for americans you vote and protest and whatever else one can. for non americans you vote and tell your reps you want to pull away from any reliance your country has on america and strengthen ties with other democracies and you avoid buying american products.

I don't really concern myself with who runs things. I just treat the federation like the real world. If I like places I frequent them, if I don't dislike places they will be in my rotation, if I don't like them then I don't hang at them.

I would not worry about it honestly. Anyone can create communities and I would not be to concerned if one is run by thin skinned folks. I mean banning you without discussion to me is I place I don't want to frequent. Was using the word feud to cavalier. Well yeah. I mean we all realize how fucked the situation is but personally if I saw someone call it that I might comment but not sit there and think they are purposely trying to minimize it or something. I would just block the community and move on. Heck I consider being blocked a convenience to find out places I don't want to frequent.

I mean thats going to be politician but unfortunately thats not really supposed to be a profession but it is.

Feels like that is the major way of doing things by the current administration in my country.

wow. this is a tough one to comment on as its not really a good/bad but more its complicated thing.

at first I was like. wtf. where did that come from. then I got it.

im not even sure what reddiqutte was.

Never mattered to me and I don't like to use them. I only downvote in extreme instances where like I don't anybody really wants to see that. Usually people just being mean with swears or slurs or such. Its kinda the same with upvotes where I feel wow. I can't see anyone not wanting to see this its so amazing or oddly in some cases its where my only comment would be like yeah I feel the same or such and Im a bit to lazy to write that out. See Im here for conversation, communication, collaboration, and such. I actually try to make it a point to not comment on links where the person who posted does not put in a body starting the conversation. With the fediverse I have come to the conclusion that I will no longer give the internet special consideration with interaction and am going to treat it like meatspace. Shoving a magazine turned to the page of an article is going to be treated as rude. Let me know why you think this means anything or is worth my attention. Anywho the funny thing is now I upvote most things but that is just because of this interaction with settings that take things out of my feed if I interact with things and I don't want to arbitrarily downvote. And this is the problem with up/downvotes as some folks will ignore the whole thing, some will be super picky like I am normally, and some will upvote practically everything for some reason and maybe some troll likes who downvote almost everything and every behavior up, down, inbetween, and sideways of that. Personally I avoid feed views that use the up/down votes.

Got me. I get a little annoyed with subgroup specific stuff like veterans and cops. Its like how bout we help everyone equally? Nope can't do that. I mean we don't have universal healthcare even but hey if we can't do a citizens income how about universal snap.
