Many news outlets’ pontificators were incensed that anyone would voice frustration with health insurance when an industry CEO has fallen.

    I want the population to exercise more civic engagement and vote to their interests, not their social identity. But the Zeitgeist is a force of nature that cannot be bargained with.

    Hence an absolute monarchist is the President Elect and the death of a rich CEO is lauded.

    Out of all the people who have been shot in NYC in 2024, Brian Thompson is the one I feel the least sorry for. And that includes people I’ve never heard of.

    Fox News (12/6/24) quoted one of its own contributors, Joe Concha, saying, “I think this encapsulates the far left’s worldview: If you run a company that isn’t to their liking, you deserve to die.”

    This is not about running a random company to someones liking. Its about the company that decides whether people die or not. It literally decides about the life and death of its customers and they wonder why people respond with death threats when the company tries to kill them.

    Internet users are declaring that the man police believe to be the shooter, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, is certifiably hot

    That’s just a fact. It has nothing to do with whether or not you’re sympathetic to him.

        It does seem clear from the messages they write which, coincidentally sound entirely like Reddit marketing tripe, that they are gunning for a corporate buyout and golden parachutes, for a Lemmy instance, which is laughable.

    Kinda off topic, but I wish more of these posts were not on the .world instance. They seem to be giving into the censors and becoming more reddit-like over time.

        As someone that started on Lemmy post Reddit, I found .world to be the most up front and easy to sign up for. I would love to change off of world but I’m not sure the best alternatives or ways to find them? Do you have any recommendations?

          join-lemmy.org has a list of instances you can join. If you just want to look through a list that’s a great place to browse.

          If you’re looking for specific recommendations I’d say lemm.ee is great in terms of moderation, they don’t overmoderate and tend not to defederate from many places so users can kinda choose themselves whether or not to block an instance. Dbzer0 is similar, it’s the instance with the big piracy community which .world blocked, and the admin is also great.

          Both of those are in the top 10 communities in terms of size though iirc, which ideally people would avoid the biggest instances and join smaller ones to try and prevent centralization like what happened with .world communities.

          Lemmy.zip is also great from what I’ve heard, and while it’s not small, it’s top 20 instead of top 10 at least.

          Depends on what your interests are but at a bare minimum I’d avoid creating an account or a community on .world, .ml, hexbear.

          I’ve got like 5 accts on different instances

          The first days of the rush to the fediverse were chaotic, it wasn’t ready for such demand. One of the things lacking was an easy portal to help new users figure out what would work best. The .world instance for whatever reason became the more visible one as more people joined.

          You’ve got a few replies to consider - don’t forget that there aren’t just Lemmy instances that see federation, there’s also Mbin (a fork of Kbin) that’s has a different feel to it and can see Mastodon blogs too.

          I too would like an answer to this. I started on a much smaller, more local instance, but it would always crashing as soon as I started scrolling. Like every single time I used it. Switched to .world and it’s never happened once.

    I demand more sympathy for americans with medical issues. Enough to get action to get them healthcare. Once we have that I might have excess sympathy that could be applied to health insurance execs. so get cracking.

    Normally when you ‘demand’ something, you would have some sort of necessity or something of value that you can withhold until the ‘demand’ is met…
