This is just a random idea I had, it'll only work with community input.

I've found it's really hard to find/create new communities and keep them active, and that's mostly due to the algorithm that priorities existing communities over new.

This is one possible tool to create a user curated index to counteract the algorithm and create a list of good/active smaller communities.

I figured most people here knew about it, but also just as many probably forgot about it, at least deep in the memory banks. ;)

Yeah that would be the hard part. I don't know how to do that either. Reddit used to have auto-mod tools but nothing like that exists here to easily automate it.

I may just archive the flag idea until a newer version of Lemmy software adds those capabilities.

 

I think most people would lean towards AOC since there seems to be lack of competition in the area of charisma and not-being-old categories.

Who do you think could be the next "Bernie Sanders" that could possibly run for president in 2028/2032? A lot can happen over the next 4 years, so 2028 there could still be a chance for a progressive president.

 

Men aged 35-64 are Trump's leading demographic. Republicans control nearly 100% of talk radio.

 

This is probably a bad idea, but I'll give it a whirl.

Obama had his YouTube popularity in 08', and Trump arguably won (with assistance) the internet strategy in 2016 vs Clinton.

What technological "channel" might propel the next US president to the finish line?

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans’ enthusiasm about voting in this year’s election has surged in recent months, with 69% of U.S. adults now saying they are “more enthusiastic than usual” about voting. This is up from 54% in March.

Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are largely driving the surge in enthusiasm nationally. In March, 55% of Democrats and Democratic leaners said they were more enthusiastic than usual about voting; now, 78% are. Republicans and Republican leaners, who held a slight edge in enthusiasm in March, now trail Democrats by a significant margin, with their current 64% enthusiasm score up slightly from 59% in the spring.

PSA: Support local journalism (self.politicaldiscussion)
 

Please support whatever local journalism you have in your area, if you have any. Financially if possible / subscriptions. They are one of the few organizations that give a voice in support of the public good, and very rarely receive the thanks and gratitude they deserve.

Many areas no longer have local journalism and are controlled by large corporations (most local TV news for example). In that case there is not much that can be done unless you are a journalist yourself.

The media is arguably a 4th branch of government that can help to maintain a system of checks and balances.

 

Obviously i don't think it would be feasible to send everyone into space, but just as a thought experiment.
