Tabloid magazine? … it’s more like scribbled pieces of paper written by random strangers on the sidewalk … people keep reading the crap and walk away happy that their worst beliefs have just been confirmed by 100 random strangers with scribbled pieces of paper who told them so.

Enshitification? … at this point it’s all dissolving into that putrid liquid dumpster juice.

No … if people want to watch it live go ahead … if not they can read the news story.

I just thought it was a significant world news story of a fairly good person who was able to have some international influence and use it for good causes … a type of individual that we are sorely lacking in the world these days.

Thanks for that … like I mentioned to friends and associates in public and online … I thought it was just important to highlight the event as he was US President, and also most long lived US President at 100 years of age … and the fact that after his retirement, he did so much international aide organization work, either to support or to just lend his name and personality to it.

It’s becoming a rare thing to see a world leader honestly, publicly and through their own actions actually join in and take part in grass roots organizations and even get down and dirty to the point of working at an actual construction site, not just for a single photo op but on a regular basis whether cameras were rolling or not.

Most carpenters I’ve ever known were more boobs men

Fascism is on the match. The problem is not that they are on the move. The problem is that many of us just join the march but caring about what we are doing … or not doing.

And no I’m not calling for revolution… I’m just calling out everyone that participates in corporate social media and wonder why they are encouraging the spreading of lies and propaganda

I agree but the problem is that there is a huge percentage of the population that use this dumb site as a way to collect and gather all their information about the world. The problem is not so much that fb changed, the problem is that so many people rely on it.

It had everything to do with human greed.

As long as there is the suggestion or possibility, no matter how remote that anyone of us can become enormously wealthy, we won’t want to change the system.

By age alone, he’s already acquired 10% of the vote in whatever election he joins … get him to commit a felony and he’ll gain another 5% … some sort of sexual misconduct 5% … say he’s Christian (even if he’s not) another 5%

Or just don’t vote and move along

Exactly, and it probably took several instances of this happening going back to 1950 before they finally decided to make that warning label.

And painted the whole room with a pretty green colored lead paint.

Kilroy also has some hairy eyelids

It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It’s made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I’m also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.

Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There’s no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.

I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.

Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I’ll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
