Heck yeah. Go Carney.

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.

Yes, every piece slowly falls into place. *Cue maniacal villain laughter

It’s like they actually studied history, to try and replicate the desired results as identically as possible. Or they didn’t, at all, and this is just 2+2=4 scenario but with history.

Yeah, wild. NATO can’t help Ukraine or accept it, should stay out of the conflict.

But then wants to use the Ukraine conflict not only to take Ukraine down, but also dictate the rules on how NATO and bordering nations operate.

How about we just take you down and you get your own Nuremberg trial while we show the world what happens to dictators?

Seems like a plan to me, specially so your western orange buddy can see how little we think of your ilk and what we do to them.

That’s great to know, and will try to compare. Can’t say I had yet trouble with Jerboa, but then again only today did I start to nuke my reddit history - initiating the full switch to Lemmy. Any info is always welcome, stay well! 😁

Thank you so much for your perspective. I’ll be sure to check them out as soon as I can, and as I increasingly integrate myself in this platform. Cheers! 😄

Thank you for clarifying! Now I understand a bit more how it works. 😁

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.
