So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

    Nah, America really spread a lot of information throughout the world on these things. So much even that people got sick of it.

    America is all about branding, sure they might not structurally provide a good system for these people, but they do grant them a good brand to use.

    The public opinion of these people have mooned quite a bit.

      If your own child was on the LGBT+ spectrum and was right now in the US, your take would have been way different.

              Meaning, I don’t push gays off a building.

              Well, yeah. You have to deny them representation first. You have to build to pushing them off of buildings.

                Invite all of IS in your country, they’ll show you that those things really aren’t necessary. You just need people wanting to do it.

                    Not to mention it’s going to be common knowledge in 20 years from now that IS was designed by you know who to fuel Islamophobia.

                    Because I find it amusing that you’re talking about a pro LGBTQ country as if they are IS.

                    Maybe you should be the one talking about IS if you care about LGBTQ

                    In Europe we have lots of refugees that are LGBTQ because they’d be suffering great consequences in their home country. Those people aren’t from the US.
