I will quote George Washington to explain the why: “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

4·1 year ago12 years for my primary account, 11 years for my “other” one. Like many at the time, came over during the Digg meltdown. Just before the API went to paid, used a tool to delete my 15,000+ posts/comments. Deleted both accounts in early July. Used Teddit a bit to still follow one or two subreddits, but now that has stopped working. Unless it pops up in a search, I doubt I will ever visit again. RIP.

ROFL. Or I could just continue to pay £0.00 and not watch the BBC’s biased BS.
Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
Ok, fine, clearly good news. But PM Sir Starmer . . . just a red Tory.
FFS Japan . . stop this noise. Do the hard (and right) thing and go fix your grid. Yes, you got rather screwed post war. Deal with it - and sort it out.
