OP: The establishment being upset about Mamdani’s victory is a good thing.
You: I’d prefer if it didn’t happen.
That’s how I, and most other people, are reading the exchange. You failed to provide any additional context.

Don’t feed the troll
Only reason we are paying attention to them at all is for the future criminal trials.
I’m paying attention so I won’t be surprised when the second civil war starts.
Which is kind of funny when I think about the casual racism that was thrown around by my Italian immigrant Grandmother when I was a kid.

Most of the people I talk to regularly, yes. I also use Discord for less private stuff, less personal contacts, and for video chat when I play D&D. I text with my wife and one friend who I mostly discuss D&D with. Both of them have Signal if I needed to reach out to them privately or while abroad. For the record, I would like to get off Discord but audio and video quality are really important to me and I haven’t found a good replacement yet.
I also have a seperate (company paid) phone for all work communications. There’s ups and downs to that but it definitely contributes to my ability to be restrictive in what apps I put on my phone.
The problem, besides that just being gross, is that hosting csam is a very serious crime in most places. Leaving that unmoderated can very easily end with alphabet agencies from around the world shutting down lemmy instances.
Yeah sure its all fun and games until people start posting csam.
I’m running Graphene and I’m very happy with it.
I’d nail my foot to the floor before I installed WhatsApp.
He’s a Baltimore city police officer last I heard.

Actually, there was a zero tolerance policy in my middle school several years before Columbine.
But bullies somehow changed the narrative to where fighting back was wrong.
I grew up in the age of zero tolerance policies in school which meant you would get suspended for fighting back no matter the circumstances. I blame those policies for the shift.
Sorry, I meant no one in this post. It’s not shocking that thr president would try to downplay someth8ng like that.
No one is saying that South Africa doesn’t have a violence problem just that “white genocide” is a lie.
Final Fantasy 6 but, back in my day, it was called Final Fantasy 3.
