  • Similar thing happened in my country, Hungary. We have a de facto one party system, where outsiders are allowed to have an opinion, nothing much else. Sometimes they have suspiciously too many ties to Fidesz, like Munkáspárt 2006 and Mi Hazánk Mozgalom. Corporations not being subservient to Fidesz are being harassed by law enforcement, the tax agency, and the media agency, only a few left as a way to show not everyone is with Fidesz, but often at the cost of them not getting any subsidies, etc. Meanwhile, Fidesz has clever ways to subvert even its own laws. They limit campaign spendings, but have at least 2 GONGOs pumping out ads for them.

    Good luck, maybe the RNC won’t forbid anyone left of Mussolini from owning guns, or maybe you can just wait until the US implodes and Canada will run to your help instead of Russia and/or China.


















  • I also left it for the most part (only there to squat my user handle - I have some enemies), and I’m better without it. Even before the Muskrat overtake, its algorithm often bought the worst out of me, and I had to realize that wasn’t me. After that, it became worse than the forums from the late 2000’s that were overtaken by a few moderators to turn them into “free speech zone”, except they liked to harass people for having “dumb opinions”, one of which was not liking racism, and those admins also liked to claim PoC robbing whites are a “race motivated crime”.

    I like the smaller communities of the Fediverse, I even started to remember usernames and avatars here on lemmy (and before that, kbin) without having a follow function I know of. When I was on Reddit, I felt massively alienated, didn’t know anyone there really, and the place got more and more dominated by a select few toxic individuals.
