I think next year around the US presidential election, if we are still federated, is going to be wild. We are going to have a lot of folks around the fediverse screaming about how we need to
worst possible reality: reddit explodes like a month before the elections, completely nonfunctional, URL stops working.
a solid 200,000 redditors swarm onto Lemmy, with many ending up on instances we are federated to. the next month is spent in a constant state of battle over voting. if Trump wins then it's like, at least the next 3 months, with low-lying anger for the remaining 4 years.
It's not a real struggle session unless its an internal disagreement between Hexbears, if it's us vs the libs that's just sparkling disagreement.
met a lib IRL who had a giant 'I Voted, so should you!' badge on their backpack
next to a captain america badge, liberalism is the goddamn same everywhere
