If they ever secure power my fate is basically sealed. I’ve accepted that. It’s not slippery slope to be clear eyed about reality.
Well, I'm not sure which out-group you're a part of to conclude this. I don't think things are that bleak. For most of the out-groups being targeted, a coalition exists in the urban areas where they'll at least be tolerated. A bastion of progressives or people with common identities to rally around. It's hard to imagine places like NYC, LA, etc. otherwise.
But this is why I hate politics. Everyone who organizes, screws around with power. I don't believe there's any "side" that will stand with me in a time of need, or any group to rally around. The only people who will stand for my interests is myself and the few people I can persuade. If you're this alone, the only thing you can really do is try not draw attention. Don't even bother voting.

I tried my best to one-up GPT-4chan in terms of toxicity. With my meager programming skills, I managed to parse comment-response pairs from Reddit's API data archive. The most toxic subreddits all there on pushshift. Then I fine-tuned the model using a rented GPU, and it cost me 7 USD total.
I made an angry feminist bot- the funny thing about it is that you won't get banned for it on most forums because its so toxic without breaking any rules and it's hard to tell that it's a bot. DM me if you want to try it out.

I was posting on other instances (lemmy.world) and checked their modlog to make sure I'm not banned or defederated. Know most people here probably just follow Monero news, so it's fine if it's better to for me to just make an account on a larger instance. Anyways, it's been a while since I've seen a meta discussion. How have you all been this year, and what do you all think of the fediverse from these past six months?
Most people access the Fediverse through one of the large instances: lemmy.world, kbin, or beehaw. New or small instances of Lemmy have no content by default, and can most easily get content by linking to larger Lemmy instances. This is done manually one "Community" at a time (I spent 15 minutes doing this yesterday). Meanwhile, on larger instances, content naturally aggregates as a result of the sheer number of users. Because people generally want a user experience similar to Reddit, I think it's inevitable that most user activity will be concentrated in one or two instances. It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats. I actually think the Fediverse is in the beginning the process of fragmenting into siloed smaller, centralized instances. Beehaw, which is on the list of top instances, just blacklisted everyone from lemmy.world. Each of the three largest instances now are working to be a standalone replacement for Reddit and are in direct competition with each other. It is possible that this fragmentation and instability? of Lemmy instances will kill the viability of Federated Reddit altogether, but hopefully not. These are my main takeaways from my three days on the Fediverse. I will stick around to see if the Fediverse can sustain itself after the end of the Reddit blackouts.
Yo, sup! I have some quick questions about Federation and Lemmy. 1. How are the comments that I make on other instances stored? Are they stored on the monero.town instance, and only accessible to other instances when they connect to monero.town? 2. If so, does that mean that the rules for this instance apply across all the lemmy instances I interact with (because all my comments end up getting hosted on this instance)?
