Being a Reich Winger is incompatible with rational or thoughtful discussion.

Reich wing ideology boils down to subservience and deference to authority, not knowledge.

Shit, they can do a lemmy or kbin instance, it would fit their format anyways. Post link from their domain, and it gets shared across the network.

News outlets should be spinning up their own federated social media instances, so that THEY control their own platform, akin to a website, or email addresses.

That solves all of their issues with it.

Dunno about liberals, but I don't like hanging out at nazi bars.

So, it mostly doesn't mirror US demographics then, as the US, as a whole, skews away from the GOP.

Yes, I get it, "but the ballots"... ballot cast are not a 1:1 for the party lean of the US as a whole.

You can fight the elephant trails, or accept them being there. Your choice.

There are also things called elephant trails.

People commenting to be able to easily come back to the topic are creating an elephant trail, which will exist regardless of the UI designer, if the software allows people to do it.

OneNote.

That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.

These aren't printer drivers, but drivers for a Meson coax NIC that hasn't been in business for a decade type of thing.

Really popular old drivers stay for a loong time, like the floppy driver that just got removed last year.

Nobody needing a modern kernel is using a floppy drive.

The app I'm using today has nothing to do with the instance I use.

Just like email... clients just speak a protocol, and use a particular manner of presentation.

Art is inherently political.

For example, do you think Gordon Freeman would be a Trump voter?

Or the entire Bioshock franchise? That entire story is a big political message.
