I think Stacey Abrams showed how. Registration, voter education, and get out the vote drives can tip the odds. It takes a hell of a lot to overcome suppression but a sustained campaign over years can make progress. She didn't oust Kemp, but she helped push the senate races over the line!

Frosthaven scenario in progress :D Sadly I can't get the whole room in one shot, just imagine a couple more shelves like that on the other side. TTRPG shelves are in another room, though honestly half the D&D books have migrated to a reference stack next to my desk as campaigns go on.

How does gerrymandering figure in? And courts packed with political appointees? I truly hope you're right but I think we have a harder fight than any sane country should to stem the fascist tides

Honestly this is one of the best tech launches I can remember. I've seen billion $ companies try to launch a new product and drop the ball so hard. Slowness that was corrected in a day, and minor glitches? The team has done incredible work. I can't wait to see what this place looks like in 6 months.

In response to Faith Achiaa.
Yep I'm seeing that too. Wonder what's up with that. I haven't seen anything from official accounts saying the date has moved, but if there's a concern over capacity they might have pushed it a couple of days to add equipment, who knows.

It seems like fascists love having their hypocrisy pointed out because it makes them giggle. They get to show off how powerful they are that it doesn't matter, how blatant their gaslighting, how easy the cruelty. We need to focus on attacking the root, their bad faith lies and harmful actions.

They've said app is coming, and last I heard it was something like six weeks estimated? No app yet but hopefully won't be long!

Alien concept after wading through the cesspools of Facebook and Twitter! I'm excited to see if they can keep up against the trolls after tomorrow

Right? I suspect we'll see some changes tomorrow, but I don't think it'll ever end up as bad as Twitter. At least as long as they keep up with active moderation and preventing misinformation/harassment

Short answer is it's the Bot Sentinel rating. It's a calculation of how problematic the account is. The higher the number the more harassment, trolling, abuse, or bot behavior was detected. Here's some shots from the buzzard app where he explains it a bit

My comfort tv tends to be lighter comedy that tends to be smartly written even if they're kind of dumb like Star Trek Lower Decks, Brooklyn 99, We Are Lady Parts, Girls5Eva, etc. I also adore Leverage & Leverage Redemption,nothing like smart people serving up steaming hot comeuppance by the bowlful.

Honestly? I'm amazed how well the launch has gone. Minor glitches, slow speed for two days, and one unused port found and patched? This is the dream launch of many a tech giant

It's worse than that, because Republican leadership was briefed on that exactly. The fact that they still kept screeching about it means they WANT the wreckage to kill an American so they can use that for political gain.

In response to PS Annie.
Given the Republican reaction, I have to assume the goal was to antagonize the Right and give them another tool to attack America. China doesn't need balloons, they have satellites! So whatever is going on, the result is Biden having to defend from a new insane conspiracy theory.

It's reminding me of the magical thinking that drives "but I already voted last time" and "this solution doesn't fix 100% of the problem so let's not try". This is an extremely good tech launch, and give it a couple of months and it's going to be a top tier app to rival the biggest platforms.

100%. I've worked in software dev for years I honestly didn't expect it to go this well. Tech launches almost NEVER go this well. I've seen multi billion dollar companies drop the ball so hard it may as well be at the bottom the sea. By comparison Spoutible has had an _incredibly_ successful launch.

I'm torn here. On the one hand SURELY no one can be this stupid so it feels like he's been paid to break it permanently. On the other hand he's quite clearly a wealthy narcissist who is missing his handlers and there's basically no decision too dumb for that combination. 🤷♀️
