A Sad Day for Filmmaking
We lost one of the realest today,
RIP David Lynch
You left a weird mark on so many of us, and we can never repay you.
Alternative to the Inaugural boycott
Maybe stop virtue signalling about not watching the inaugural. Maybe it's true that we lost cuz we abandoned certain spaces. Maybe Thing 1 on Day 1 shouldn't be to proudly continue to do that.
Let's all go to the nearest sports bar, have some chicken wings and a beer, and take it all in there.

Biden's Farewell Message
President Joe Biden's farewell message is reminiscent of Eisenhower's, in that both warned about a takeover of government by a small cabal of self-interested billionaires.
However, like most things Biden...and I love the guy...he's a little late with his message.
The astounding speed with which the billionaire tech bros and MAGA moron zealots have inserted themselves into the decision-making of the incoming administration is one big difference.
Another difference is that this newer group is into "breaking things," not making things -- except massive profits for themselves.
A third difference is that this group is taking a "whole of government" approach, not just focusing on one department's budget.
Finally, this bunch is introducing us to something worse than an oligarchy. They are bringing us a kakistocracy, rule by the incompetent.
We are in for a rough ride. You can be sure that America's rivals for world leadership will be happy to exploit these transactional idiots. Buckle up. Such a shame. We are becoming Russia, maybe just Hungary, but with the Three Stooges in charge. Sad.

I am vaguely aware of something called Lemmy, which is similar to Reddit, including the inability to delete posts. Why, I don't know. Anyway, I read that it can interact with Friendica. But I'm confused regarding finding forums, joining them, and posting to them. Usually, I go to a website, enter friendica.world, am taken to my homepage, and then authorise the connection. But this seems different. Can anyone help me? Also, I primarily use Tweesecake, not the main site, so I have no idea what the bit about widgets means.

Trying out a new #Fediverse app each day (Day 2)
Today's app is pixelfed.social, a fediverse alternative to Instagram
Pros: I have only been using pixelfed for a couple of days, but with a limit of 20 images and videos per post, it seems to do just about everything I would normally use Instagram for. Content discovery is decent with a Discover feed, but it obviously needs more users.
Cons: The site is a bit slow to load/reload and lacks the ability to "like" or comment on a post without clicking on it to open it into its own page. Oftentimes you must scroll to get to the "like" button and comments.
Overall Score: 5 out of 10, but there is a lot of potential there!

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •@dandylover1 I've been on Lemmy until a few weeks ago. It does allow deleting posts, as I deleted mine. However, there are some caveats:
- There's no batch deletion mechanism like Mastodon has, so the user needs to manually delete every single post and comment.
- The interface won't hide the "post/comment space", it will just replace the previous contents with "deleted by creator" (I guess this is what you meant with "Lemmy doesn't allow deleting posts")
However, it's not like platforms such as Wikipedia and Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow) where content, once accepted and established, can't really get deleted.
