  • Add a bell button and a whistle button.

    I think instead of promoting a page where people have to choose a server, just send people to lemmy.world directly. We should probably just get people to sign up there at first and have the ability to migrate their accounts to other servers if they want to do that later.

    Having to choose from multiple servers is asking people to choose between a bunch of options they know nothing about. Get people straight to looking at content and posting stuff as soon as possible, once they’re more invested, and understand more about the different instances they can change servers if that’s what they want to do.

    But yeah writhing the code needed to make account migration seamless might be a lot of work so not sure if that will happen.



  • A Boeing whistleblower the day before he finally got his big day in court (something he worked towards for years) “committed suicide” in his car the day before he was going to testify.

    Forget the Epstein conspiracy shit, guys going to prison for sex stuff involving minors kill themselves all the time since they know they’re going to have a bad time in prison. An engineer trying to expose his former employer for their unsafe practices the day before he’s going to finally get what he wanted? Wayyyyyy more suspicious than the Epstein stuff.

    There was another Boeing whistleblower that also “committed suicide”.

    But sure, maybe it’s all a weird coincidence that everyone that tries to blow the whistle on Boeing turns up dead before they can testify.


  • You need to start understanding that the US is not the defender of democracy anymore. When people talk of protecting democracy, no one is thinking of getting from the US because you’re the ones we’re trying to defend against. With each passing day your country is becoming the enemy of democracy.

    I know this may be difficult to accept, but the US may become the great villains of the 21st century just as the Nazis were the villains of the 20th. We all hope that that won’t happen, but we see the signs and we have to be prepared to defend democracy from US aggression.






  • uncovered a total of four cases where veterans were allegedly offered MAID — all apparently by the same caseworker.

    You’re judging an entire country for the actions of one person, when the people in that country had the same reaction as you, and investigated it and dealt with it?

    The other story you’re citing is from a conservative US owned newspaper. And what’s wrong with celebrating pride? Also education is under the jurisdiction of the Provincial governments which are democratically elected. So you can see the bias there where the actions of democratically elected government are characterized as being somehow nefarious… for doing their jobs. Also note the part where “sources” say Muslims are taking their children out of school. Just Americans trying stir up shit and create division in Canada for profit. That’s Postmedia for you.

    Politics is at least 90% tribal. Most people vote for who their parents voted for. Those that don’t, vote the way their peers vote. Ideology is just a post-facto rationalization to convince people they’re right for sticking with their respective tribes.

    Lies and hypocrisy aren’t a bug, it’s a feature. By showing a willingness to lie and be hypocritical it’s proving one’s loyalty to the tribe. Mocking those that point out the hypocrisy further proves loyalty to the tribe.
