Hey, you know what?
Lemmy for Harris. Let’s do that.
I can pitch in a dollar
Millionaires and politicians simping for money on Mastodon, while otherwise people who are actually disabled, homeless or in need struggle to even get their posts begging for contributions seen?
Wow, didn't expect that of all thing that would enshittify the Fediverse, it would be a politician going for the left.
That's not really enshittification, is it?
I was under the impression that Cory Doctorow's definition was largely based on how social media platforms entice people with "free" offerings, then gradually tighten the screws over time to make service worse. This usually happens when a platform becomes the dominant player.
Even the fediverse community is now about US elections.
I'll tell you what your "fediverse" is all about: USA. And mainly Trump vs Harris.
It's like nothing else exist. fediverse my @$$.
ikr, why do people care? it's not like us politics affects anyone outside the us. this is one country that notoriously doesn't meddle in any other country's matters one bit, and has no armed forces or even political influence outside its own borders.
Yeah, I've blocked every US-specific community I've seen on the everything feed but it keeps spilling into seemingly unrelated communities too. And it's only going to get worse.
a lot of instances are really just Redditors who refuse to use reddit. this is especially apparent with the USA defaultism. the best thing you can do is curate the feed with blocked communities and only stay in subscribed, but as we can see here it even bleeds into totally unrelated shit sometimes, so.
It's like the domino theory. If the US falls to fascism, so will the rest of the western world!
First time I donated this cycle. Wanted to support a good candidate and boost the Fediverse profile. At this point just seeing the logo for the site formerly known at Twitter makes me sick.
You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I'd rather burn it.
A millionaire being opposed by billionaires? Yeah, I'm fine with that.
"Opposed"
Sure.
I keep forgetting Lemmy is ok with millionaires all of a sudden.
The difference between a million and a billioj is about one billion. Millionaires aren't the biggest bloodsuckers by a long shot, so the focus right now is on damage control by opposing the parasites.
Harris has had some INSANE levels of support. This is historical.
I mean, I myself was so fucking depressed that it was between the two, so literally anything that the Democrats would put up other than Biden I'm automatically going to be thrilled about. I could think of a few better options, actually quite the handful of better options than Harris, but you bet your sweet ass I'm still going to vote for her and support the ever living fuck out of her cuz fuck Trump.
People are very justifiably terrified of Trump. And Kamala is really something new and fresh
Good! Maybe I will try this for the Jill Stein campaign then!
