Yeah I dont like that. But I don’t want an echo chamber, I want a discussion. A factual and open mature discussion. I don’t like blocking users because I don’t agree with them. But I would love to see more hope and grit. Be the change you wanna see, I guess.

I’m not defeated. I will never quit. I came here because I don’t want to pay reddit with watching their ads… And I also got blocked for talking a lot about the boycott. Trying to delete my account was a hassle. I think I made this post to find the right people. To shed some light on how it feels to come from reddit to Lemmy. And also to get the vibe of how much shit I can get with a post like this. But I’m positively surprised. Most people who commented here are being really nice and encouraging.

Wonderfully put. Thank you, I needed this 🫂

Nice. You’re a fantastic person. Thanks 🖕

This is what I was searching for. Thank you.

No, unfortunately Trump is destroying major parts of how America works. But take action, believe in the cause. Patience will be a must, to restore america after all of this. If you allow yourself to feel defeated, the “flooding of the zone” has won. The other side, whatever you choose to call them, has won long time ago.

It’ll be a battle. But a battle for the American people, not the French. In the meantime, there are things to do to empower Europe’s defense, not to pick fights over the statue of liberty with America. You must have faith in yourself, in the people that what we do will make a difference

That’s why we have to take action. Not start a war, but take action.

I didn’t say “do nothing” while you wait

I’ve been noticing this more and more. Do you know any other forum where people who want to make a positive change can come together?

Don’t kill them, tax them.

Wait 4 years. Be patient. He barely won and he mostly won due to people not voting.

Edit

Many people are under the influence that you shouldn’t act while you wait. I see why it looks like that’s what I am saying, but it is not. You must act. And believe in yourself that you can make a difference. You have to act and not be passive. BUT France does NOT need to pick silly battles with America over a statue. Focus on the right issue at hand

Nice mate, thanks 👍

How do I fix it? Make a new user?

The Russians are pushing hard right now. Stay strong! This is how they want you to feel! Defeated and scared.

Sorry, double response. If you are in America, there are direct things you can do. The YouTubers always say to “call you local constituents”, right? If you are not in America you can join the boycott of American services and goods. Join the fight. Yes this is the beginning. But for god sakes, get up from the floor and pull your pants up!

Wonderful. I’m considering Ubuntu. But I’ll give mint a consideration. Thank you for the tip!

Maybe make the signs a little bit bigger… They need more Al Greens. Now. 31 % of the voters voted for trump. Around 40 didn’t even vote. They’ll loose more votes doing nothing, than actually doing something

I have done none of this. I haven’t blocked anybody. I never block people. I have also not changed any language setting.
