Apologies if this is the wrong place for this. A few subs opened up and were discussing the possibility of extending the blackouts. The majority wanted the blackout to end to keep the influx of content. That was to be expected.

There was a disturbing tone in some of the messages though. It was a form of cynicism essentially backing Reddit to do whatever it wanted to the devs, and that it was wrong to protest the rule changes as we should be okay with whatever Reddit wanted. It was almost like learned helplessness. I genuinely found it to be disturbing. Is anyone else noticing this in their communities/subs?

Most people on reddit are American, and from what I've seen of the people in that country, 90% are bootlickers and the remaining 10% escape to better countries

I implore you to rethink your usage of wide sweeping generalizations for the sake of an argument that fits your opinion. If we don't want Lemmy to turn into a negative cesspit like reddit we gotta focus on civil discussion instead of 'enrage to engage'.

This is my favorite post.

... The people who don't leave the country are poor, who exactly do you think the boot is stepping on?

Not even "are poor", just "aren't rich." Immigrating is expensive, both in actual costs and in loss of stability.

I'm disabled, no country will have me. I'm stuck in the US for good even though I hate it.
