It could be their goal is not to be folks primary casual browsing instance, so just being someone that is stopping in to hang out isn't quite what they are looking for.

Again, the democratic primary voter is not a representation of the entire countries values, and those that hated Obama, and hated Hillary, are more likely to vote for someone that is willing to criticize the system than long standing democratic insiders.

Ultimately at this point I don't care to constantly speculate on possible differences in past elections. My point was to hopefully convey that the idea of political views of the people in America as a left-right slider is flawed, and the current selection process biases towards mild candidates that fundamentally are not effective enough in solving the problems we are facing.

I'm sure plenty would vote against him for being a socialist, but I also think a good number would agree with his criticism of greedy billionaires ripping off sick people, or huge companies paying less in taxes than they do. I don't think everyone that voted for Trump was an absolute right wing nut, I think a good number of them think 'both parties are bullshit and at least Trump is outside the system'.

Yeah I don't fully understand either. I think the point that folks were making was about port forwarding allowing for much better speeds? I don't have Mullvad, but I know with my vpn my speeds are crippled when torrenting on it, so maybe others have similar issues with Mullvad without port forwarding.

I don't think it's correct to assume politics is a sliding scale from left to right, and failing to appeal to democratic primary voters is a certainty of failure in a general election. I would paint democratic primary voters as very in favor of the institutions and systems of this country, and I don't think republican votes are fans of either.

I remember drama because mullvad blocked port forwarding and it messed up a lot of folks torrenting. Does anyone know if Mozilla allow port forwarding?

Googling a little, I might be misremembering limitations from a long time ago or from older IRC versions or something. Does it have async multi user rooms, reactions, and is it federated so I can stick to one log in? Not trying to be adversarial at all, these are just what I would miss if I didn't use matrix and I haven't really looked at xmpp since AIM days lol.

Why xmpp over matrix? Seems generally like older tech that doesn't have modern chat features.

I don't even know if I disagree with "big platforms" using activitypub. Like Tumblr integration could be cool, but fucking facebook? Eww

The best way to experience 4chan is to leave it forever and live a better life.
