    Accurate. I used Sync for Reddit until they were forced out. I then switched to Sync for Lemmy for the familiar interface, the ease of setup, etc. Sync literally brought me to Lemmy.

    Since then I looked around and still prefer this app. On a side note: why does the UI for Voyager on Android look like some old version of iOS?

    Hate all you want but Sync being popular is a good thing for Lemmy adoption.



  • I know you’re just trolling or whatever, but I’d love to have some reasonable answer to what a non-cowardly response is supposed to be if there is some armed person trying to hurt me or my family. The police response time where I live is 30-45 minutes. I don’t want to shoot someone, I hope I never have to, but if it’s either me or them? Well that’s what makes having guns practical.










  • The way to send the message is to vote third party. Every Republican I talk to tells me it’s a vote for the Democrats and every Democrat I talk to tells me it’s a vote for the Republicans. In reality it’s a message: We want something else. I really feel like Trump’s message in 2016 of draining the swamp had a lot of appeal to people. I live in super red territory and many of the hard core trumpers I have visited with have expressed that our current system is broken and corrupt - they felt like Trump was going to be at least something different. It’s a powerful message, unfortunately it’s Trump and therefore unconscionable to vote for him.

    We need to legitimize and destigmatize multiple options beyond the two terrible parties.




  • The Sun Does Shine - I was a supporter of the death penalty until I read this book. It totally rocked my world and I realized how totally wrong I was. There are evil people in this world, but I am not God and I don’t get to decide who lives and dies. Also, if there is even a small chance that someone was wrongly convicted, we can not kill them - we make ourselves murderers.

    Really this book made me rethink my entire view on systematic racism, the prison system, and the death penalty.
