Sadly, the protection of the 2nd Amendment by the Republican Party is a result of fear and perceived loss of control because of a rapidly changing and diversifying America and of those that intimidate and scare others into their way of thinking.

Hey, from Fosstodon here. If I hadn't already created an account at fosstodon, I'd probably be at Beehaw. Yes, it does benefit from federation. Smaller-like minded communities are usually better at self policing than one large one that does it for them which is why I think the model works.

I use Organic Maps on iPhone and think it's great.

Perhaps they're is more we can do to encourage donations, but without being annoying about it.

@vhstape @Cube6392
Good thing that those people stick out and threfore we as a community can take care of the problem. I'll do my part to flag jerks.

Apple's ecosystem works well for it's users, but it screws over anyone else not completely consumed in their ecosystem.

A helpful browser extension tool is Privacy Redirect. It allows automatic link redirects from:

Reddit -> Libreddit
Youtube -> Invidious
Google -> Startpage (or other)
Maps -> OpenStreetMap

... and a few others.
It is very customizable for what instances or sites you need which is why I think it's great.

Yeah, it is a disappointing thing what Reddit has done. Also hello to everyone at /c/Tecnology Beehaw.org on Lemmy from Fosstodon.org on Mastodon. :)
