Whether you decide to fight or flee, I won't judge you. Do what makes sense for you and your loved ones. This is a difficult decision. Don't let Lemmy guilt trip you over it.
I have a family and kids that need me. I'll support the resistance where I can, but I can't fight on the front lines. I'm lucky I'm not a target of this administration yet, but if we go out and protest, we may become targets.
In recent years, my family has been getting our passports together and fulfilling requirements to get jobs in another country. If things get violent in my hometown, we can flee across the border. I'll do whatever it takes to keep my family safe.
If I was alone and no one depended on me, I'd disappear into the resistance. Somewhere, there's a cache of vintage World War II weapons that would love to fight Nazis again. But, I'm honestly not the gun nut type.
Just call it "Lemmy".
Call Mbin, Piefed, and Friendica "Lemmy-compatible".
I thought about this for a while. Just tell the masses to try Lemmy. It's the most polished and the easiest to understand.
More techy users who want more can consider other Lemmy-compatible software. There's Mastodon-compatible software like Sharkey and Iceshrimp but we generally associate microblogs with Mastodon. So, generally associate communities with Lemmy.
