Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same? (discuss.online)

By culture, I mean mannerisms, references and key words and phrases (like madlad, woosh, etc)

3M respirator, milk of magnesia, a first aid kit

deployment of force can sometimes be used against you, in specific situations. please be prepared even if you don't think its gonna be today.

Preparing for the worst is not a bad idea. If the situation turned sour, I'd love to be in a big group of people prepared for that. But if I did show up like that, I would've been 1 of a small handful with that level of preparedness. It wouldn't have mattered. By far, the most important thing for these protests to be successful is for people to show up in huge numbers. If people feel like they need to be ready for war, they won't show up and the protest won't be as impactful. I'd rather have 10s of thousands showing up in funny costumes carrying instruments and noisemakers than a couple hundred with gas masks.

putting basic countermeasures for basic aggression in your backpack is not that hard. keeping your phone off isnt either.

the more successfull you are over time, the more aggressive they will get. this is a universal fact.
