And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. — Freidrich Nietzsce

Seems no one from Lemmy Shitpost can enter or be in the vicinity, we would be kicked out…

You have become one with fame!

Here is 1 money.

Keep fighting the good fight, OP!

I was able to find two additional articles:

1. Russia’s First Transgender Politician Announces Detransition [May 16, 2024 | The Moscow Times] https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/16/russias-first-transgender-politician-announces-detransition-a85136

The Moscow Times is Russia’s leading, independent English-language media outlet. Our team of Russian and English journalists provide readers across the world with breaking news, engaging stories and balanced reporting about the largest country on Earth.

2. Transgender Russian politician says he has detransitioned [Lucy Papachristou and Bernadette Baum | May 16, 2024 | Reuters] https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/transgender-russian-politician-says-he-has-detransitioned-2024-05-16/

Much money, much wow

You are correct, only a few left:

https://status.d420.de/

Reason below:

All Nitter public instances shut down.

There are no public instances left for you to use.

Why ?

Nitter has already been struggling to keep up with the changes Twitter made on their side after 2022.

In January 2024, the Twitter API used by Nitter to fetch data from Twitter got shut down.

Without this, there is no way to run instances on the scale needed for the public instances that got listed here.

That’s unfortunate. But I still want to use Nitter !

If you want to continue running Nitter, you can do so using a normal Twitter account.

Do note however, that this cannot and will not scale, and is in a legal grey-area. Proceed at your own risk.

See here for setting up Nitter if you feel brave enough and don’t fear the command line.

But there are some instances ?

Through he thankless work of some there is a tiny amount of instances left. These will be slow and can not expose RSS to prevent the huge volume bot attacks. The latter one also makes captchas and other anti-botting methods a requirement.

Happens to the best of us!

Enjoy the rewatch!

Thanks for the picture!

Thanks for clarifying and going further into explaining your views to us!

Some people can be seen as being a dreamer[1], I see myself as such a person, I try to stay hopeful, I see it as a much more positive way of living in the world; as well as much healthier for our mental health

Lemmy as a niche platform not one that appeals the masses

Yes, Lemmy is currently a niche platform, but that is how many start off, it takes time and much effort to grow a community.

It is similar to grassroots movements, where people that are leaders or learn to become one are willing to speak with anyone for a cause they feel strongly about, and they start to grow slowly.

I see lemmy in that phase or light, where most activity will be from people that are willing to throw themselves out there and share their favorite hobbies and put in the energy to interact with strangers (whether it may be apositive or negative interaction is another thing).

It takes time for people to come out of their shells and to start being active on forums as well, hopefully in Lemmy we give people that opportunity to grow as people and to take chances to meet and discuss any topic with strangers.

A few dedicated people can’t foster a genuine community out of sheer enthusiasm.

Well, it takes a few to start something new, in my eyes all important causes and projects start with a few people just having fun or putting the time to create something new.

To accomplish anything in life, it will take time and a lot of energy and people willing to do that.

I just don’t personally see that happening.

It is okay to see the world in that way, but just putting a bit of effort into sharing or creating a community that you like, will help improve the community.

Activity would increase, if you create a community or decide to share more of your hobbies and opinions within those communities.

If the communities would be liked by Lemmurs or not, it is another matter, but in the end of the day we all have our own way of seeing the world and we can have discussions with people that are willing to share their views as well.

The only way we can continue to grow as people, is by forcing ourselves to push against our own bias and to keep talking with people that do not think or agree with what we have to say.

Much text to read, here is a Lemmur for a fun pic:

Change is not easy, it takes time and people willing to help foster that new change.

I am one of those people that is really into politics, but I try to interact with other communities once in a while!

It is an election year, so politics is always in an all time high on any forums and social media.

I suggest, if you are willing, to step up your game and be really active in the communites you would like to see flourish.

It may be lonely, but it tends to be when starting new things!

We are all trying the best we can, when we can, I give props to the lemmyverse and fediverse for all they do!

Thanks for posting, even if you used a burner account!

Nice, great to see more communities about shows!

Dozens of people, dozens!

A good amount, a lot of the elite and people with social influence share information, while the people also share news pretty quickly.

I know will enough, some may be false or not confirmed, but helpers are always willing to call it out when they learn and try to share that knowledge with us.

Edit: seperated quote, to make more sense, bottom quote is under image

You are correct:

If you look at the article, it has the following under the image you are talking about:

A man standing next to a pool in a scene from the ‘Top Vine Ice Bucket Challenge’ compilation video on YouTube.

Vine helped the Ice Bucket Challenge — which raised money for ALS — go viral. At its peak, around 200 million people used the app which had Twitter integration. Vines Collections/Youtube

Your post includes a request for more down votes…

I would implore that you reread the comments, I will even quote the ‘request’ section you misunderstood:

I couldn’t have done it alone, it was only possible with the help of many!

This is not and was not meant to be taken as a…, as you put it:

request for more down votes

I was just stating an obvious but truthful event that took place…, in that hot and cold summer evening when the stars were blinking like missles in the sky…being shot down by our tax dollars…but killing 100s of thousands of civilians, where many are small and innocent children…

Again, downvotes or upvotes are not possible with out many people engaging with the comment; it was not meant to be taken as an invite to downvote/upvote, but people are free to do as they please!

Oh, look a person that does not agree or think like I want them to, must be a troll/bot/russian/chinese…

Thanks for link!
