A good way to find cool communities to subscribe to is searching topics that interest you on lemmyverse.net.

Once you have a good amount of subscriptions, you'll have a pretty good time.

Alternatively, if you diligently block each community from /all that doesn't interest you, the /all page also becomes pretty great to scroll.

Alt of Prodigalfrog@slrpnk.net here (slrpnk admin). As mentioned in the link Faythofdragons provided, the server unexpectantly went down when poVoq went on a work trip, and the failure was unfortunately in a way that requires physical access to fix.

Excellent article by Drew, I hope it helps push the needle in the tech sector.

As an addendum, I will say I agree with the argument put forward in your link that pacifism is a death sentence against a government willing to kill en masse regardless of what effects it would have on the world stage.

I don't think the USA is at the point where nonviolent methods are ineffective.

They brought their authoritarian government to its knees with continued non violent (in the sense of lack of firearms) resistance combined with an effective general strike.

They ultimately failed because the liberal parts of the resistance fell for the reformist bait, but it demonstrated that you don't need violence to win if you're able to educate the movement that reform is a trap.

This is the correct response at this point.

According to him, it came out tasting like a somewhat below average lightly carbonated beer, with little bitterness without any hops. I think he did it mostly as an interesting experiment.
