It wasn’t really newsworthy, just an abandoned instance hijacked by a handful of nutjobs.

Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!

People being antisocial toward their own spouse getting up voted is a troubling sign.

I recommend avoiding social media.

It’s clearly biased against fingered folks!

Are you making a distinction between those who vote Democrat and the politicians in the party? I would say there is quite a difference there.

If you came to talk politics, your gonna be a minority. If you came for hobbies, it’s a pretty chill place. Just block the major ragebait type communities and it’s all good.

I’m not sure there is even a video on that shitty site.

Yep, straight A’s in all AP classes right up until college. Party life and not being prepared for the stuff you are talking about really derailed my progress.

Ultimately I realized I can make good money in IT without a degree but it’s still much harder to get past the automatic screeners without a BA.

It would be nice if other industries had certification programs like IT does. I took a couple classes not long ago and really enjoyed them but it’s so hard to manage work, school, and parenting nowadays.

Stay in school kids!

Kanye goes by something else? You know what, I still don’t care. Nevermind.

Damn, I can only can block users, not instances. Thanks though!

Shame on you.

What/where is the meatball menu please?

I don’t think “free speech” and “don’t be an asshole” are incompatible. I do mostly agree with your take, there different flavors of asshole that are more tolerated than others though.

Ya, the tech interests me. It feels like a version of the earlier internet where private forums and webrings were the norm. I like the native support for blocking things I don’t care to see as well.

You don’t have to be a right wing extremist to be libertarian (small L).

Ya, most young people I know that are not in tech are terrible with tech. They have only experienced EZmode and need shit put on a silver platter.

Wow, this response reeks even more of bot.

No fucking way will I ever support AI having rights. It’s game over then, just hand all the power to corpos.

It does beg the question of why federate at all if you are going to make a walled garden anyway? I would think a private forum would cost a lot less to host too.
