  • I mean, hell, if the right wing Dems separate from the progressives and join the less-crazy-than-maga centerish Republicans and they go play in corporate-funded Neverland that hopefully no sane voter would touch with a ten foot pole, a real progressive party might actually become a possibility. It’ll isolate the magats and push them back into a hole, we may get a more moderate conservative party that could be open to compromising again, and hopefully a coalition of real progressives can begin putting forward some much needed ideas.

    The key will be ensuring that that progressive party is funded well enough to compete with the corporate money that is pumped by the truckload into that new coalition (which will be a feat in itself).

    I dunno, just anything to get these fucking fleas out of our politics.

    I don’t think that’s how it works though. I believe once the server shutdown, our old profiles vanished with it, aside from posts and comments made on other instances. I can search my old name (bobs_monkey@lemm.ee) and some stuff comes up, but clicking on my username results in an error.

    It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.

    Edit: so I can see that some users were able to move their profiles while retaining their [user]@lemm.ee, which becomes [newlemmyurl]/u/[user]@lemm.ee, so, shit. It also appears that communities were able to migrate in the same manner. It’s all good, too late now I suppose. Hopefully the lemme.ee admins have backups and someone can take up the mantle.
