oh god… so i worked at one of these during hs/college. one black history month they had a section for ‘black history month.’ no bullshit, they had cotton balls, watermelon, fried chicken. i immediately mentioned it to a black co-worker.

his response, ‘yo wtf. that’s fucked up… but that’s a really good price for chicken’

the company eventually apologized.

@MindfulMaverick

a mix of ground.news, snopes (although they seem less reliable after their sale), looking for sources to the claim (white papers), and or seeing if i know anyone with insight (their field).

and even then being cognizant and open for nee details… i’m aware there is probably some bias and or some propaganda to sort through.

godspeed

@TehBamski i don’t know why this is enjoyable to me.

@alyaza switched to qobuz a few months ago and havent looked back

@Sunshine y’all asking to help, please look into funding/helping dev work… seems like there are fundamental issues with friendica and how it can’t handle some things…like lemmy. it overwhelms it with all the data points as it was intended for smaller groups not large communities… seems to like exponentially creates data…but i’m not a dev so …maybe talking some point wrong. but regardless, i love friendica and would love for this issue to be resolved…
