So, while there’s no green, I think it’d be interesting to consider what’s going on in the yellow places. Its likely those areas are close to parity even if male suicide is (marginally?) higher.

Particularly India and China.

Edit: just India, China is on the higher end after looking into the actual numbers. Also, Grenada should show up as green on this map, but the creator chose to not include it. Admittedly, it wasn’t the only lesser Antilles island that was nixed so I’m not going to immediately call bias.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure most of the money Trump fundraised was from “new converts” of people that never voted until Trump entered politics. And those people are probably tapped out now or disillusioned

The Republican party has long been funded by big donors for so long that the individual member has a deep distrust in individual donations. At the very least, I know my parents are in that boat: they think it’s a scam.

In my opinion, considering Tiktok’s algo they had the best circumstance to notify a mix of their users more aligned with the actual electorate. The fact they ended up with the worst representation of their user base when it came to confirming the suspicions of politicians says everything.

From what I read, the calls actually evaporated opposition to the bill.

Which, I’m NGL, if you’re worried about an app being used by a foreign adversary to encourage anti-social behavior in your youth, a bunch of people calling in acting like drug addicts getting their drugs taken away is only going to erase doubts.

It doesn’t help that they’d even be more justified when it’s known that it was caused by users getting pushed notified by Tik Tok to do it.

You’d think that, but humans can be weird with what actually causes introspection.

The hospital thing they just took the official line for. They actually mocked Aaron, or were actually grateful he took his own life thinking he was a disturbed individual.

I feel like it was that gunning down incident with the humanitarian aid that ultimately tipped the scales.

I know I’ve been going on defense for Israel a lot recently, but I am kinda playing messenger boy as a neutral for being both here and some pro-Israel groups. The Michigan vote didn’t really phase them, that incident did. Seen them even sharing more info about how ridiculously strict Bibi is with aid in general.

Yeah, it helps that’s what my initial prep was: migrating over to discord for niches. It doesn’t hit all the marks you mentioned, but it’s good enough for me (for now, it’s probably gonna have its true enshittening moment too but it’s still usable for me at least).

Making the final move here was for the news aggregation with some community discovery, and so far it feels like it’s adequate here too.

I stayed awhile longer, but prepped for the worse that came yesterday.

Honestly, I think it did impact the content objectively for the worse. Now that I’m fully moved into Lemmy I’m recognizing that a bunch of subreddits basically declined into irrelevance after the blackout (and I’m only remembering them as I try to recreate my subscription list here).

And it kinda affected the vibe of the front page. As of now, I’d describe current reddit as very meta-naval gazing. So many of the posts are basically rival subreddits going “nuh-uh” and “yuh-huh” to each other. There may also be a new algo in use that’s basically encouraging fights between subreddits?

Edit: I should clarify, I think there’s objectively less actual content with now the literal same content being posted multiple times but with different takes on it.
