That’s how subscription services get you. Why buy DVDs when you can stream all day long on Netflix? Suddenly, DVDs are no longer for sale and streaming services take down content for one reason or another. Then you have no other legal alternative but to pay whatever they ask, be shown whatever they want and continue to own none of it.

My example was about how people get together to make revolutions happen, not wether they were good/bad or what ended up happening after. I chose those examples because in both cases a revolt was long time coming but people couldn’t do it until they were organised

Look at history. You need a tipping point, but more importantly, you need organised masses and a vision/visionary to get behind.

That’s how Lenin got in power. It’s how the French decapitated their king. That’s why there was a rally at the White house when trump lost the previous election but nobody is doing anything against him now at the states while he dismantles the country.

You can follow the sub just like you would on Reddit. The exact placement of things may vary depending on which client/app you use, if on mobile, but there should be an option to subscribe somewhere on the community page or in the menu of one of the posts from here.

You will then find your home or local feed where only what you follow will appear.

I’d much prefer not having said grifters, thankyouverymuch

The instances are structured much like discord, in that you have a separate server for topics/communities. Think of them as servers that can talk to each other. Instead of subreddits you have this.

Regarding Reddit (US company), well, depending on your values and political views, you might see the need and have the desire to not depend on/support the platform.

In what way exactly is the current administration better?
