  We can call it transrealism.

  Of all the reddit replacements, Lemmy has the most staying power because of its federated nature. It’s not dependent on a single source of administration or funding. Voat, for example, went to shit because it ended up full of Nazis that got ran off of reddit and then they ran out of money. While this same fate could potentially befall any individual Lemmy instance, the platform as a whole can react and continue.

  I have thought about emigrating after I get my bachelor’s, but I don’t think I will.

  My family has been here for generations. Why should I have to leave when the reactionaries are the ones that suck? Besides, where would I go? Ultimately, nowhere can guarantee safety from the rise of authoritarianism and climate change.

  Canada and Scandinavia will probably weather climate change alright, but they’ll have instability on their doorstep, especially if mass migration becomes a thing. Iceland? New Zealand? Switzerland? Probably all decent choices, to be honest.

  I could also become a mountain man out a remote northern wilderness, living as self-sufficiently as possible while working remotely via satellite internet. Or, I could stay where I am and try and do as much good as possible, whatever that looks like.

  Five, but I want the 0.9mm and not the 0.7.

  It probably would’ve worked, too, especially if he could’ve put things off until Trump’s return to power.
