Back in 2017 the story broke that Trump and his goons tried to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton from a Russian government official. The emails were clear solicitation of foreign interference with a presidential election. You know, the whole “if it is what you say, we love it” thing, which must be illegal....
Title says it all I actually browsed reddit for the first time in months and their news is still better then ours and it kind of pissed me off.
I am hesitant to Google because of all the absolute garbage that will come up, I don’t want to sift through. Can anyone give me a little sparks notes on the shit he stands for? What has everyone whipped up into a frenzy?
Since yesterday the FMHY instance, lemmy.fmhy.ml, is seemingly offline. My main account is registered there amd I haven’t been able to access it all day....
There’s been a lot of controversy lately surrounding the protest actions over on r/place but having never been there myself I don’t understand what the purpose of the subreddit was originally, or why protesting users chose that specific subreddit to utilize, a breif explanation would be much appreciated ✌️
Is Musk competing with Zuck for the worst branding ever?
Posts referencing some things happening or not happening in small towns are all over lemmy & mastodon, sometimes with a picture of some country singer (?) with a cowboy hat (but never with a name do I can’t just google what’s going on)....
The site is down, and I don’t remember any calls for defederation or anything like that
I’ve seen headlines about actors/actresses protesting about stuff. The same goes for other creative talent in the entertainment industry. What’s going on there? What are their demands? What fueled these protests all of a sudden?

Woke up to Ohio (replacing beans)? Whatup Lemmy!?
I keep running into comments where users are arguing for avoiding Lemmy, claiming that Lemmy supports authoritarian governments, supports the CCP, sides with Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, denies genocides committed by nominal communist governments, and other similar political claims. I know there are communist instances...
What did they change?
Ages ago Elon Musk used to be positively regarded by most people. I missed everything that happened that changed the public opinion, I missed the changes he imposed on Twitter (though I gather it’s the same as it happened with reddit, only earlier) and yeah. I’m out of the loop. If someone can briefly recap the main events...
Also, what’s activitypub and mastodon? What do they have to do with threads?
I’ve noticed a lot of posts that have the word “rule” added to it even when it doesn’t seem to make sense. Sometimes I’ve even seen titles with only the word “rule”. Anyone know what it’s about?
I was gone for an hour last night, and when I got back, my feed was half beans. What gives?
Why the obsession with beans on shipost communities? What’s the origin of the bean meme?
Something something happening is Moscow?

I don’t get what the problem is? Anyone can elaborate.
Why is everyone talking about some married couple traveling around upset about money? How does race factor into it? One of them is named Harry right? Did they have to change the rules about who gets to be queen because of this?
