I have to preface this by saying I’m voting for Biden
And this is why things will not change. Why should he, or any DNC member, do anything for you? You have given up the one bit of leverage you have, your vote, and promised it to your designated betters no matter what they do to you and how much they sold you out.
They openly post their finances, you can take a look: https://blog.mastodon.world/
The $1200 is for both mastodon.world and lemmy.world combined, but yeah. Most of it (80%) is going towards Hetzner, which is their cloud storage/hosting provider.
Ah, the classic "nothing to hide" response.
How did that quote go again? "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime"? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.
I'm also on Librewolf, but most people are not all that tech-savvy, so basic Firefox is better for them just because it has auto-update.
Firefox user here. Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser I've found, so I use it for sites that refuse to work with non-chromium browsers.
Specifically, ublock origin. The "origin" part is important.
Librewolf watches in the distance.
That would make pushing posts to the top via botting way too easy, and far harder to detect. Federation is intentionally set up so that instances do not trust each other.
Idk, I preferred meatspin and lemonparty.
Votes on lemmy are inherently public, due to how federation works.
The problem there is, the DNC are the very people helping promote these far right fascists in an attempt to foster that attitude of lesser-evil-ism. There's been a bunch of leaks on that topic, but still by far the most prominent was 2016 Trump (if you want to know more about that, google "pied piper trump hillary"), and there's no reason to think they've stopped.
I don't know what the solution is. Voting for any good candidates in local elections, and green in the general (unless one of the other parties does something to earn your vote) maybe? But the problem is so entrenched that I'm not sure it even can be solved by voting. Situation just sucks in general.
