Social media by level of average user's resistance:

Facebook: "Guess I heard something but my grandson says it's fine."

X: : racist bot tries to sell you NFTs:

LinkedIN: "Join my webinar on realigning corporate priorities to achieve synergies and maximize shareholder value."

Bluesky: "everything is terrible and we're all going to die... but what can you do"

Fediverse: I'M JUST GONNA PERSONALLY MIRROR THE CDCs WEBSITE SO PEOPLE CAN KEEP USING IT.

@susankayequinn @thekitmalone I must say, from outside USA and reading those bluesky posts, I can't stop myself from thinking on this meme from an episode of the Simpsons about Ned Flanders parents.

@AnaVinuela you also really can't judge what's going on in the US by the visible protests — every serious person I know has gone to ground, working local, things you will NEVER see on the news

@susankayequinn @thekitmalone that's totally fair.

The problem then is that the only visible thing is whatever the crazies are doing, so it looks like it's just people complaining without doing much. I must admit I have had disconnected a bit from the news in USA because it's just too much, and I'm an ocean away... Must be hard there.

@AnaVinuela it is incredibly hard/demoralizing/insanity-inducing rn

I also think Trumps would be happy to turn the military on the people

The people I see protesting are those who haven't updated their understanding to what's really going on — Trump DNGAF about your protests, would be happy to arrest you, what you need to do is hold the line where you are, sabotage the dismantling of the entire country's infrastructure, build communities of care for the fallout...
