Just like trump that don't care about the base voters, they're just a way to get into power and give money to their rich sponsors

The problem with jokes like this is that it gives them ideas, also see how warning dystopian science fiction novels are being used as instruction manuals

I wish there would be some consequences now or in the future, but over there is Blair to say that's not gonna happen, maddening

I haven't when I was there, but I was on a smaller instance and most people start in the big ones which are overwhelming and as all large social media places have problems with moderation. I never stay anywhere that long as I get burnt out by it all, so squirrelly run off lol

It is indeed great, obviously people use it to hide fuckups but I'm not keen on the gotcha culture anyway, hasn't seemed to have helped any of us in the end

I have no view on the protocol, no doubt pros and cons and no doubt like everything else it's how the "owners" or guardians behave with it, after all the internet protocol and web protocols are ok for what they are it's the tech bros et al who are fucking it all

Oh yeah for sure there's a fair amount of similar anti bluesky there, but to be fair that's rooted in fear of the sort of thing that's just happened here in the last week's, but yeah not a good recruit, there's a percentage there who like it's isolation for reasons ...

By edit I mean you can edit your posts afterwards which at the very least is useful for typos etc

That's the same as leaving anywhere isn't it? But in any case there are now a number of migration tools and Inc from backups? Not trying to persuade just genuinely interested and also this place may go bang like twitter it being in a fascist state now?

Labour and it's supporters are just fixated on chasing farage, meanwhile their original base is leaving them in droves probably permanently, you can only conclude that they want to become the old Tory party

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????

Any thoughts on why labour are putting the most hated doctor in the country in charge of a mental health review, because it seems strange to many and just by coincidence today the proof that ME isn't in the mind

Really quite odd the anti mastadon vibe going round here at the moment

You know they're influenced by their eugenics mates, when they force many people of benefits it'll lead to an increase in deaths, which is what they want to reduce costs
