Idk what you’re talking about. Nobody in the forums I was in was negative. Everyone wanted to do good in the world. Not by causing any violence, your pacifist comment is strange to me. I am also a pacifist… So… Mkay.

And yes, I was banned. Most likely for being active in buyeuropean forum and promoting boycott oil and gas from… Well, you know.

So yeah. Idk what you’re talking about.

The problem is the political side of Lemmy. Many people are acting exactly as they’ve been trained to act. Docile and defeated, full of desinformation. People on Reddit have more hope and will to push back. In form of different protests. Somebody on here actually commented that they learned the language the shall not be named, in the wait of an invasion. Wich is so sad, because we need to stick together and unite. Especially if article 5 will be challenged.

I found it. It’s in my native language and “undetermined” language. What does it need to be on?

Also… Nobody will do all this, this website and app needs to be more user friendly

I’m on the voyager app. There’s no settings when I press reddit.org. the settings button is separate and there’s no language settings in there.

31% voted for him

30% voted for Harris

The rest didn’t vote or voted for something else. More people didn’t actually vote for him than those who did.

USA is not a democracy. For a democracy peoples votes count, not the electoral votes. Did you know a person can become president with only 27% of the votes?

The problem is their system

The American people are waking up and it will be their fight. In the meantime Europe has their OWN issues. This is not the time to bicker over silly things.

And some are super pessimistic. But hey, be the change you wanna see I guess. I guess we’ll have to wait nad for people to spread the word.

Go on

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
