That's really interesting. Are the people/entities who own individual servers (or even certain servers) known to the general public? I love the idea of social media not being centralized in the hands of billionaires, but I worry about trusting all of the same information to someone whose identity I don't know at all. Flip a coin, they're probably Russian or Chinese.
Basically I'm just asking about how/why we trust the owners of these servers. I still have a lot to learn about this technology.
You have a lot of catching up to do. Good luck.
Yup. If we don't de-throne establishment leaders in 2026 I'm afraid that this is the way we are going to go. And as a CA I've mostly been alright with Newsom's government, but he is absolutely not the guy for this moment in time in terms of the presidency.
Insert shameless plug for Saikat Chakrabarti, former AOC campaign manager and Chief of Staff who is running against Nancy Pelosi in the 2026 election. For those looking for a way to make a difference, supporting this guy's bid and making him famous is a good, tangible way to do it.
We need more AOCs and fewer Pelosis.
Buttigieg has made it clear that he is not running for office and is looking forward to playing support over the next four years.
I don't think this is even close to possible. She has removed herself from public view for a reason. On a personal level, she's done. If she had any intentions to run for any kind of office, she would have emerged by now as an opposition leader.
Dude, that's just not true. Did you even try to look into her policy positions?
I just started and still don't understand this lemmy. I thought one of the perks was being able to interact on any server despite which one holds your account.
I did, when I voted for Joe Biden, as did the rest of us.
No. The biggest mainstream players in social media are all already aligned with the current administration. Meta et al. would be the ones to be available for free, and alternatives will be paywalled.
Found it, thank you!
Lmao this is cute.
