You get what you deserve.

I'll breathe a sigh of relief once he's in jail. Before then, he's a criminal walking around with no justice. How many times is he going to get away with the law?

It's the illusion of positive change. The government is basically playing tug-o-war with the people. We have positive change, then the next guy comes and wipes it all away, and we're back to square 1. Look at women's rights, LGBT rights, basic human rights, etc. We thought we were safe yet here we are fighting the same fight as 50+ years ago. We're moving backwards! People can't afford to rent/buy homes, the environment is burning to the ground, food is expensive, education is not only expensive but apparently wrong now too? I mean, how did we get here? We were all tricked into thinking Obama becoming president meant the country was moving away from it's ugly, racial, past. We got lazy. Then Trump gets elected and it all came rushing back x10. Now we're back to making progress again? The ultra rich have the government under their control and we're all just here for their entertainment. We fight against each other for basic scraps when it comes to human decency and for what? We need sustained, positive change that lasts longer than 1-2 presidential elections and we need it now. Trump may be an idiot, but plenty of wanna-be fascists saw his mistakes and will learn from them. The next time we get a Trump 2.0, democracy will die. We cannot afford that to happen, which is why I said we are walking a fine line between democracy and fascism. And until we get actual progressive movements that last, I don't see our government doing us any good.

This country is so fucked. We have a blatant criminal running for president with half the country too stupid or incapable of believing the facts and actually getting his ass in jail, all because he has an R next to his name. Our government is completely deprived of doing anything positive or good for it's people. We're going to spend the next 50 years walking a fine line between fascism and democracy, with all our energy spent on trying to stay on the democracy side, while the citizens of the US suffer the consequences. I hope I'm wrong but with this stupid MAGA cult so high up the chain of the government, it's hard to see a bright future.

Remember how the internet in the late 90's and early 2000's felt so much better? I've heard someone say that's because in order to get online, you needed to be tech-savy and smart because computers and the internet weren't main stream. That's how I feel here. Regular folk won't bother joining (they can stay on FB) or even know about it.

Hideous and tacky. Almost like having a chandelier in the bathroom.

Yes!! This is the #1 feature I'm missing from Apollo.

Lemons! I like lemons

I'm still trying to understand all this. I thought all instances "see" (federate) each other. If they can defederate (block) others from seeing an instance, isn't that going to make discovery a problem? Wouldn't that also mean I need to create a new account just to see that instance?
