i like the internet
I think most people agree with you, and I don’t really think anyone would say that hiring illegal workers to lower prices and pay them lower wages is a solution.
People are upset not because they can’t exploit illegal immigrants anymore, but because the solution should’ve been to provide the working immigrants with worker protections and easier paths to citizenship (which you suggested something similar). Instead they’re attempting to suddenly and forcefully deport all of them.
What a boring way to view the world
In what way
You’re probably right tbh
I honestly don’t understand point 1. no matter how much people say it.
Maybe I’m naive because it wasn’t confusing to me personally, but it is only one extra step to create an account. When people explain the Fediverse to new people they compare it to e-mail anyway, which basically has the exact same sign-up structure. The only difference to me is the way it is advertised. Nobody in general says “you need to join e-mail”, it’s usually “join GMail” or “join Yahoo”. I don’t know how it would be solved without detracting from the “choose the instance that is right for you” experience though, since the instances with the most support and funding will obviously hold the most influence (as we currently see with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, not to mention pixelfed.social).
IDK maybe I’m wrong, lmk, but I don’t think choosing an instance is all the friction it’s said to be.
The big instances are definitely slower though.
Not at all what I’m saying, of course actions have consequences.
What the commenter was saying is that all Americans deserve what’s happening, even those who voted for Harris. I think it’s pretty disingenuous to say that the people who are impacted by what’s going on right now deserve what’s happening.
You may have spread as much information as you could and pushed for change and tried to warn as many people as you could, but it doesn’t matter and we all deserve this because a portion of people stayed home and Trump ended up winning the election.
Incredibly defeatist claim.
