That's the beauty, I spun up my own and you can too. It allows for data sovereignty and ownership if you own your own node and once critical mass is reached then its game over for established social media oligarchs. SReddit is issuing warnings and likely only time before they kiss the ring for Cheeto Mussolini and ban and dissenting opinions.

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don't want to see him as PM.

Retirement for the environment

That's awesome! Yes each country, region, municipality should have their own instance. I've spun up a Lemmy instance and going to try and make grassroots in roads by going to local businessses and trying to get them to sign up.

Its a chicken and the egg dilemma. Trying to get users is hard, but if there are businesses that interact with local users then there's something more whole some. Not zucc, musky, or the other broligarchs making pennies on each local interaction. Their power needs to be usurped by the people.

Yes it's good on the surface, but echo chambers are near impossible to break. Having everyone on fediverse where there's not perverse incentives to tailor algorithms to keep your engagement could help free some younger minds.

Its still a curated echo chamber and not reflective of the broader society, but its not a broligarch making pennies on each click either. For online social discourse, transparency is key.

Reddit has recently been issue warnings for users that engage (read: upvote) with content construed as inciting violence. Free and open discourse is not tenable on the main platforms (Meta, X, Reddit, etc.) and are being astro-turfed by bots trying to drive wedges in the communities.

There's apparently a French version? I haven't heard it but if its same lyrics then sure add both!
