You made my eye twitch.
Like when everyone pivoted away from gas stations that play ads on the screens? People will keep buying their emotional support SUVs, they don't care.
Voters that chose to stay home are functionally the same as Trump supporters. They chose this.
Here's my (admittedly hotheaded) Canadian perspective.
Germans, as a baseline, don't dominate online culture. Everywhere I look on the internet, I'm reading about Americans. It never stops. I have to constantly filter through American politics, drama, and celebrity news. It feels like we are finally moving away from American-centricity and having discussions about how living at the whims of this superpower is negatively affecting us.
Americans butt in on this and give their takes on it and man... I just don't care. Their country collectively chose this. My career and ability to provide for my family is seriously at risk because 90 MILLION of them couldn't be bothered to vote.
For this one, single discussion, just this one time, please, butt out.
Are you suggesting Trump is coming to take our chickens?
The Galadriel quote tells me things will be in good hands.
Less than half, that actually surprises me. I honestly assume most people I meet online are Yanks.
More snow than I've seen all winter in western Canada.
I've put in for a midwest.social account, too. Thanks.
I'd like to leave this up for at least a full 24 hours so that people have a chance to chime in, but this does seem to be the general consensus. I've gone ahead and added you as a mod. Thank you for volunteering!
Thanks, Blaze. Its not ideal but life never is. She's tough, I'm confident she'll be okay.
I appreciate your perspective. Thank you.
Addressing the recent drama
TLDR?
There has been some drama here on midwest.social, and those troubled by it have made a sister community at [email protected]. I'm looking for your input on how to move forward.
Where have you been?
This started unfolding at the end of 2024, unfortunately along with a pretty scary decline in my partner's health, which has resulted in Lemmy taking a backseat in my life. This is ongoing, and highlights the immediate issue of [email protected] being largely unmoderated, which I'll address below.
What exactly happened?
It feels irresponsible for me to give my own take on something that happened in my absence, but here's a timeline as I understand it:
- Luigi shoots a CEO.
- User A comments something to the effect of "someone please kill this other person" on a midwest.social community.
- User B reports the comment.
- Admin at midwest.social bans User B for being a "Libbety lib lib."
- Users start moving away from midwest.social.
- A new LOTR Memes c

A hummingbird stopped by while I was shooting a sparrow
A very cool moment. I don't know much about hummingbirds, but my best guess is Anna's? Near Vancouver, BC.
I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping
I've been dailying the same Mint install since I gave up on Windows a few years ago. When I was choosing a distro, a lot of people were saying that I should start with Mint and "move on to something else" once I got comfortable with the OS.
I'm comfortable now, but I don't really see any reason to move on. What would the benefits be of jumping to something else? Mint has great documentation and an active community that has answers to any questions I've ever had, and I'm reluctant to ditch that. On the other hand, when I scroll through forums, Distro Hopping seems to be such a big part of the "Linux experience."
What am I missing?
My co-pilot, Bentley

I miss the old Kanye. Looking for recs.
I don't want to get into a whole argument about him here, so I'll just say that I'm having a harder time separating the art from the artist and am taking it as an opportunity to expand my horizons.
I love that his music feels larger than life. Genuinely interesting beats with way more creativity than 90% of the other stuff I hear. The big echoing choir vocals get me every single time. Honestly, I miss listening to him more as a producer than a rapper.
Who else can I check out that might scratch that itch?
Looking for a simple video editor
All I need is something to trim time off the ends of a video and knock it from 1080p down to 720p.
River Hobbits now available!
Looks like the bundles are priced at 8995LP, 2995LP, and 1595LP.
I do really like the Superior cosmetic outfits, but I don't know if I 9000LP-like them. What are your thoughts?
We found a mantis while camping tonight!
Southwestern BC, Canada. We think he's a European mantis.
