Thursday but they needed to print to paper with a single character wide column for day

Still, most people understand if I use MTWRF
