It has some advantages but I think it will make public services even more subordinated to the interests of the wealthy. Since they would have almost sole discretion on where that money goes.

I’ve never seen real evidence of bots impersonating people here but it’s hard to know. Maybe admins would have more insights.

There are a few ad bots that sneak in but they usually get a ban pretty quickly.

Sounds like something a bot would say!

I was worried about this with CECOT but I think most everyone ended up being released from there? Does anyone know if other American deportees are still being held there?

Unfortunately, I’ve seen very little reporting on other foreign prison camps, so I don’t know what the conditions there are like and who is being held vs released etc. I know some prisoners were released by Costa Rica and allowed to claim asylum there but I believe others are still being held.

Someone in the media really needs to dig into this more. Or if anyone has seen such reporting, please link it.

The obvious solution here is to include frozen gametes in the ship’s cargo to increase the diversity of the population. It would be culturally easiest with frozen sperm but if necessary you could include eggs as well, provided people are willing to be surrogate mothers.

I feel like most anarchists identify as socialists, so I’m not sure about that one.

What would be an example of a non-socialist but leftist school of thought?

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don’t like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I’m driving, I’ll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.

Tragic, hilarious, somewhat disturbing all in one.

I agree. This person is a conservative. The other “conservatives” are just fascists who inherited the label and it no longer fits.

I’m not sure I see the distinction you’re making here. Usually those groups are highly overlapping.

No I’m saying the logic and propaganda of corporate social media seems to work on them, despite it being in obvious contrast to their ideals.

Thanks. Yeah .world is definitely a bit too big, but it’s still miles better than bluesky.

Anyone have the numbers for Lemmy specifically?

I feel like this speaks to an unchallenged myth in our society. That corporate organizations and government organizations are somehow completely categorically different from one another such that they exist in totally separate spheres of reality. But they’re both political groups of people, exercising power over the peasants. It’s not as different as people think. And they often have similar goals and use similar strategies, like propaganda, to achieve them.

Does it? None of my normie progressive friends are on the fediverse.

What makes it impractical? The model’s been working here for years.

I haven’t heard anyone demand .ml shut down. I think people want A: allow for separate funding of Lemmy development and the server so people can avoid contributing to the server if they wish. And B: stop running the server as your personal fiefdom where any dissenting opinion or inconvenience facts result in an immediate ban.

What should be and what is are two different things. I’m just saying that in the US at least, much of the carceral state is privatized.

Are you sure it’s publicly owned?

So most of these are on the front range (which is ass) but it’s interesting that it goes to grand junction. Any stops along the way?
