I actually think conceptually "Pebble" is a great name for a social media site if you lean into the "drop a pebble in a pond and it ripples outward = even the smallest person can reach a large group of people with their message."

At least it MEANS something, unlike whatever "X" is supposed to represent (a name so bad, it's STILL usually followed by "formerly Twitter" whenever it's mentioned by anyone)

I think it's only a matter of time before he gets his kids together, tells them they have to protect the family, and try to throw Kushner under a bus.

Then we see where Ivanka falls. Does she say too bad hubby, or does she flip on pop.

Wait until we see the video of that bear's parents dragging him back there by the ear to Apologize to the shopkeeper.

BELIEVING someone is an idiot for believing in a sky daddy and not respecting their belief is NOT bigotry.

ACTING to curtail or limit those people's rights BECAUSE of it IS bigotry.

There's a difference.

I have no interest in keeping people from believing whatever they want. But I'm under no obligation to respect those beliefs.

Religious freedom isn't the right to avoid criticism.

And Lemmy is almost entirely memes once you leave your subscriptions and venture into the "all" category.

The rest is a combination of politics and bitching about Reddit.

I think "The Establishment" is less of a thing and more of a concept.

It's a catch-all term for the status quo. How things are and have been for a very long time. When you're fighting to change things, you're fighting "The Establishment", the traditional order of things. Whether that's corporate greed or political corruption or unfair labour practices, etc... etc...

incorrect.

It only becomes an algorithm when it's using some "data" to help automatically determine a sort procedure, or decide what you see or don't see. Until then, it's just a filter.

For example; sorting by date...not an algorithm. tracking your views to automatically determine what you would likely want to see at the top of your list...algorithm.

Hear me out here, guys... Have we tried not honouring nazis?

A sorting option isn't an algorithm...

And yet an onscreen keyboard for linux apps is still "on the roadmap"...
