Nailed it. John_McMurray is another joke of an example of someone on the right.

Setting up an app in docker is the easiest option, even more than just simply installing the binary?

This isn’t new. I’ve been running my personal instance since last year using it.

While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn’t go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I’m sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn’t go and burn down the church.

Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you’re willing to pay $$$.

Don’t make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.

I’ve self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.

I might just import these over to my server.

Even if your security oriented it seems many frown upon any self hosting whatsoever.

I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.

Might want to see this: https://lemmy.ca/post/1090349 I can see this becoming a norm over there.

Looks like the upper Midwest might be ok, at least for now.

Droughts in the west are going to end up causing mass migrations once all the water is finally gone, and the extreme heat in the east makes me think if anything people are going to be leaving the USA, probably in our lifetimes.

Good answer and I admire your thinking here. I can think of a few times some long held beliefs got debunked or the original studies or articles were retracted.

I never really understood why people can’t piece together the information that is presented to them instead of just taking things at face value. Is media literacy not taught at all in schools? You can read anything on the internet and use your rational mind (if you are educated so) to filter out the truths. If you can’t verify something just find other sources saying the same thing, at least then perhaps you can work off probabilities/likelihood.

I know many people read on like a 10th grade level, so I guess I see the importance of trust, as those people likely just read headlines and not the content, and definitely don’t analyse.

Not sure what you mean with “reliable.” Non-biased? The articles on, I think all the ones I mentioned, are written by journalists or academics.

And when I say Mainstream I just mean the more well known ones that everyone knows already.

There are other sources besides the big mainstream ones, such as The Walrus, The Tyee, The Conversation, Rabble, Canadian Dimension, and others I’m probably forgetting.
