if they try to run the most focused group tested, middle-of-the-road, oligarch approved, bland candidates. Mamdani and others are showing another path.

We should not care who they try to run, and instead show up in the primaries to dictate to them who we choose.

Because they have whatever the author wants them to.

whatever that book is named that’s about fake S&M and rape fantasies)

yes. but with more interspecies monster sex.

It’s literally rule 34 monster porn, but in print.

It’s called a closed primary and fewer than half the states do it that way. Here in Texas, the primaries are open, but voting in a primary affiliates you to that party for that one calendar year so that only those who voted in the original primary can vote in any run-off elections from the primary.

Great thing about English, every noun can verb.

At this latitude? At this time of year? May I see it?

It adds searchable metadata to a post. Like if you go in Netflix and search for an actor or browse a genre. So I can follow #rugby without having to follow every single person posting about rugby, and I will see all posts that have that tag. Then I can find individual people within that topic to follow and interact with directly.

European Commission has an active account on their own instance

They’re asserting €120M for X is equivalent to 1¢ for us plebes. An ignorable cost of doing business.

2036 Could Be The Year of Linux!

The corruption is already undeniable.

I mean just think of the possibilities here. You can have a klon and a king of tone directly on this guitar! The toanal possibilities are staggering!

If I have a mutual who is on multiple platforms, and I also have accounts on those same multiple platforms, we would generally be following each other mutually on those same platforms.

I can from a number of other Fediverse platforms. I may not be able to follow you on Lemmy like I can follow a community, but I can still find your account to see your posts and comments, and that limitation doesn’t really impact me having to have per-instance accounts versus having a fediverse-wide account. I have probably a dozen fediverse accounts across multiple platforms. I want to have my fediverse identity able to access all fediverse platforms and that other people using that platform can find me as.

They [partially] did, https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/106617110297151132

It’s a terrible idea that they should all try to eventually do all the same everything.

I don’t want them all to do the same thing, but I don’t want to have to have a separate identity on each one and have to redundantly follow people on the multiple platforms.

If I sign up to Instagram I don’t expect to see facebook posts. Most people understand this concept.

Actually posts on one can be available on the other. And you can see Instagram posts on Threads, too.

Similarly, I can follow Pixelfed users from Mastodon and see their posts, and they can follow me back and see my Mastodon posts with photo attachments.

Damn. Five out of seven? That’s like a perfect score!

They were also brainless as Tea Party folks since 2008.
