       @herid @dmnelson If I take my own example: Switched to Mastodon a while ago. Stayed on Twittert, because I am occasionally interested in the news of the local fire department / police. Had proven to be good sources of non-sensationalized local news. But the way the 3rd party clients have been shut down has now been the straw that broke the camel's back. Twitter account is shut down. Who wants my attention, must be active on Mastodon ...

       @herid @dmnelson So my Mastodon account is not a 1:1 replacement for Twitter, but my feed is already much more interesting and especially diverse than my Twitter feed ever was. Sometimes a housecleaning is useful ... and @donmelton of course. He skews the experience here into the positive 😇

       @Popehat @Catawu Swastika 1923 or 1945? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_PutschIs a state in which a relevant amount of the population is radicalized basically defenseless? Interesting perspective. Thus, the Third Reich was simply inevitable and the whole discussion about a special German responsibility is invalid.

       @Popehat @Catawu At what point is resistance appropriate? What criteria do you think must be met?

       @Popehat @Catawu An important difference. I don't have a good answer to my own question. Moreover, qualifying all GOP voters as fascist is surely wrong. Except that not all NSDAP voters were convinced fascists in 1933 either. They just gave it the votes it needed to eliminate democracy.The similarities to the situation in Germany before 1933 are nevertheless disturbing.

       @Teri_Kanefield Rupert Murdoch as a modern-day Alfred Hugenberg. And apparently Murdoch believes he can ride the beast. Because that worked so well for other fascists.And I think the lies serve to destroy trust in democratic institutions. That is intentional and not a side effect.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hugenberg
