    • Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
    • Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
    • Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
    • Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
    • Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
    • Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
    • Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

    Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don’t want to see him as PM.



  • That’s awesome! Yes each country, region, municipality should have their own instance. I’ve spun up a Lemmy instance and going to try and make grassroots in roads by going to local businessses and trying to get them to sign up.

    Its a chicken and the egg dilemma. Trying to get users is hard, but if there are businesses that interact with local users then there’s something more whole some. Not zucc, musky, or the other broligarchs making pennies on each local interaction. Their power needs to be usurped by the people.


  • Yes it’s good on the surface, but echo chambers are near impossible to break. Having everyone on fediverse where there’s not perverse incentives to tailor algorithms to keep your engagement could help free some younger minds.

    Its still a curated echo chamber and not reflective of the broader society, but its not a broligarch making pennies on each click either. For online social discourse, transparency is key.

    Reddit has recently been issue warnings for users that engage (read: upvote) with content construed as inciting violence. Free and open discourse is not tenable on the main platforms (Meta, X, Reddit, etc.) and are being astro-turfed by bots trying to drive wedges in the communities.

  • This instance was setup using a devops as a service (devops is automating deployment) using resources here: https://elest.io/open-source/lemmy

    Deploying a webserver is half the issue, it requires setting up domains using DNS and other OpSec information (SSH is on by default for all IPs). The console of elestio is great like better than most most cloud providers even “enterprise grade”.

    As the todos grow it will be indicative of what needs to occur and steps others will need to setup to ensure things go smoothly and this Lemmy instance has reliable uptime.

    There are are also scaling issues that could need to be addressed if this becomes a popular instance. There’s a few things i’d like to add to the scripts used to setup the Lemmy instance or maybe make some changes to the code but that’s more long term.

    I think it to be important that we form an online community that is open and transparent and works for our community.
