You'll be happy with the new version then because it supports in app community links.
Yeah I know some instances have found and purged a lot of bot accounts, so that's encouraging! Obviously active users will always be a better metric.
I will say I've enjoyed my time in the local subs here for sure!
This is the right move I think.
Lol holy shit. Just escape poverty 4head!

You shouldn't even need to frame it from a 'leftist' perspective. Just look at America's own revolution. Up until the declaration of Independence the colonists used nonviolent means, such as petitions, to protest the abuse of the monarchy. Each attempt to request peaceful negotiations was met by more neglect and more abuse. The monarchy refused peaceful transition and opted to be more aggressive and oppressive to the colonists. Once they declared independence, the monarchy needed to put down this insurrection through violence and coercion. History shows us that they were unsuccessful.
America's own History shows us that when revolutionaries are denied, via peaceful means, the right of succession, the choice is either submit or be defiant. That defiance needs to be snuffed out, and the state has all the tools they need to do that.
I'm sure an analysis of revolutions, successful or otherwise, throughout history would show you that the state had no interest in a peaceful transition. Because the state has everything to lose and nothing to gain.
It's almost like all of recorded history is defined by struggle between oppressor and the oppressed. Those tend not to be diplomatic relationships.
But maybe I'm talking out my ass, so let me know if I am.
And they were forced to give it to their kids first giving the parents nothing to live for.
Lol wait this was the image that was removed?? That's wild.
What are you on? So instances should have no say in regards to who they federate with? Also it sounds like you're advocating for centralization... Why would we want that?
