I had a Nexus 10 they abandoned after two years. Made me never want to spend money on an android tablet again. Honestly I would probably switch to iOS if I could have ad blockers.

Yeah I think iPad's are clearly better than any android tablet.

Don't you think people will switch from threads to Mastodon? I think there are allot of people who would rather not have Meta's app installed on their phone.

Isn't threads a Twitter clone? Will it even effect Lemmy? For me personally I don't use Mastodon, but I might if threads is successful. I use Twitter to follow famous people I like. If famous people move to the fediverse because of threads that will only make sites like Mastodon better in my opinion.

Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.

I embrace the downvotes. Sometimes the unpopular opinion happens to be right.

Taxation was the main reason for the war. Britain had levied some new taxes to recoup the cost of the French and Indian war. It put a significant strain on the economy.

I think most revolutions just lead to a new ruling class that is just as bad as the old. It didn't take Stalin long to become just as bad as the Czar. After fighting a war to stop taxation from Britain, one of the first things Washington did was put down a rebellion to enforce a federal tax on whiskey.

You don't need a college degree to work in the trades. This is a point of contention because I've heard people say many times they don't want their tax dollars going towards someone's liberal arts degree. I'm a wastewater operator. I have a degree but allot of the people I work with don't.

Or just force all Louisiana onto a server not hosted in US. What could they do?
