  • What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.

    It’s hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don’t want to let them make the first move on you.

    As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.

    Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As those who didn’t have the choice to begin with.

    Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.







  • Hi! Great to be here, thanks! First Lemmy post ever, too.

    I’m sure I’m not the first one in this Reddit exodus to mention this, but can we assume maybe there’s an interest in refining the Lemmy experience to be a bit more streamlined and user friendly? As in, simpler to navigate and less dependent in tech-saviness.

    For example, I had some confusion just to create my Lemmy account, or even download and sign-in to the Jerboa app. There’s many Lemmy related pages and apps, which can be quite confusing and discouraging for most users showing interest in moving over. And I do consider myself tech-savvy, so I’m sure most people I know would just give up on it.

    I know this is a somewhat sudden and unexpected move, and the last thing I want is to create unnecessary pressure on Lemmy, as these things take time, naturally.

    Anyways I wish you well, and lots of success. I’ll try my best and make this platform my main reddit-like one.
