@phdepressed also remember hilary won in '16. The only time Republican nominee won since '89 was W in '04.

@MajorHavoc
I don't understand how we came to decide splitting representation up by geographic region was the only way to do it. There are so many other ways, religion, industry, age, sex, gender, ideology etc.

I particularly think it makes no sense to have a bicameral legislature with the only difference between them is the size of the geographic region like we have in Madison.

@weirdly_austin take your up-vote and get out of here.

@Shizu word brother, word.

@ChocoboRocket there's certainly advantages to free and federated ferated networks. its literally impossible for such actors to ruin the 'verse. There only choice is attempt to make it irrelevant, like Google did with XMPP. I guesd that's one reason went so many fedizens are weary of Facebook's THREADS coming here.

@EmpathicVagrant @gkd remember when the iPhone first came out, and the BlackBerry fan boys where complaining there were no third-party apps, and Apple said that if you have a good web browser you don't need additional apps? Petridge farm remembers.

@cryptpad @0x4E4F @Dirk it was still the first one I found when doing an internet search, even before cyrtpad.fr, and their collective hosts a tone of good services free of charge with open registration, but I'll try to contact the admins and see what they can do. But I don't speak Italian.

@0x4E4F what you call "begging for an account" I call actually having a human connection putting the social back in social media.

@SDF theres.life is a Christian instance. We try to be welcoming of all, but we do have some rules, like #NoSwearing especially use of the Lord's name in vain. As it says on my profile I am "A grateful believer in Jesus Christ in recovery from lust, still trying to figure out where I best fit in the fediverse." I'm looking to find replacements for subs /r/radicalChristianity /r/cricket /r/mls /r/squaredcircle & /r/catholicism.

@SDF hello from #Glitch (a mastodon fork)

@Kichae hmmm... https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] doesn't work just by typing it, but when I logged into my kbin.social account and searched for @unitedkingdom_channel the magazine then existed.

@sibachian and that's better. You can easily tell, 100 is too hot to play outside, and 0 is too cold to play outside and everything else is fine.

@MentalEdge K, it does on other 'verse platforms like #Friendica & #GNU Social.

@0x4E4F @Dirk remember all content requires storage to host it, and high-quality video is particularly expensive for that. peertube.uno is brought to us by the folks at https://devol.it which offers a ton of these kind of services free of charge with open registration, and I'm not really sure how they afford to. (Though I might have a better idea if I actually spoke Italian.) I first found them searching for an alternative to Google Docs and found https://cryptpad.devol.it and learned #Cryptpad is even better than GoogleDocs without the surveillance capitalism.

@0x4E4F @Dirk that's a feature not a bug, unless they are single user or family only instances, they usually will let you open an account if you contact the admin directly. But some others do allow open registration, like the one I have an account on, that I've never really used, https://peertube.uno

@aproposnix @sisyphean in my experience genxers are just boomers who SHOULD know better.

@Kichae @0x4E4F @Dirk you can from kbin, but I've never seen Lemmy following of individual users really work.
