Consider that Germany was in far more dire straits economically, and Hitler's approval was crazy high even towards the end of the war (something like 60 or 70%). So the entire time the opposition was outnumbered.

In comparison, Trump's approval is around 45%.

A good way to find cool communities to subscribe to is searching topics that interest you on lemmyverse.net.

Once you have a good amount of subscriptions, you'll have a pretty good time.

Alternatively, if you diligently block each community from /all that doesn't interest you, the /all page also becomes pretty great to scroll.

I think this is an essential watch for anyone living in the US, as it shows how effective civil disobedience and a general strike is against authoritarian oppression. It also highlights reasons the movement failed, to learn what not to do, or what to improve on.

Alt of [email protected] here (slrpnk admin). As mentioned in the link Faythofdragons provided, the server unexpectantly went down when poVoq went on a work trip, and the failure was unfortunately in a way that requires physical access to fix.

We're using this opportunity to consider a migration to piefed, but if that does not work out, we'll simply continue to run the Lemmy instance. Either way, we will be back! :D

You can follow the progress of the piefed migration here: https://feddit.org/post/13823532

Lemmy.ca also created a secondary piefed instance recently.

TrilliumNext Notes is an excellent open-source alternative to both Notion and Obsidian.

The IWW used to have members pull security to route out planted agent provocateurs that were starting shit in mass strikes or protests. We will need that again.

Cheers for keeping the community alive! :D

I see in your edit that you confused us for a different instance, but I want to mention regardless that Slrpnk.net has 3 active admins, it's not just poVoq (Kris).

Excellent article by Drew, I hope it helps push the needle in the tech sector.
