Peaceful protest your way out of this one. I’m not lifting a finger until assurances of consequences for the administration, their enablers, and their supporters are guaranteed.

So lately it’s gotten to where trying to load my “Subscribed” feed on Midwest.social results in an error with nothing loading, so I was curious if there is any way to tell if the issue is client or server side? I subscribe to about 70 communities, roughly half of which are local and the remaining being federated. I did go through each one individually the other day and they all loaded, so was thinking it could also be the sheer volume of feeds trying to load.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions, and keep up the great work on the app!

…when are we moving on to the next step?

So I think we’d all agree that if people were being herded onto boxcars and delivered to incinerators that would clearly be a time for violence. Not happening right now (that we know of), but our homegrown Führer may change his whim at any moment. My question is “What is the line that makes violent protest acceptable?” The first time a cop shoots a protestor? Military does it? Does the shot need to be fatal? Life altering (think paralyzing)? And if so, why does it have to at a point where it’s SO MUCH HARDER to come back from, as opposed to now? Which wouldn’t be easy, mind you, but their positions aren’t fully fortified yet, so better than 6 months, a year from now. Especially when we can all see where it’s going, to the point of inevitability. And before I get called out on that, any criticism needs to include exactly how the critic sees this de-escalating in any other manner.

Hoping for some thought provoking discussion here, because let’s face it - Republican actions are making things go downhill fast.

To those who squeeze single use water bottles (think Aquafina, Dasani, Sam’s Choice, etc.) - WHY? Is gravity not fast enough for you? Do you enjoy the crinkly noise? Why squeeze when it’s literally falling out of the bottle?

Fun fact: the big fucked up bill eliminates the ability of Federal Courts to enforce injections if a bond has not been issued. Easy way for our fledgling dictatorship to keep doing all of the illegal things they’re doing, but “legally”.

Time to start getting ready to take corrective action - people are waking up. I hope.

Yeah, it shut down the FUCKING WORLD but let’s go ahead and scale it back. Probably the fault of whatever jackass was in office when they weee developed; anyone happen to recall who that was?

So I have another lemmy app that I keep around for only one feature - hoping it can be considered here. When I long press the account selector (bottom middle), not only does it list my accounts but it also queries the servers and returns 1. Response time in ms and (more importantly) 2. Number of unread messages/replies/you get the drift. I will literally hop on that, see where I have unread, then pop back over here to read them.

Thanks for listening, and would be awesome if you could add something like that.

Now that I’ve written that, he might actually get away with it. It would be a refreshing level of government transparency.

I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.
