Okay, if The Donald is welcome here, and people are just coping by blocking, how about r/watchpeopledie?
Personally I detest Drumph and his Nascar possum farmer fans, but I loved seeing people eaten by escalators. If Lemmy's cool with the one, I'm recreating the other. I mean why not.
I'd happily live without the joy of gore, if it meant that flat earthers and conspiracy theorists weren't welcome either. But if the one is fine, then the other should be too.
From medicaid.gov "93,373,794 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP in the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported enrollment data for February 2023."
I realize this is advice not everyone can use, but I keep throwing it out there just in case someone can. If you're in the US and struggling, but able to move states, Ohio practically saved my life. Expanded Medicaid paid all of my doctor's bills until I got SSI, and now the MPAP program pays my partner's Medicare fees. PIPP keeps the electricity and gas at 6% of our income each. Property is affordable in a lot of areas because it's economically depressed, and jobs are scarce. We used the covid stimulus as a down payment on an FHA mortgage on a legitimately decent 5 bed 3 bath house, for $345 a month.
@mrbadger42 The one is an ongoing story, with a still unknown outcome. It's has suspense, people are on the proverbial edge of their seats, wondering whether they're dead, and how they died.
The other is a tragedy that is past tense. It's obvious what happened. The story, or at least that chapter of it, is done.
If there were a boat full of migrants bobbing around the ocean, somehow unable to get to safety, with an element of suspense as to whether they'd make it; I think people would be paying attention.
A ton of moderators have been making changes to their subreddits' rules (e.g., only allowing certain posts, going NSFW, loosening rules a ton) to protest without getting kicked out. Do you think this strategy of turning a subreddit into shitposts is effective or not?...
If the goal was to create more work for Reddit's paid employees, annoy Spez, draw more attention to the whole debacle, and motivate more people to try other platforms, then it's been a success.
Personally I find it entertaining, the way any disaster is entertaining from afar.
Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.
I wonder if, in the very distant future, people will be able to grow their own meat at home from a small sample. And if so, whether anyone will try making burgers from themselves, when they get a cut or a scrape.
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
I kept seeing people on Reddit saying that Lemmy was full of supporters of Russia and China. So I tested that by insulting thier respective leaders. Some dude with 'Stalin' in his name cussed at me. I've got more downvotes than upvotes, while the reverse is true for the other guy.
I reported him just to see what would happen, and thus far nothing.
Does anyone else have multiple accounts while looking for new reddit alts? So far I've got accounts on Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles and I've been lurking on Raddle, Sqwok, and Tildes from the outside....
r/The_Donald now on Lemmy (edit: not anymore)
It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies....

What do you think of subreddits protesting with rule changes (e.g., only allowing John Oliver)?

I'm curious - Do you folks like weight on your body (people, animals, weighted blankets on top of you)
Since lemmy doesn't seem to have polling upvote corresponding comments
