The apps don’t actually help disabled people, they just exploit and rip them off.

It is low-class and to be a good president, you do in fact have to be better than that.

Rejecting McDonald’s isn’t elitist, it’s intelligent. It’s overpriced disgusting garbage. The only way to eat it affordably is through the app which is what they use to exploit low-class people and the extreme poor – two completely separate groups. Donald Trump is not one of the extreme poor so guess which group he’s actually in (spoiler: it’s the low-class one).

Well, you could organize with your communities to force your county to switch to green power instead of running coal plants non-stop.

Being politically active is one of the best things you as an individual could do.

They’re a proto-government really.

All governments do horrific things because all a government is is the most powerful organized violent group in an area. That’s all government ever has been.

Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

You need to learn that such things are a part of life and you have to deal with it in order to be a member of society. The existence of progress doesn’t negate the need for hate speech protection. All societies have to change with time and that’s okay.

I think you all forgot the purpose behind policies like freedom of speech and natural rights and that’s why you’re getting all mixed up.

That’s what Nazis do and why everyone else is trying to ban them.

Sure, why not.

I’ve moderated several subs back on Reddit, and I run the Real LGBTQ community here, so I know the score.

You literally can just download the Lemmy program and install it on any computer you want to use as a server. I used to run Mastodon servers a few years ago, and it’s not without its hurdles, but with some Linux knowledge and a little bit of server admin knowhow, you absolutely could.

You’d need a computer you’re gonna use as a server, put Linux on it, then install NginX or Apache on it, then Lemmy, then set everything up and get a domain name to attach to the computer’s IP. Question mark, profit. It might be a bit of an oversimplification, but with some research and work, it can be done.

We could self-host using our own computers and infrastructure, and secure them from hackers.

Soda companies could literally just switch to stevia or monk fruit tomorrow and it wouldn’t be a problem. The only issue is their refusal to change.
