Hey, just like they’ve already been doing!

Death to Nazis.

That would be great if they would shoot each other!

Strikes me as ironic how the butterfly logo maps right over an ‘X’.

Can we please have a mass shooting on one of these marches?

If you say you support a ceasefire, but you refuse to stop sending weapons to Israel, then you don’t actually support a ceasefire, and the only rational conclusion is that you actually support the genocide. The difference between the Harris and Trump stances are that one of them lies about their motivations.

If there are “two choices”, both of which support genocide, then there is actually only one choice. I did not opt out of any decision. I registered a vote of no confidence.

“You could have had the friendly genocide, but noooo”

Anyone can see through your long winded grandstanding. The shrill desperation oozes from your words.

Just stop trying to paint the dems as “unwilling to take a strong stance against it” when they were absolutely “actively encouraging it”. What is with this liberal disease of totally ignoring actions while obsessing over words?

You think I’ve opted out of a decision, but I think you’ve opted in to accepting genocide. How can you accept such a thing? The absolute minimum you should demand of your party is that they oppose genocide. Otherwise, what is the fucking point?

Lol

Any problems I’ve had with these apps has usually been solved by reconnecting my VPN.

You have to keep the focus on China otherwise you have to face the indefensible American support of genocide. You ask me to seek influence over my own government who already rattles the saber at China, yet I can’t even influence their very direct funding of Israel’s genocide! Tell me how you imagine that would be done? Tell me how I might apply pressure on China in 1/1000 the amount I might apply on my own government.

NewPipe or PipePipe.

Leave aside for a moment the argument we might have about what is happening in China… What the fuck would I be able to do about that? Do I vote in China? Do my tax dollars fund their military?

Extreme leftism is when you have a bedrock principle or two that you refuse to compromise on. Centrism is when everything, even genocide, is negotiable.

Because they liked Twitter, and Bluesky is (presumably) like Twitter before Elmo bought it.

Yeah, it’s kind of a bummer to realize how poor a state those alternatives are in. As much as I like/use/recommend Signal, I do think we need alternatives (even if it was perfect). In a comment in one of those blog posts, the author mentions Ricochet [Refresh] which is a TOR messenger. That looks interesting, but it is desktop-only.

As the other comment says, it hardly matters. Fwiw I think they are well-intentioned but if their strategy is working for anyone, it’s working for the corporatist dem party.

I just remembered reading something critical about Matrix so I went and dug it up:

It’s worth reading all the way through, even if you (like me) have to skim over the math. There’s even a link in there discussing XMPP+OMEMO.

They cannot and they will not. Please do not fall for them yanking the football away from you again. AOC and Bernie exist to give you hope and thereby capture your vote for a party that has no intention of ever fighting for the working class in a meaningful way. We need a real alternative but we’ve given away so much of our collective power (unions) that it’s hard to see a hopeful path forward. Organize with your neighbors and start building trusted communities that will fight together when needed.
