Yup, that’s a major reason why people didn’t want to leave twitter. They’d built a following that they didn’t want to rebuilt.
I know people who hated elon Musk and had accounts on other microblogging platforms, but continued to post on twitter because that’s where they got their fill of engagement.
Shifting away from reddit to lemmy is fundamentally easier than it is from Twitter to mastadon. I think it’s part in due to the nature of the type of social media platforms they are.
And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.
I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.
Basic history told me that?
Here, check under modern - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine
Yes, true that.
I’ll even concede that you can find some common ground with them short term.
Sure, harm reduction is good. That’s what’s been happening for the past century.
But you give the liberals an inch and they’ll take a mile. They’re only “liberals” as long as they’re making money of others, as soon as something goes wrong they’re first in line asking for government handouts. That’s why the liberals will always prefer fascist over left wing idealists, because they’re opportunists more than anything else. They’ll backstab you and vote in fascists if they think they can make more money with them. That’s exactly what’s happening in the US.
We need new politics where hating on the LGBTQ+, immigrants, women, and putting money over the lives of few isn’t considered a political leaning.
We also didn’t have modern medicine for 99.9% of human existence. Want to return to that?
Look at what you made me do!
I wouldn’t have considered genocide, if you weren’t so idealistic!!
If you had only partnered up with the people who only care about money, we could have returned to the status quo.
Mate, the goal is to be idealistic. No one is perfect, but we want to strive for what’s the best and hope we reach there some day.
No it hasn’t. It’s just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say “You call everyone a facist!”. This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.
