The words hell in a handbasket come to mind.

Not a clue what that means. Are you just compressing some chit?

I get it. It’s just the kind of meaningless babble I’d expect in a social setting, like at a bar or party.

I think the States have some 🤪

So it’s just empty blathering then, when this German ambassador says they have our back. Great.

What does that mean exactly, has our back? How?

I think you just came up with rump’s new name.

Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it. The news isn’t the best source of information anymore.

Not sure if I’m reading you right… sounds like you’re talking more on the political level, as opposed to how the average citizen on the streets will feel about welcoming Americans?

Another sensitive question: With everything that’s happening, do you worry about another major terrorist attack?

I saw an article earlier that said Americans are planning on traveling to Europe more. So a sensitive question for you, if it’s ok: What places in the world do you feel you could travel to right now where you feel you’d be welcomed as an American? Sincerely asking.

Excellent, very good to hear.

Hey there, me again. Would it be a good or bad idea to try to get Lemmy mentioned in some news article(s)? I don’t have connections or anything, but wouldn’t mind trying… could write a few emails. I don’t know how much attention you want to draw to it, so just a thought.

But speaking generally, what’s the end goal with all these bots? The way some people speak, the net’s almost all bots as is. I don’t believe it, otherwise I wouldn’t bother signing on anymore… but if that’s in fact where we’re headed, what do people think they’re accomplishing in the long run by flooding the Internet with these things? Won’t it be just them and their little bots in the end?

You’ll never convince me to blame kids for their parents’ poor choices or wrong behavior.

Thanks. I’m finding the change surprisingly easy… it normally takes me much longer. I didn’t start using Reddit even until a year after I first visited the site. But now, for the last couple of days, I’ve checked in only because of notifications I’m still getting. There’s something about Lemmy I’m taking to really fast… has a more intimate feel or something… definitely much more pleasant!

You’re more of an expert than I am! I don’t get it… what do they think they’re accomplishing by ridding themselves of human users?

Thanks for your support! I’m just sorry really to the Americans who don’t deserve this, the kids especially :(

Thanks. I don’t use Twitter, so it’s good to hear what’s going on over there.

Right on! Someone else in the family has been doing the grocery shopping, and my list is always titled, “Anything but American. If there’s no equivalent, Canadian or otherwise, don’t get it!”. Today I’m making ALL CANADIAN stew again! Had it the other day, some of the best stew I’ve made!🍁💪

Excellent, thanks! Especially since I’ve continued sharing/posting it👍
