What we outside fail to realize is these people live in a wholly different reality.

This.

I passed a church today with a sign saying, "The Bible is the absolute truth!" I realized that anyone who truly believes that bullshit - enough to make it a statement outside their church - is completely divorced from sanity.

These people do not perceive reality. At all. They are locked in a deranged fantasy world in their heads. They are severely impaired and their news sources and pastors work full time to keep them mentally ill and absolutely incapable of understanding reality.

I'm guessing that they will replace all of the mod teams and forcibly re-open the subreddits.

Doubt that will go as well as they're expecting it to.

Like the world's largest kidney stone, hopefully.

Jared Holt, senior research manager at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, said a handful of other groups appeared to be organizing rallies for Tuesday at the courthouse. But he noted they were attracting skepticism from doubters who accuse the organizers of setting up a "false flag" or federal honeypot trap intended to arrest Trump supporters.

LOL. When they all follow a party of liars, precisely because they are liars, is it any surprise they're all suspicious AF and can't trust each other?

Don't make the mosquitos come to you. Go to them!

Change is uncomfortable. There's just no way around it. And there's nothing wrong with you feeling that it's kind of empty here and not what you're used to.

For me, it will be uncomfortable regardless. My preferred interface (RIF) is gone in 2 weeks so nothing at Reddit will feel comfortable either.

So I've chosen to embrace the discomfort of Lemmy's newness and comparative "emptiness" over the discomfort of using Reddit's inferior app, for a couple of reasons: First, Reddit turned on us, not the other way around, and second, because this place is relatively new it's not littered with bots and spammers and trolls. The energy here is just better for me.

Even if all my favorite places and posters aren't here yet, I'll be here waiting for them when they arrive, and I'm the meantime, I'll be doing my part to recreate what I used to love there, here.

I've just gotta know was that local dial up in DC Digex?

I worked with Tale@UUNET during the Eternal September, providing NNTP support to our customers. God that was hell.
