It’s poorly worded, but look at their link which shows Poland’s election. It will make more sense. The party only received 35% of the votes (the rest of the votes going to opposing parties), but they’d suddenly own 55% of the seats due to this system.

The problem is when the temps come back down, climate deniers will go “WhAt HaPpEnEd?”.

The problem here is conservatives call learning about our past mistakes “woke” and do everything in their power to remove this curriculum from our schools. For some reason, they look at it as “trying to destroy our great nation and traditional values” instead of “learning from our past to be a better country going forward.”

Except military, which they teach A LOT, we spent maybe 5 days on the crimes we committed against Native Americans, but an entire month or more on the Revolutionary War. Hell, we spent longer on learning about “world religions” than we did all our mistakes. Plus, any WW1/WW2 war crimes committed by our side is not taught whatsoever.

The best part is this huge spike just means more devs coming to the platform! Kbin is good, but maybe someone comes out with a new application that can easily do all of this even better!

Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.

Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.

It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.

You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!

I’m not going to say you are wrong, but I have yet to meet a single fucking person that actually cares about bubble colors.

I hear this parroted so often, but never see it myself. Didn’t see it when all I had used was Android devices, didn’t see it when I tried an iPhone and got involved in their own communities.
