The Roman Empire took centuries to eventually collapse and a lot of it was corruption, hyperinflation, and complacency. It's happening here but at a much quicker rate.

Naturally, that's what any vile and absolutely terrible Lemmy user would say
Instead of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, immediately get rid of the gerontocracy (Schumer, Pelosi), regroup, find a leader with some balls and declare open warfare on Republicans. It's not like there isn't any ammunition.
I've been online since the late 80s and the Internet, generally speaking, has gone to shit. I've been on Reddit for 16 years and it's been going down the tubes for a while now. Too many people, overzealous mods and now a soft paywall? Yeah, I'm done.
Either all of the polling sites are lying or that impotent clown still has a 47% approval rating. Why? I have no idea.
Lemmy can expect some inbound traffic
I used Linux on and off over the years and will probably switch back to using it when Windows 10 is no longer supported. Linux will never be mainstream but the user base would grow if every Steam game ran on Linux seamlessly. That's probably never going to happen, though. There will also never be "the one" distro to rule them all. Mint and Ubuntu come pretty close.
I've tried talking to Trump voters. It's fucking impossible because they live in an alternate universe and see a completely different reality than everybody else.
I've said it over and over, the Dems need to be more Machiavelli and less Mr. Rogers.
His platform was supposed to be grocery prices and immigration. What happened to those?
I'm 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS... We're screwed

There really wasn't much online in the 80s, other than a lot of archives. After the invention of HTML and subsequently, the World Wide Web it became a lot more user-friendly and also got filled with a lot of garbage. After 2010 or so is when enshitiffication went into overdrive.
