It costs a lot to become vice president, especially if you weren't born in America

How would you even know what ties a person has when the problem is government level security. Besides, Russia doesn't exactly work on government payrolls anyway, it's more about working in subsidiary companies owned by the oligarchs who are able to skirt the law effectively becoming the government in the process. It's totally foreign to Western style government, there is nothing like it in the world

I'd also like to see archfeys from both courts fighting over who gets to claim the new feywild lawyer.

True, there will be a lot of self-selection here. So maybe my theory is unfounded

The sucky answer is if lemmy gets popular it'll just be Reddit without the ban lists

If you give up waiting for the parent comment to respond and begin testing soap, let us know the results.

I'm on Ubuntu which is supposed to be at the least nerdy. Still hella nerdy, I just want to make memes and play games lol

Yeah that part's a confusing mess. I moved to Linux on my gaming PC a year ago and have been pleasantly surprised multiple times but not with installers!

On mbin you'll still see them, just in a separate section. And that's only my perspective too, communities you join might dislike my methods entirely.

Only for streaming and I'm just brainstorming, I don't actually know how it would work. I'm just thinking about what mbin needs to be truly next generation rather than just a Reddit replacement

Reddit didn't replace anything directly, it innovated. And whatever comes after will have to innovate as well

From a moderator perspective it seems essential to have a microblogging section, because otherwise people make entire posts for simple questions or personal achievements. That plagues Reddit, drags down the whole site.

I still think it's missing something though, streaming video service support. Mbin's idea of combining known socials works great in that respect. Text and image, but needs video support. P2P maybe, no storage needed.
