You have a US citizen friend you can give money to donate? Normally I wouldn't encourage going around the sanctity of our elections but since AIPAC had already tipped the scales of our primaries and they do the same thing, fuck it. Nothing is sacred anymore apparently.

Oh nice. I don't think I've tried that one yet now that I think of it.
Ya I've only been able to cross post on the web UI. I've seen apps like Jerboa and Voyager at least show cross posting correctly, I just wish they made it easier to cross-post in app.
Can someone tl;Dr the bill? I can't open the article at work.
Godamnit Meta... Lol
I wonder if you could have an instance federated to every other instance just for archived purposes, to save the data on every other instance's post and comment. Because copies of posts and comments are saved to federated instances, too, right? Or do I understand the tech wrong?
So it could have an admin team but no users, to prevent people worried about spammers and bots joining that instance to get around defederation rules. Maybe it just has a bot that crawls Lemmy, looking for instances to federate to. Could that work?
You can't do it from the bottom up because you just get racists who won't hire people, like the black guy recently who changed his name on job applications and started getting interviews. I've seen that happen with friends, too.
That's a big step considering the people who would make the laws are corrupt from lobbying.
I love that they're treating all the companies equally, like Meta and Alphabet, too. Unlike the US. How do we get EU tech policies in the US? 😭
It's not China actively manipulating things. It's the algorithm that was getting gamed by the right wing. It's not like the Cambridge Analytica scandal where Facebook was working directly with companies that were trying to get Trump elected. It's more like the pipeline on YouTube, where it's just algorithms funneling people into what's popular ends up being gamed by conservative people. In the US, Tik Tok was known for helping the "woke left", so obviously it's not the same big conspiracy controlling both.
The thing is, it can also be used for good in that it can show people things like what's happening in Palestine without being censored by the US, like other US controlled social media has been.
And corn, which has been horrible for health in the US. But I guess that doesn't count.
