I don’t think we should keep treating this as meme. Things are just getting worse and fast for everyone, talking as a non american. I used to watch the late night shows on trump and laugh at the jokes but now it just makes my stomach turn. Especially now with the (surprising) opening and sidingwith russia, on top of eveything that has happened the last few weeks that involves the whole world either because he really means it or just to overwhelm the media and the public as he and his “advisors” do their thing behind the curtain, I feel this is not a joke anymore.

Oh, so that’s why I saw some post about reddit alternatives and the person replying had to mask lemmy. Oh wow.

Yep, hi, here am I. Usually I think news like these are fearmongering for clickbait, like those old “Facebook is going to be paiiidd!” (As if “being free” wasn’t at the very core of its appeal and selling point) but reading the room this day and age I don’t think I’d be that surprise if a change like that did happen to Reddit. The only good think about this shitstorm of an age is that it made me find the fediverse and I will never forgive myself for not caring enough to find it earlier.
