Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
This is my lemmy account because I got sick of how unstable kbin dot social was.

Thanks; fixed!
Sure bro. Suuuuuure.
I’m replacing my phone soon, and I’ve anyway decided that when I get a new phone, I’m not installing that cursed app on it. That’s how I’m finally going to cut myself off from it and be done.
You’ve highlighted what is definitely a major problem with the Fediverse - all it takes for you to lose all the hard work you’ve done building up a community is the person running a server to pull the plug with no warning.
I loved kbin social - I started out on there, and only moved over to lemmy because it was getting too erratic and it was impossible to find out what was going on. Being able to move is a great thing, but if you miss your window to move, you’re SOL.
Admins definitely need to be willing and able to have the reins over to someone else if it’s getting to be too much, or to at least let people know in advance if they’re planning to shut down. Communication is key.
I gave up on kbin social months ago when it went down with no idea when it would be working again. I ended up going over to lemmy.world.
I am just so, so tired of being constantly inundated with being told to CONSUME.
How does that change what he did? Or how he’s acting NOW?
Oh yeah, it doesn’t.
He held an innocent man basically hostage with a shotgun. Folks love making excuses to handwave racism and now are shocked that Fetterman is what he is now.
If only there was this much sympathy for the man he pulled a gun on.
He pulled a shotgun on a man back in 2013, so before he was even elected, and well before his stroke, so I have no idea how any of what you said relates at all.
The stroke may well have been part of it, but he honestly told us who he was when he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black man out for a jog, all because he thought he’d heard gunshots and assumed the man was running away.
The only problem with the Democratic Party is that not only is it run by geriatrics who are out of touch, all their advisors are also geriatrics who are out of touch.
But they won’t, because once they get into Congress they get just as tied to big money as any other politician. Plus, there all too busy trying to chase after Republican voters, even though they’ll never, ever vote for a Democrat.
Do you also think the Saturday Night Massacre was Nixon killing everyone? This kind of hyperbole isn’t new at all.
I realized I like having a set app for things, and all the kbin/mbin apps have stalled out. I might consider going back once there are some apps, but that’s a pretty big maybe right now.
I’m still trying to figure out where I want to go since I’ve given up on kbin social, so I’ll give piefed a shot as well - I do like the UI so far.
You can’t even say he knows his audience because not that many people were actually laughing. Dude is so unfunny he couldn’t even get a Trump crowd up laugh at racist jokes.
