I‘m a piracy fan and I‘m on dbzer0 instance as it‘s an offshoot of r/piracy. I barely post and lurk more, so I don‘t really know how they‘d moderate on the Luigi situation. The owner seems to be an anarchist and historically anarchist action wasn‘t all peaceful, most anarchists seem to support a "diversity of tactics" one of which is violence. Which makes sense to me, it’s like self defense cause what Americans are dealing with here is structural violence and what looks like zero hope for change.

Any of you see this yet? Apparently his last words, but it sounds fake - too many spelling errors.

Any of you see the other one on Unabomber manifesto? Was up on Reddit for a while, but got removed for "call to violence".

In line and on display to motivate the near-homeless working class to keep going to their three jobs to stay afloat.

What I saw online (take with grain of salt) is UHC has 29,000,000 customers, and a 32% denial rate (the highest in the industry), so that gives us a possible 9,280,000 people denied if there were 1 claim per person a year.

That is obviously super rough guess, cause not every customer makes a claim a year, some may make none and some multiple for the same thing that could repeatedly get denied.

On Anna‘s Archive Front Page there is a book "Against Intellectual Monopoly", I think it would give you an interesting perspective to consider too.

I‘m committed to decentralized social media, so for now that’s this and kbin yeah.

I hope though that eventually a better UI in some app can help with your disability, being physically ill doesn‘t sound like a good time at all.

I don‘t even think it‘s worth it for me to go and vote, just gives spez a click he doesn‘t deserve. Maybe best for me to leave it up to those who still give a shit about Reddit to decide what they want to do with their platform. As long as this instance is up, I‘m good! Ty db0!

Completely so nobody ever does it? No, there is no way. Though I think the goal is set more realistically like that to make it inconvenient and push it out of the mainstream as much as they can, which seems to be going alright.

I don’t have a car or family so I always hire someone as well, though you gotta be careful, around where I am scammers exist.

A reputable company you can tell by that they send someone over looking at all your stuff and details where you are moving to and then give you a quote. Which you can then accept or not and will not suddenly change. They also give you boxes in advance usually and if they destroy anything you get paid by their insurance.

Scammers instead come take all your stuff and then hold it hostage until you pay overpriced amounts. They are found at the Google Ads, luckily it didn‘t happen to me, but I know someone so I am extra careful.

I always take a move as a chance to rid myself of some burdens too, cause the more stuff you have to transport the more expensive.

I‘ve got one account on lemmy.ml and connect to beehaw through that but one of the first posts I saw there was a discussion on defederating from it cause the mods are tankies. It reminds me of Reddit already haha.

But yeah good advice, seems like choosing main instance is an important part of what experience one has in the fediverse.
