minus-squareSuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18arrow-down22·9 months ago POTUS puts the ‘fed’ in ‘fediverse.’ Thanks I hate it. Also too bad that the White House has joined Meta, specifically, rather than the decentralized Fediverse, but libs gonna lib.

minus-squareBirdEnjoyer@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoI mean more in the broad sense- to hope that there’s going to be any action at all towards something one personally likes. My standards are pretty low I guess.
