  • As someone else said, getting the Republicans elected will not improve anything if people don’t change things from the bottom up (it will actually make everything you’re angry about worse). The Democrats won’t change their stances if they lose that election unless new people take the place of the politicians in place at the moment, they will just rely on people being angrier at the Republicans than they are at them after Trump’s next term, the result will be four years of things getting even worse and the Democrats having to fix even more shit when they get back in power in 2028.












  • I’ve mentioned it elsewhere but the way Lemmy was implemented doesn’t make sense from a user perspective.

    The hosting should be decentralized, there should only be one website.

    Server admins would choose if they agree to host NSFW content or not and would have the power to stop hosting content from certain communities but it should have no impact on the user’s side.

    All content should be hosted on three servers at all times so if one shuts down there’s still a main and a backup server until they’ve finished uploading the content to a third server. All the same content wouldn’t necessarily be hosted on the same servers, what’s important would just be that there’s triple redundancy.

    So yeah, make it like any other website, just decentralize the hosting itself… and that’s exactly what providers for major websites do as a matter of fact, so just do the same thing but using servers owned by a bunch of people instead of one company that has server farms in multiple locations.
