It was one of the first to make voice chat really really easy for gamers. Yes vent and ts existed before, but discord made it soooo easy and had integrated irc-style chat
I mean, the guy is 30 years past his prime. What's crazy is that no other pop stars are making songs about this. Back in the day we had "4 dead in ohio" and "bloody sunday" and countless others ... where are the revolutionary songs these days?
This is the issue with fediverse in general: lack of content. I'm sure people can figure out how to join ... it's not any more complicated than joining Bluesky, and that has exploded in growth. Why? Because everybody is on there.
Tiktok was THE platform for pro-gaza content and solidarity. Leaks from Congress proves this. It's a shell of what it once was now that the US oligarchs are in control of it and have turned it into their right wing spyware platform.
Everything, everywhere apparently is infiltrated if all accusations are to be believed. Maybe it's true. I'd rather organize irl and get shit done than argue online about what might be or not be infiltrated.
Obama funded ICE and built the concentration camps, while bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
Then Trump exploits and uses ICE, while Dems continue to fund it. Trump is mask off unhinged Capitalism, Obama was "polite" mask on Capitalism. Neither serve you. Neither improved material conditions for the working class.
Edit: also Kamala ran on empowering ICE, and bragged about a stronger border than Trump even wanted. Wtf are even talking about. Democrats enable Republicans. Always. They are the other side of the same capitalists coin that does not serve you whatsoever.
I just deleted my account from 2015. Fuck em.
