Bingo.
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, but you can bust skulls over the rank hypocracy of the tech CEOs.

Because they're voicing their opinions on social media, not at the dinner table.
PMs are always technically appointed, but are chosen based on a vote by Members of Parliament. But also we just kicked off a general election yesterday, so *shrug*.
What makes you think he thinks Trump is going to call him? He was just asked a question by the press.
Probably 2, 6, or 7. I've always loved the V5/V7, but the liquid ink is messy, a bic is a classic for a reason, and the PaperMate flair has been my go-to felt-tip for a long time now. Though, the ultra-fine version is much better for writing than the medium one.
Content aggregators are not forums. Just having categories doesn't really cover it. CAs are designed so that old posts fall away quickly, so that people will keep posting new top level content and keep people emgaged in the constant scroll, much like Twitter or Facebook. They are largely unstructured, with different "categories" behaving quasi-independently from one another.
Forums are structured spaces where the same people post stuff to the same categories, that are mostly offshoots of the forum's core theme.
People interact with and behave rather differently in these different contexts.
It's harder to see on a large Lemmy instance like LW, but most of the fediverse is very patchwork. The network of Lemmy sites is itself very patchwork, with the MLs, Hexbear, Beehaw, NSFW, etc. all having different defederation profiles, but the whole space is an incomplete mesh. Mastodon has more themed instances than Lemmy, more very small instances than Lemmy, and a much bigger anti-capital, anti-commerce bent than Lemmy, with many more people complaining on main about other instances rules and federation policies, so if you look, you can really see it.
But the whole fedi project is patchwork by nature.
Most of these communuties using Discord are better served by something that isn't a chatroom. So, so, so confusingly many of them use them as a store of permanent information. Like a website+forum.
Many times the benefit of Discord is the ability to paywall parts of it with Patreon integration. We need more foss and federated options that do this.
Well, I hope this quote is spread far and wide in all channels.
Established users, too. I'm still active on Reddit, just much less so than I used to be. And a lot of the biggest promoters of the Fediverse are still active there, doing what they can to promote Lemmy- and Mastodon-based sites.
