Plenty of answers here but I don't think anyone has answered this part:

Surely they would have a much easier time pushing their rhetoric and establishing their agenda by keeping a purposeful distance from that sort of indefensible imagery and symbolism.

So here's my take ...

Musk did the sig heil as a fuck you to everyone that doesn't like him. That's it.

They just won the election by basically lying, ignoring, and playing for time. They can literally do whatever the fuck they like for the next n years with impunity.

Imagine if Harris had won and in her victory speech said something like "Don't worry Don, I'll make sure they give you diapers in jail." It would've been a low blow but we would've loved her for it because it's poking fun at the conservatives for no other reason than to stir them up.

I think there's another, longer conversation to be had about why racism (and by extension nazism) resonates with voters in 2025, but I'm too weary for that I think.

That's why I'm saying the general boycott on the 28th won't achieve anything.

Target specific products, brands, or stores and make specific demands of them.

I don't even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points ...

How will they receive the message if you don't hit their pocketbook?

I fear the only message you're sending is that they're impervious to this type of protest.

I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.

Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.

There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.

Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.

Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.

If so, that's lock in.

That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.

The march 7 to 14 Amazon thing is a better idea.

Anything not bought on 28 Feb will just be bought on 1 march. Retailers won't even notice.

Yeah I don't think either of them would care in the slightest about this type of polling.

Entirely predictable.

Trump was mocking the voting public on presidents day with that "Long live the king" quip.

That said, it's just bonkers that 40% of voters feel like things are going in the right direction. Honestly the whole thing is cooked.

Yeah.

Sadly I think email will be with us for the foreseeable future. It's broken, sure... but it's just so fundamental to the web.

An alternative would need to be ubiquitous, and that seems unachievable.

There's a number of problems with this.

It would only work if enough communities and instances adhered rigidly to similar editorial decisions about what is "political". I don't think that's achievable.

Mods would have to do the heavy lifting in tagging/ untangling things.

It's not going to be as simple to implement as you think.

Posts are already categorised by community. You can block the vast majority of political posts by blocking a few communities and users.

At times if filtered out keywords like Musk and Trump. You don't really need to implement a feature for this. Just get posters to include a tag in the title of their post.

Looking at your other comments, you're not going to be deterred by these criticisms, so my suggestion would be to find the git repo and create an issue to get some proper feedback from other contributors.

It's 6 months old.

Reported on by some major news outlets.

AfD has form for doing exactly this kind of ambiguous gesture.
