Pixelfed is really easy to engage with and get a feed started. I think that's let to its popularity growth. I've added mastedon and peertube and neither has made it as easy to onboard.
I still remember the curve with Lemmy. Pixelfed is clearly the easiest to get started with, and then it's just pictures!
Oh my gosh, I accidentally stepped on a landmine, didn't I? I'm not a "fren" in that sense, just trying to diffuse tension with a silly word. I had no idea that meaning existed.
For the record, I once accidentally used triple parenthesis for emphasis, not knowing it was an antisemitic symbol.
So I have a track record of accidentally presenting myself negatively. Just unlucky I guess.
I found this interesting article. I think I'd feel the same as you do, but I would try to get to know his boyfriend. It's not approval, you've already made that point, but it's acceptance of your son as a person you trust to make his own decisions (even if you still have doubts about that!).
You can't change the situation by staying away or "protesting", you will only be undermining your relationship with your son. And that's too valuable to lose just to make a point.
You understand that if they didn't care enough to vote, their votes wouldn't have necessarily gone to Kamala? You get that right?
I'm so sick of blaming people who stayed home. They have that right. StFU. They didn't have an obligation to save you, and if they had all voted, they might have voted 50/50.
Please don't mention Bernie anymore. They postponed him and now he's just too old, we need to stop with the old people. AOC is a great choice, and there needs to be full backing on that because the old corporate guard has some loser in mind, I assume.
They're talking about a NATIONAL HOLIDAY like it was a special emphasis program, and then they say the national holiday won't be affected?
I used to put pictures and quotes from MLK on my screensaver on the holiday when I was at work. Would that be banned now?
On Martin Luther King Day. Absurdity.
