Trinity is criminally underrated. Compared to modern lightweight desktop environments (XFCE, MATE, LXQt, etc.), it's far more feature-complete and in spite of that it manages to run lighter than any of them.

you haven't encountered very many actual leftists, have you?

edit: you're a lot closer to being one of those republicans you hate so much than any leftist who wants to hold both of your war-mongering parties accountable for their role in a genocide btw

"any opposition to our guy must be from republicans and republicans are 100% bad therefore our guy's genocide is 100% good" -you, apparently

Those of you who think the problem is data scraping or whatever are totally missing the point. All profit-motivated social media platforms engage in promoting hate content for engagement, and in doing so have deadly real world consequences. The Fediverse is one of the few online spaces where people can just be themselves naturally without being manipulated by algorithms. Given their history, there's no reason to assume Threads won't be any better about handling their own community, and anything that happens with them will affect the rest of us.

you're getting downvoted but you're fucking correct.

this place is becoming just like reddit in that people dig up any sort of injustices they can find (or fabricate) toward men and then incorrectly blame it on feminists and women without so much as a citation. hateful misconceptions then spread like wildfire because these guys just take anything that re-affirms their biases at face value without any critical thought.

what the hell are you even talking about? nobody is calling for this post to be removed. criticism isn't censorship.

conservative ideology is misogynistic

No, having an account won't give you insight, but what I'm getting at is that most of us are here to get away from the glaring flaws of corporate social media. Obviously I want as many people as possible to join the Fediverse, and I don't see how advocating for or at the very least normalizing more the exact kind of corporate-controlled platforms that drove most of us here is going to help that.

What's with Lemmy users doing free advertising for corporate social media like this? You're already here, so you should know better, right?

Two things that are more American than apple pie. But sure, it's all because of those damn foreigners!
