It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

      I’m directly affected by Trump, but I think the decline started decades ago. We’re just at the hoverbike stage now.

        The decline started in the late 70s. Like 80% of everything wrong in US politics can be traced back to Reagan.

          The Democrats were well and truly captured by the corporate plutocracy at that point, by decades.

      404 edit: ok if you include the /c/ only lemmy instances can follow it

      Relative links are a minefield because sometimes ! works and sometimes it federates a direct link that is worthless

      [email protected] should work on any fediverse platform.

      Thanks, subbed! This is focused on Trump though, and I don’t think the decline started with or ends with his presence.

      Connect (Android app), interprets the first link as a(n inexistent) user profile; alternate one works perfectly.

        Interesting. The first one (which actually points to /c/[email protected] ) works fine for me in Voyager.

        Good to know, so thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like the second format is the more universally accepted one.
