Strongly disagree. Bluesky is extremely American-centric and basically just a bulletin board of "hot takes". I find Mastodon much deeper, more engaging, and international. I'm glad I deleted my BS account and replaced it with Mastodon.
edit: However, I was never a Twitter user in the past
No, just no. Singh is as Canadian as the rest of us, period. And for any racialized Canadians reading this, that goes for you too as far as I and millions of other Canadians are concerned. We don't need to court the votes of racists and we should never feel like we ought to appease them; they either get educated or they spend the rest of their lives voting for regressives. The leadership of our diverse country ought to be reflected in our leaders and the days of trying to middle ground with regressives ought to be put firmly behind us.
Guess my Canadian trans ass is boycotting the UK now too. It's been a long time coming anyway, Terf Island.
(Sorry Scotland, you're cool but also in a toxic relationship I can't be around right now. I hope we can be friends again some day)
It's "not something you should do without their enthusiastic consent".
As a trans woman, I'm only giving back what he's been dishing out to me - except that when we talk about him, we're actually telling the truth.
On that note, Elon is a whiny nazi pissbaby.
What in the facebook is this crap?
"Trans rights" (photo centers drag queens).
I mean, allies are a thing of course, but most trans women, including myself, resent being confused for drag queens. Most drag queens aren't trans, they're entertainers.
What's nice about the fediverse is that you can say this and I can agree and upvote without our accounts getting banned. That, and people over on the other site are clutching pearls about this.
Counterpoint: Fedora is a testing bed for Red Hat. One of Red Hat's notable customers is the US military. I'd prefer to stay off that path if I can help it. It's a matter of trust, and it's a matter of indirectly contributing. I've seen people say the same things about Deepin and everyone nods in agreement, but why the hell should I trust a US project, for the same reasons?
Just as my two cents, as a user - I like flatpaks because I can have up to date versions of certain applications on a more stable Debian base. I also like that application configs all go in one spot (~/.var/app/com.Example.example), and having granular permissions management per application. As for immutable distros, I'd happily use one if I wasn't already getting all the stability I need from LMDE :)
He's not wrong
I'm wary of them and I refuse to use Fedora (because it's basically their testing bed) due to their support of the US military, in addition to the reasons you've mentioned. Also, I'm trying my damnedest to #BoycottUSA
I prefer LMDE. It doesn't check all my wants, but it finds a great balance and I don't feel like an unpaid tester.
