I’ve been here for a few years and I’m shocked Reddit is still around.

Everything is relative. I live in Vietnam where tech people make a tiny fraction of what they could make in the US and quality of life would be significantly better despite the risk of dealing with ICE and other barriers.

Sure! I think a lot of people would be interested here.

I want to enjoy Mastodon so much, but I just never see that much discussion. It just feels empty.

I read the post like you at first, but I don’t think he works on the fediverse. I think it was just a poor/unclear sequence of clauses in his post.

I use base. Super straightforward and works perfectly with the rest of my set up. I also use Mullvad VPN (when I need one) and Leta (when I just need a simple search and not for images). Rarely use the browser.

This. Tbh if Biden rolled out this program, I’d probably say it was distasteful, but fine as it’s voluntary. At least it allows individuals to make choices for themselves.

That said, ICE is already kidnapping individuals at their citizenship interview appointments. I hope no one tries it. It’ll probably end up a Trojan Horse.

Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).

It was always Pelosi calling the shots (for better or worse). Schumer was always there as a fundraiser.

Even Fox viewers can’t hide from their credit card balance. At least I hope that’s the case.
