I agree with the petition, but I wish it had mentioned that Twitter hides most, if not all, of an account's tweets behind a login wall. Same for Instagram for that matter. That's a strong reason not to use it for government communication.

Thanks for the non-AMP link. Though my understanding is that the past concerns about AMP have been resolved now that it has moved to an open-source project under the OpenJS Foundation. Is there still reason to avoid AMP?
I just lean towards it being a scam. I did some searching as well and couldn't identify the organization behind "Voter Research Services". If it was legitimate, they'd make that information readily available on some website. I think text message scammers consider it valuable information to find out if there is actually a person behind a phone number, so if they are scammers, even your first reply validated your number as a target for future unrelated scams.
I like this take. When I read some of Dan's concerning posts, I see someone who is really not used to working with others, not someone who is actively malicious
Oof, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the link. The sub-linked open letter about his behaviour towards others is particularly concerning: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/#behaviour
I'm still a bit torn, because I think Pixelfed (the software) is still worth supporting, but we can let more of the community decide. Ultimately the Lemmy.ca/Fedecan representative would have to decide anyway.
Looks like Ryan is applying to be a registered charity. The gofundme should qualify for tax receipts after that.
I'm not aware of Canadian instances. /u/otter mentioned recently that Fedecan may setup a Pixelfed instance next: https://lemmy.ca/post/25251642/13926523
Thanks for staying on top of it. Glad to hear you're moving to a better situation!
Hey, have you actually read the article? I'd also highly suggest you watch the two videos included as well.
DM me. I can transfer some money to keep you afloat for a few days.
Edit: I've transferred some money to flyweather. Should help with food at the very least, but they're still looking for work.
Are you talking about more dependencies from a developer's point of view? I get that to a degree, but from a user's point of view, isn't AMP technically better, especially now that it's open source?
