Does the Fediverse give you hope?
-
Which do you use?
-
Nothing gives me hope these are the darkest times ever
-
Hey drag
Auth Left is still leftist even if they're anti lgbt -
It gives me hope, but hope for a slightly better future; not for a cure for fundamental ills of online communities.

-
Yeah
I mean if this is the best the left has
Trump will never get tired of winning LMAO

The response is to tune-in, turn-on, and drop-out.
Start making things from scratch. Stop buying shit.
Opt-out.

I told you not to bring it up because you said you didn't want to argue about it.
-
It does give me hope, but I also worry it may be a double edged sword and opening pandora’s box. There are way too many ideologies here that aren’t democracy. Given how easy the public was brain washed by Trump, I fear this may be an avenue to expose those people to things that probably shouldn’t even be crossing their minds.

Idk. Dictating what I can or can't say based on your personal beliefs seems an awful lot like an attempt to censor me. I can only speak if I'm willing to argue every single thing? Don't tread on me, bro.

Lol coming from the one who started off with the "ackshually, by definition..." argument

Using the Fediverse feels like a small step in the right direction. Big changes are built on lots of small steps. I would say move in the direction of using the Fediverse more, the old alternatives less, and think of more small steps in the right direction you can do. I don't think just using the Fediverse is enough, but it is an important step to take. Keep going.
Corporations might accidentally help if they try to make their own instancss, like if you sign up with google to join the fediverse, realize most instances block googles because its corporate, then they make an account at non corporate version.
I think the best way for it to grow would be making it easy to self host, yunohost maes it pretty easy, but more managed hosting options competing or more of the big ones offering it would go a long way.

Oh, no. Not at all. All hope is lost, this is just a comfortable place to die.
Based we are all doomed

Voting doesn't work, they control the candidates. Money and power is what people like that want, and they get that in exchange for playing along.
That's why I said vote with your money
-
It gives me hope yeah, alot of my family and coworkers are extremely conservative and it's given me hope that they're not the default for cis people. I've since gotten away from alot of them and met irl friends who're more accepting but the presence of people online who didn't begrudgingly tolerate me before then has given me hope and the courage I would need to advocate for myself and not accept the bare minimum
-

Yeah ok, but... I really don't think the billionaries in charge care if you vote with your little salaried forced job income... I think if you look at the perspective of having millions or billions, people's actions don't matter, like at all.

Unhealthy because there is no feeling of hope? I'm OK with that actually. Life is still alright. But I don't think we actually can change anything important.
Yes, there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes bad people are in charge, sometimes good. And sure, sometimes some very charismatic person is also a good one, and manages to make things a bit better.
But the overall trend is not towards humanity being free of debt slavery, or wars, or greed and power.
