I access lemmy through Firefox, and I just have bookmarks for all of my accounts and have whichever ones I'm using the most pinned. Switching from one to another is just a matter of clicking a link.

I don't know of any way to combine everything into one feed, though I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of the apps will do it. That's exactly the opposite of what I value though - I don't want just one feed - I want whichever feed I happen to be in the mood for at the moment.

Ah - I get a chance to preach.

I think it makes a lot of sense, and I've been trying to convince people of that since I've been here. It costs nothing and provides benefits, and what more could anyone want?

When I first came to Lemmy, I couldn't figure out any reason to pick one specific instance, and I finally decided that the only way to know if it mattered was to create multiple accounts and compare them. So I did.

I sort of intended to eventually settle on one, but as it turned out, I never really did, and in fact have added a number of accounts since.

The first and most notable thing I discovered is that every instance is different. Unsurprisingly, specialty instances like ani.social and literature.cafe are different from the general instances, but even the general instances differ from each other just depending on which other instances they're federated with and which communities they carry.

I default to All on most instances, and All on lemm.ee, for instance, is significantly different from All on Sopuli, or from All on dbzer0, or from All on Beehaw, and so on. So I can effectively tailor my experience simply by using different accounts.

I generally have about three general accounts that I cycle between, with another few specialty ones - either specialized by topic, like ani.social, or specialized by bias, like .ml. I find that's enough so that pretty much no matter what I'm in the mood for, I have an account that fits.

Additionally, from a more simple practical perspective, instances change over time, and are sometimes shut down entirely. That's never directly affected my experience, since I always have other accounts. So for instance, when .world started to decline, I just stopped using it, and when lemmy.ninja shut down (RIP), I just spent more time on other instances. And as new instances pop up, or just come to my attention, I just make an account, then take them for a test drive and see what I think. I've discovered a number of good instances that way.

So... yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense and it's pretty much effortless and entirely free, so there's no reason not to do it.

Trump murdered those people.

Unwords.

"Considering sanctions" means "We've gotten some blowback from Republicans so we're going to pretend that we care but then not actually do anything because really we don't."

Deliberately.

The long-term goal is to make housing even less affordable, then criminalize homelessness, so that poor people can be fed into the prison-for-profit system and made into slaves.

My presumption is that the goal is to establish one homogeneously plutocratic and oligarchic landmass, broken up only by the Bering Strait, running all the way from Florida to Eastern Europe.

As if it wasn't bad enough that the Democrats were being passively complicit in Trump's fascist coup d'etat, now they're being actively complicit in it.

It's worth noting that they're never talking about actual privatization, which is when a thing that was formerly a government service is turned over to private enterprise, but a grotesquely inefficient hybrid system in which the service is still funded by the government, and the only thing that changes is that rather than the budget being turned over to a government agency, it's turned over to whichever private contractor offers the best bribe and kickback package.

Trump 2.0 is pay-to-win.

America in the 21st century - the Republicans are dismantling the government in order to make it even easier for the 1% to loot and pillage without consequence, and the Democrats are debating maybe disrupting a speech.

I hate to be the one to piss in the punch bowl here, but the only reason that they did this is because it in fact didn't require any spine at all.

Whether or not trans women play women's sports is an issue that has no effect at all on the fortunes of corporations and billionaires, so none of the soft money the Democrats receive has been contingent on them ensuring that trans women were banned, so they were free to oppose it, and did. And that's it.
