Ok whew, we are truly almost back to the 1890's, Trumpublicans apparently favored era of America.

19th Ammendment was passed back in... 1920.

Basically this undoes women's suffrage, so married women either just can't vote, or will face massive uneccesarry hurdles voting.

And of course transfolk as well, they're now pretty much ~~formerly~~ formally (ducking autocorrect) disenfranchised.

I wonder, do we have bootleggers (smugglers) for abortifacients, birth control, horomone therapy drugs yet?

I guess that'll be the 'growth market'.

Framing the Overton Window.

A feature for some, an anti-feature for others.

I mean, makes sense, Hitler is one of Trump's favorite authors.

No, I am not being hyperbolic.

https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8?op=1

Trump kept a collection of Hitler's speechs from the 1930s in his nighstand table, and would read from it before going to bed in the 80s and 90s.

When asked about this,

" 'Trump hesitated' and then said, 'Who told you that?' "

"Symbolic" tariffs.

Yet again, the fascists keep enacting the most post-modern 'policies' ever, yet will vigorously argue that post-modernism is evil.

Oh goodie, thats wonderful news for the 401k havers, rofl.

I believe you.

... so we now have fractal, simultaneously compounding and also decohering layers of irony.

The irony factor now has an imaginary, unreal component rofl.

Oh lord.

i apparently cannot figure out ascii shrugs, nvm

I don't know exactly how that post counter ... actually, technically counts posts, but:

1:

Zip going down could have uncounted all posts anywhere made by zip accounts.

2:

There could have been some kind of... propogating post count negation effect, as various other instances reacted differently to zip users posts on their instances could not pull them anymore, on different time scales.

3:

If a zip user had a ... top level comment, on another instance, its possible all lower level comments responding to that comment may also have poofed out of existence, in some respect.

...

I may be misusing some terminology here, and this is just spitballing, but yeah.

Almost all of my .zip account's posts/comments... are not on zip itself, and its possible that that is fairly common amongst .zip users.

Here's the post.

Evidently, Demigodrick has since fixed the problems and successfully upgraded to 0.19.11

EDIT: Alternate explanation: The fediverse tracker has fallen victim to Trump Tariffs as well rofl.

It may have been lemmy.zip

It did in fact go down for about 48 hours... prompting me to make this new account on dbzer0.

Basically, the admin attempted to update to a newer lemmy version... and it failed, multiple times, and they just rolled back, restored the old version, posted an explanation and apology, and they'll be further looking into ... exactly what went wrong.

Ah, ok, I appreciate the correction!

Doing my best trying to remember my course work from almost two decades ago, looks like I missed an important detail.

... and that detail makes the situation... even worse, wonderful.

Hey.

HEY!

There are a lot of penguins on some godforsaken island in the middle of nowhere that need to be bombed until they understand democracy and freedom.
