They have no actual policy except for oppression and hatred. That’s pretty much the only thing they’re selling, just existing to hurt people and taxcut the rich.

Not unless we turn her grave into a wastewater treatment facility.

Stagnant wage, ($2800/mo in some places) apartment rent price surpassing the moon and on it’s way to Jupiter and Saturn, inflation + greedflation exceeding 20% in the last few years, and so many more.

"Uh, guys… this is rather concerning… " - Macy’s and Costco.

“You don’t say?” - Everyone else

Here my anecdote, the entire economy in the last few years sent my ENTIRE family into a panic, I am literally setting up a mini-farm that is 100% automated with farm bot to sustain my family (you can check https://farm.bot , everything there is open source and they provide a package for pre-built stuff if you want it.) We literally started working on building a multi-generational housing and getting our power off-grid, because we can easily see a writing on the wall with this economy.

1. Unregulated Stock Market (As much as SEC want to claim otherwise, you could try and hedge your wealth, but I really doubt you can make 20%+ interest a year when combined greedflation and inflation, both of which are misreporting.)
2. Health Insurance cost $600/mo for young folks and $1400/mo for old folks and that with minimal coverage.
3. Water pollution (Oil Fracking)
4. Food Price instability and greed

I could go on and on for all of the problems, if you’re not setting up for off-grid living already, I really wish you the best of luck.

Best analogy for Federated Stuff is to think of it like hosting an email server. You have many different email servers all talk to each others and route one email to the next. That essentially the idea with federated, just more robust and more focused on social aspects.

Essentially on Lemmy server, it can choose to talk to other lemmy servers to get contents, but each Lemmy server could moderate on their own. It’s possible to make a “clone” of a content from another server and you can make a new blank thread on this server even though on other server, there were already ongoing discussion about it.

Federation is right in the middle of peer to peer and central server like Reddit.com, it just server-to-server rather than person-to-person.
