Jfc, I don't understand why some people think Trump's the "tough against China" pick. He's just one bad headline away from cartoonists drawing him sucking off Xi.
Idk, his villains are just a bunch of arms dealers with special bullets that actually hurt him called "judas bullets". He's not even stronger than Iron Fist.
I set up a 24/7 Zombie Survival Factorio Server and shared all the files and mods on my discord so everybody could play without needing authentication or worrying about version mismatch, but I'm starting to think nobody is going to play it with me.
I'll have to get out my trusty nail pulling battery pliers.
The main lemmy developers host Lemmy.ml who are a bunch of Tankies advocating for Russian invasion of Ukraine, among many other horrible atrocities. Here is a helpful documentation of their problematic behavior: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279
Now, other instances which use Lemmy as a framework to build on are perfectly fine, for now, but it's still bad to use a platform which garners support and funding from people for extremists and authoritarians. Which is why many people are making the move over to Piefed which is developed by different people than Lemmy.
I would recommend Piefed.social or Piefed.world to normal people, explain it's a big message board where thousands of people post stuff to communities for specific interest an those posts show up in the feed on the main page sorted by how many people liked it.
It's good for following news, protests, learning about things you didn't know about, or finding community with likeminded individuals. E.G. there are popular communities for Linux, LGBT, Trains, Food, etc.
I would not recommend Lemmy in particular, because...
Well...
It's a fuckin psyop.
If the other person knows about Reddit and wonders why they would use the Fediverse instead you have to give them the big technical spiel about how Reddit has a singular owning entity which sold out to stock brokers and investors which made the platform worse with ads and bots, but the Fediverse is just a network of independent servers which communicate in the same format so nobody owns all of it and it cannot be bought or sold.
You seem to be afraid that he will try to convince you. Don't be afraid. Just tell him what it is you want and be adamant, stern even, if you don't want to give him any chances.
A lot of people I know just skip breakfast, but I personally eat whatever food with no regard for social acceptance. Sometimes it's a fruit and grain bar and a protein shake, sometimes eggs and bacon, sometimes it's vegan stir fry noodles with some soy sauce, idgaf
Pics or it didn't happen?
