So they’re basically voting explicitly to void the Constitution.

Interesting tidbit there…

Clinton was impeached for perjury - specifically for lying under osth.

The thing is though that the “lying” part of it wasn’t the actual crime. The “under oath” part is the actual crime. Perjury is actually the violation of a legally sworn oath, and it’s just that the oath to tell the truth in a court is the one most often violated

But violaing an oath of office is also technically perjury, and a crime, and impeachable. And congresspeople swear oaths to, among other things, uphold the Constitution.

So that could be interesting if the Democrats demolish the Republicans in the midterms.

It likely won’t be, since Congresspeople are pretty much universally corrupt cowards, but still…

Those aren’t actually lemmy.world communities.

Everything on that list is a community on that instance (whatever it is - lemm.ee I guess).

For example, a post from a lemm.ee account to AskLemmyWorld@lemmy.world is actually a post to an entirely separate community - AskLemmyWorld@lemmy.world@lemm.ee That lemm.ee community is a mirror of the lemmy.world community (and of all the other communities on all the other instances that mirror it.

That’s how federation actually works. You never actually leave your home instance, and what seems like a post to a community on another instance is actually a post to a locally hosted mirror of that community.

Only much, much uglier.

I just got this perfect visual image of Trump - greasy, overly made-up, flabby face contorted with childish rage - shrieking “Off with his head!”

Worth noting that while fascism doesn’t have its own unique economic system per se, it does have some common tendencies, including a mutually supportive relationship between the largest and most well-connected companies and the government, and a “revolving door” by which business leaders also hold government office and vice versa.

I access lemmy through Firefox, and I just have bookmarks for all of my accounts and have whichever ones I’m using the most pinned. Switching from one to another is just a matter of clicking a link.

I don’t know of any way to combine everything into one feed, though I wouldn’t be surprised if one or more of the apps will do it. That’s exactly the opposite of what I value though - I don’t want just one feed - I want whichever feed I happen to be in the mood for at the moment.

Ah - I get a chance to preach.

I think it makes a lot of sense, and I’ve been trying to convince people of that since I’ve been here. It costs nothing and provides benefits, and what more could anyone want?

When I first came to Lemmy, I couldn’t figure out any reason to pick one specific instance, and I finally decided that the only way to know if it mattered was to create multiple accounts and compare them. So I did.

I sort of intended to eventually settle on one, but as it turned out, I never really did, and in fact have added a number of accounts since.

The first and most notable thing I discovered is that every instance is different. Unsurprisingly, specialty instances like ani.social and literature.cafe are different from the general instances, but even the general instances differ from each other just depending on which other instances they’re federated with and which communities they carry.

I default to All on most instances, and All on lemm.ee, for instance, is significantly different from All on Sopuli, or from All on dbzer0, or from All on Beehaw, and so on. So I can effectively tailor my experience simply by using different accounts.

I generally have about three general accounts that I cycle between, with another few specialty ones - either specialized by topic, like ani.social, or specialized by bias, like .ml. I find that’s enough so that pretty much no matter what I’m in the mood for, I have an account that fits.

Additionally, from a more simple practical perspective, instances change over time, and are sometimes shut down entirely. That’s never directly affected my experience, since I always have other accounts. So for instance, when .world started to decline, I just stopped using it, and when lemmy.ninja shut down (RIP), I just spent more time on other instances. And as new instances pop up, or just come to my attention, I just make an account, then take them for a test drive and see what I think. I’ve discovered a number of good instances that way.

So… yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense and it’s pretty much effortless and entirely free, so there’s no reason not to do it.

I think they’re analogous to people who would stand and watch a stoning, then congratulate themselves on not having thrown any rocks themselves.
