I don't understand the lemmy but it seems like a big problem with social media platforms are them seemingly acting as a natural monopoly.

Once people are on a specific platform and posting, then even if the platform falls behind or the individuals in power start acting in egregious ways the inertia is enough to keep them going for a very, very long time as the shock of leaving the platform costs an individual user far more than putting up with the stale progress and bad behavior.

Having the 'content' detached and free, accessible to all would seemingly solve this issue. AFAIK lemmy still keeps content proprietary? Just on a decentralized system. Maybe the next step is mandating module[?] transparency for incorporation into the federation.

Or I could be completely wrong and this already happens?

Zionists are no different than white nationalists.

Ethno-fascists don't have a place in the modern world and zionists have been given a pass for way too long. They're not victims, they are perpetrators.

People are too kind to the religious. They need to stop existing.

The younger voters need to band together, take political power then strip all rights and entitlements from the elderly. They've plundered for far too long with no consequence. This is our last chance before they burry themselves with their ill gotten gains and leave us with nothing but active fires.

I would recommend that anyone not recommending this back in 2020 should also be disbarred.

I only superficially agree with this take because of the many cultural implications of marriage. E.G. Kids, housing, money. Decisions that
may carry serious implications and cannot easily be undone should not be rushed into.

With that said, marriage is not a prerequisite to any of these potentially problematic aspects of relationships, which makes the entire idea of the restriction-by-association a bit silly. Especially because it is not placed on 'new' relationships, merely on the the transferring of relationship statuses in a very particular manner.

I think marriage itself is a bit of an antiquated institution that needs a modern re-work to better fit it to societal needs.

I fully support the current marginal waiting periods for marriage licenses because I feel like this minor barrier does not meaningfully inconvenience the vast majority but may prevent cases of abuse or caprice.

TL:DR - Liberalism and guardrails.

Arm yourselves and organize. Politicians aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them.
