I’m not from California, so I don’t know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What’s going on there?
What’s with all the downvotes?...
It all of a sudden became TERRIBLE and now I can’t find anything? When did this happen? Why did this happen?
I keep seeing posts of some drama with typescript. What happened?
I have seen this man before but I do not know who he is
Is Musk competing with Zuck for the worst branding ever?
What changes are they making, and how to prevent them affecting users?...
I don’t get what the problem is? Anyone can elaborate.
Is this just his moderate side coming out? Appeasing Republicans?
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...
The site is down, and I don’t remember any calls for defederation or anything like that
I’m just so confused, what on earth happened?
I’ve seen so much stuff on what it means and how it affects people but I can’t find anything on the reason behind why anyone wants to shut down the government
Not German but sometimes browse ich lel and have it translated. However I’m yoo old or out of the loop to get what’s going on with all the fish/sturgeon memes in there....

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...

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)....
Also, what’s activitypub and mastodon? What do they have to do with threads?
I heard Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world among others, but recently I have been seeing content from beehaw communities and users. Did they re-federate? If so, why? And if not, why am seeing updates from their servers again?
I’ve been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I’ve seen on posts related to this, there’s been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?
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?
I get the concept of the Fediverse… and signed up/in on the sh.itjust instance (only to be defederated by Beehaw, but I digress)...
