I would, but Reddit banned me for being a “security risk” after I started security hardened my browser and apparently they prompt you to login when you use a VPN :/

This may finally convince my parents to get rid of their ring camera. Thank you

Sounds like one hell of an ecochamber they’d be creating if Bluesky was that strict about it. Guess we really are just segregating polticial ideologies into different platforms now so everyone can continue to become radicalized into opposite directions until there’s no choice but to fight a Civil War to defeat the fascists.

Oh well, I prefer Mastodon myself. Personally, I only really use Bluesky for following content creators I like. Unfortunately, the chances of someone having a Mastodon account is rare right now (at least in my experience, but I’m still relatively new to the fediverse). I’d rather not be greeted with CSAM whilst doing the same for X anymore. We can at least agree that X should no longer be considered at all.

Personally, I’m preparing to do things to resist in my personal life like preparing to buy firearms and training with them as well as researching how to obtain gender affirming care by illegal means for my sister’s sake.

When it comes to actually defeating the fascists though? Unless we all gather into an organized armed uprising, then all I can do is protest and prepare to defend my loved ones with my life. The best I can do is hide in the shadows waiting for that organized resistance. Once that happens, hopefully I will have practiced with a firearm enough to give my life up to defeat them. If we all fail, then there will be nothing that can stop him considering the entire democratic party are essentially the same thing

From first glance, I feel like this post is taken out of context. It might not be implying that we’ll fight Trump with voting, but rather Trump has no right to cancel the midterms by dragging us into a war over Greenland because we didn’t cancel the election during the Civil War. I could be wrong though, that’s just my impression

So I assume you’d be for banning the White House account on Bluesky as well? They’re controlled by the fascists right now after all. The New York Times has promoted transphobia in the past and they have a verified Bluesky account. Should they be banned too?

Thus why I mentioned that they must follow the ToS. If they actually did start to post discriminatory content or hate speech on Bluesky, then they should by all means become banned like everyone else would since that would be breaking ToS. Those “gotta catch em all” posts on Twitter is not going to be tolerated by Bluesky…at least I hope. If not, then I suppose you’re right, Mastodon is the only place that won’t platform fascist propaganda…at least not on the main instance

Normally I’d agree, but ICE is a government organization and since people get their news on social media these days, it makes sense that ICE doesn’t get banned as long as they follow ToS.

Does a verification equate to an endorsement now? I’m strongly against ICE, but as long as ICE exists, then it makes sense to verify their official account. That’s all verification is to me at least, just something to let you know it’s the real _ account rather than an imposter.

Kidnapping is a strong word. Perhaps “strategically relocated” would suffice?

Mullvad VPN and Proton Mail Plus (mainly just to use my Proton account on Thunderbird)

I’m actually surprised that the PS5 is right behind Xbox 360 and PS3

Why would I trust the big corporations that has been actively helping the Trump Administration? Call me paranoid, but I think there’s going to be a big crackdown at silicon valley soon

You can also disable ai via toggling browser.ml.enable to false on about:config. For now at least…

Guess we need to use capitalism to destroy capitalism like that jREG skit

I have it working on Ubuntu 25.10 and it worked out of the box for me. So I’m not sure if they added the drivers for experimental releases of Ubuntu or I had them unknowingly installed somehow. Therefore, no idea what to tell you other than try Ubuntu 25.10?

I mean tbf, this is more personal rather than political but, if this comment section is any identification I doubt I should be the person who does organize a resistance. This is me with time to think about my replies too, imagine me with a real time debate with someone. I have a group of friends and a family with similar opinions to mine, but would that truly be enough to resist fascism or would we all be broken or annihilated with no impact at all?

So, what do you suggest I do then as an alternative to voting in this scenario? I suppose I could spill the blood of the politicians that want to build concentration camps, but once again unless I change the minds of millions of people and start a full blown civil war, then the bloodshed will be pointless. I could also move away from America, but that’s assuming I could even afford to do that let alone be able to do it legally. The only power I have as an American citizen as of now is to vote. That’s the only power I have. Protesting will eventually just get me arrested or murdered once Trump completes his power grab.

I mean, I believe nixus was talking about voting third party, which here in America is just another way of abstaining to vote. The concentration camp example was just to point out that to say one bad candidate against an objectively worse candidate doesn’t automatically mean they’re both equally as bad. I regret using concentration camps as an example though. Perhaps a better example would be if you had the choice of voting for either Benito Mussolini or Bill Clinton. Both candidates are bad, but if I vote for one of them, am I in the wrong to make sure Mussolini doesn’t win by voting for Bill Clinton?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the senate controlled by the right? Wasn’t it them that pushed for mass deportations?

I suppose you do have a point though, Harris wouldn’t need to be the only one who wins to make an actual difference, even if she would have just upheld the status quo that led to the rise in fascism. Still would have preferred that over what Trump is doing atm
