The vast majority of Americans have been subjected to a massive multi-decade multi-approach propaganda campaign, and they parrot what has been forced fed into their brains. It’s organized and has been pushed on them by their local church, Christian news outlets, Fox News, local GOP politics, and national news outlets they watch or read. None of this is by accident, and has been pushed on them since before my childhood in the 70s. It took a long time to hit critical mass, but it hit, and at the worst time possible.
What do you mean the people with power to do something won’t? Last I heard, the billion class are buying a bunch of fancy refurbished underground rdecommissioned nuclear silos. They want a safe place to weather the coming societal collapse in comfort. Apparently, these fancy silos come with a huge security force that would never turn on the monied people locked away underground.
Suing the doctors for pushing a false narrative is jarring enough, but they’re trying to get the patient’s names used for all studies. What a fun precedent they’re trying to set!!! I cannot foresee in long lasting issues coming from this if they win.
He is not a real candidate. He is a tool of the alt-right to act as a “democratic” presidential candidate to sow mistrust. He is literally funded by the people who fund various campaigns to screw with the American people and advance fascism.
The fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is an ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other.
But the term you might be looking for is federated. Each platform has its own lexicon for what it stands for and how to interact. Is pictures, videos, content aggregation, microblogging, blogging, etc. there are more than 1200 and each has its own internal language and how users refer to it. No different than facebook, Twitter, instagram, blogger, blogspot, MySpace, …, etc. But, they all run on activitypub, which is an agreed upon format for things. The various forms are new and developing, so every form of social interaction is different in how they refer to themselves.
lol! Just tell me where in fedi you’re making the next app and I’ll be there and actually pay money for this time. Although I’ve tipped and purchased schwag, but I’ll buy the app.
Instances are like Reddit, Twitter, instagram, etc. Each instance has certain rules that may vary from the parent they forked from (see beehaw vs Lemmy.ml). Those instances will then have a structure like subreddits, posts, comments, etc.
Lemmy is similar to Reddit. Communities (c/*) are subreddits
Mastodon is similar to twitter. Microblogs are tweets.
