Voat actually used to be pretty decent, albeit with a very definite hard right leaning attitude. I went there when Reddit started to become the Democratic People's Republic of Reddit.

There was supposedly a DDOS attack over a post that cause puttitout (the owner/admin) to lock everything behind a login wall, and it started to go toxic hard right.

After a while I noticed even the normal stuff that showed up there was gone, and no one needs that much hate without any reason to explain it.

@SandiaMesa @realcaseyrollins There's also notabug.io, a (supposed) decentralized reddit-like that uses the old-but-not-really-old reddit frontend.
@realcaseyrollins @trf But the anal blue pills the media offers are sweet and addictive.
I just wanna go to the library and read

BTW all you wackos screeching (All cops are bad):

I double-dare you to never call 9-1-1 in your life.

What is the #CantillonEffect?

Its pretty simple. Those with first dibs on the newly-minted #cash get all the benefits.
So if I'm a #CEO with a #banker mate at the #Fed (aka #FederalReserve, a private entity) and they type some new #money into my bank account, I'll get the full benefit of that money.

As I spend it, the #inflation effect debases the currency's value and #assets simply go up in #price.

The #saver suffers.

Survey time! On what platform(s) do you use LibreOffice?

Uber driver told me he's not wearing a mask anymore because a policeman told him it's illegal because they can't recognize you when you're speeding

protest communication tool 

@realcaseyrollins @thraeryn IMO, yes. But Riot is more attractive than most #XMPP clients, so it may be as good. There's a couple of gotchas either way: users have to be in encrypted mode in one to one or specially created small multiuser chats. A big, public room--or an older one--may be unencrypted.
