Yeah that’s why I made sure to say “majority,” but even that could just be my confirmation bias since the loudest 2A supporters are right wingers; I’ve never looked into how many left leaning people are also gun-owners but yes, I know they exist (and I have been thinking about becoming one of them).

I feel like Kent State is going to be a footnote by comparison.

Unfortunately the majority of its users appear to all be brownshirts in waiting.

Show me a video and pump it directly into my veins.

It was either you or Tildes.

I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!

…that and they’re invite only.

It’s the free market, baby. 😎

Another day, another deep sigh.

My account there is 19 years old and I’m starting to spend more time on Lemmy than I am Reddit.

My forum timeline’s been webcomic/livejournal forums > ytmnd & digg > reddit > lemmy

(Social media’s been Chat clients > MySpace > FB > Instagram > BeReal & Pixelfed)

imo this friction will erode as larger instances come into play; people will join a large, main instance without even knowing of the others, and-- if they have a problem with the instance they joined-- they’ll find they can easily jump ship there.
