no one is disenfranchising dem voters at all

I have no idea if you are a shill or a genuine person. But, there are some behaviors that are bad things to do regardless of which you are:

Recasting your opponents’ views as other ones that make less sense and are easier to argue against, consistently, as a way of muddling the discourse, instead of being honest about what you’re saying and what you are disagreeing with and why, and just letting your point of view speak for itself whether or not I personally would agree with it

oh my fuck. this is gold. screenshot, archive.org, federate. put it on a tshirt. use it as a new isntance url.

These are the only two proven methods to work. Third parties, Independents do not work until the system changes

the prohibition party got a constitutional amendment passed.

oh shit. super bad guy. glad i never installed a fucking client. fuck everything about this.

i don't trust it because it is very big on the design meaning to be "censorship resistant" and there are certain kinds of posts that people make that probably should be censored, and while i like that some tools exist to make pseudononymous, censorship-resistant communications possible (tor and i2p are good. freenet is fine imho), this one looks like a grift that has a neon sign saying "censorship resistant".... and i am sure that associating with those people will lead to encountering some of that material that probably should be censored.

peertube uses webtorrents. it's viable. it works. owncast is fully self-hosted. it works. all the people downvoting are repeating a talking point, and have never implemented these projects.

There’s a good reason Lemmy doesn’t have videos.

peertube exists. it's activitypub. lemmy is the reddit-like interface to activitypub. but the fediverse definitely has video. it even has live streaming through OwnCast (though i think peertube has livestreaming scheduled to be implemented as well)

edit: hey i just found a movie station!

oh, i think pulling the lever makes you a murderer. but that's the point of the trolley problem: it's not that there is a right answer, its that your answer will help you understand your own morality.

No, that’s reality.

stating your perspective about it doesn't make it reality. you need to actually listen to what people say, and if you think it's unrealistic, then you can say you think it's unrealistic, but you can't just assert that they can't possibly have any other motivations.

They either believe Jill Stein will actually win ... Or... they have looked at the difference and decided that it isn’t much

this is still putting words in their mouths. it's not good-faith engagement.

most of the things i want to send around my network in archives are already compressed binary files, so i just tar everything.

I really wanted to like the ms launcher. very customizable, and frankly it is kind of awesome. but I didn't stick with it. I was using oneui for years when I started shopping for launchers, and I landed on kiss.
