As a kid reading this, I originally thought it was hyperbole.

This list was likely created by the secretive multi-millionaire Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation Inc, located at

590 NW 3rd St

Mulberry, FL 33860 USA

They’ve mostly stayed out of the news by training officially “unaffiliated” conservative ministers to carry out their dirty work, attempting to appear as a grassroots movement.

Hi, Mod here.

One of our community rules is to “be nice and have fun.” It’s okay to be passionate about lemmy, FOSS, federation, etc. It’s okay to discuss the virtues of FOSS development, or share suggestions with devs. Actually, that’s a big part of why this community exists! We hope that devs and users can have productive conversations that improve the lemmy experience for everyone.

It isn’t okay to rag on developers or others in the community for their preferences or decisions.

I’m not sure if you were here a year or so ago, when this community in fact engaged in a pretty serious conversation about whether to exclude apps that are not FOSS. The consensus of the community was to include everything and let grown-ups make their own well-informed decisions.

There are lots of reasons why a developer may decide not to make an app open-source. It can take a lot of work for a solo dev to organize and clean up code for open publication, and for some people this is a hobby or labor of love and that is not work that interests them. Some may not want to share code that is in early development if it is messy or could reflect on them professionally in unknown ways. Some may have access to proprietary code that they have rights to use but not share from other projects they are working on. And on and on.

In this community, all are welcome, and if anyone is not interested in an app, then they are fortunate that there are many great options!

“Activist” is a bit grandiose. I might go with “far-right conspiracist and video prankster Laura Loomer”

Great! Another great way to get Android users is to publish releases on the github page a lot of Lemmy users will install directly if available or use a service like Obtainium that pulls directly from GitHub.

Cool, money is more important than freedom anyway./s

Thanks! I must have missed that one.

The rules of the !News community are enforced with the best consistency we can manage. I do not make moderation decisions based on my personal beliefs, but the beauty of federation is that there are many news communities to follow and contribute to if you don’t approve of moderation decisions.

I have never defended torture of any kind, but feel free to link any comments that I have made if you need clarification.

Lastly, if someone who often supports Israel says this is particularly bad, what does that tell you?

If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.

Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though and it’s now open source).

Mastodon and others should take note.

Surprising that Texas is not on the list.

I assume it’s a technicality.

This is a particularly disturbing escalation of rhetoric. For those who don’t know, these types of statements have until now come from far-right leaders propping up the government. This is from Netanyahu’s own party, which he controls with pretty much total authority.

Not a timelapse, but still pretty adorable.

By the same argument, owning physical things is an unnatural state. For millennia, the idea of a human being owning a physical object was completely foreign.

People made tools and used them as necessary, then discarded them for another person to use. It’s only in the most recent 5% of human existence that private property had existed.

Mastodon is much better and resistant to enshittification. Bluesky is not federated or decentralized.

So what is that, like 6 or 7 people?

You got me!

Forget about the abject inhumanity of this. Title X is one of the best financial deals for the government and the American public.

By paying for healthcare for the poor, particularly poor women, society earns back dividends many times over. For every $1 we spend on Title X, we save $7 in future government expenses. This decision will cost us billions.

Imagine someone thinking that Gaza is about Americans more than it is about Israelis or Palestinians.

People are deluded or pretending that he didn’t bring up Soros for this very specific reason.
