@silentwater Maybe go over to my Mastodon and look at my replies. One of the reasons I wanted to set up the account is sharing images is very kludgy...
But only having recently discovered this place I find it seems full of people on precisely precisely the same nightmare journey I'm on and that's neat. I can't be the only one who would like to connect
But also somewhat tempted to make an alt and not have to deal with the annoyances. My laziness and lack of desire for a billion accounts has thusfar stopped me
The only asterisk I would add to this is that there are certain limits to interoperability (sorry about the @s for example I need to remember to manually delete them) so it requires patience and willingness to deal with that. Also for example I can't title posts, am subject to my instance's character limit, and can't see your emojis or images without going offsite. But as a rather ML leaning, Chapo enjoying former member of DSA and the Fraternal Order of Saint Bernard I am happy to say hi here
@pooh@timconspicuous you need to connect to more instances over there. Yes you will find more than a few state department addled libs but that's just more fodder for the dunk tank. I can tell you for damned sure there are plenty of more ideologically friendly, actually left people of various stripes on other Mastodon instances too.
The writers are highly visible and might inspire others. And most of what the machine demands most of us make is shit.
Building the union is worker power. More money for workers, is, actually worker power, or can be. Getting from there to flipping the whole table is something no one in the Failed States has figured out, but that shouldn't mean don't bother or it isn't unambiguously good because it might make life less horrific for some working people.
@thethirdgracchi@mazdak also wait roughly 15 min pretty soon the Failed States of America is going to be desperately trying to keep certain essential workers from fleeing too and will resort to measures perhaps more desperate than any seen in the past
@MoreLikeHazBeen@Tachanka hmm either image posting from Mastodon dosen't work or Hexbear just regurgitated my picture of Francis Fukuyama's dumb diatribe all over the floor.
@silentwater should be able to, but you should also be able to see the reply to myself I made with my other account.
