disclaimer this is from circa 2020 but feels relevant to the people dancing to mariachi getting tear gassed today

      This needs to be a patch, if not an outright shirt print. And it most definitely needs to be in Anarchist colours.

      Edit: Jesus Christ, I’m dreaming up business plans, someone slap my brain back in place…

        Regardless of what we might prefer, we’re all forced to deal with capitalism until we build something better.

          True, but I’ve made it a point to get out of the mindset, ease up on that programming. I started realising that being hyper-entwined with the current mess reduces my creativity’s field of view and limits what I can picture beyond the system itself.

          By getting out of that mindspace, I hope to clear up some creative bandwidth, so that I may start dreaming of better alternatives. Because all I have right now is “gestures vaguely at Star Trek,” and I need more.

    The media backs the blue and are allergic to providing sympathy to protestors. It’s less active decisions by billionaires telling the media what to do, and more the media being a well trained dog. They don’t need to be told to run propaganda, they do it on instinct. They continue to pilot the rotting corpse of the liberal democratic world because it’s all they know how to do.

    This is what the majority of people trying to see your image get when you use imgur to upload something on lemmy:

    {“data”:{“error”:“Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later.”},“success”:false,“status”:403}

    For crying out loud stop using imgur.

        Likely more specifically those on VPN or in a specific geographic region. That being said

        https://catbox.moe/ is excellent. and certain instances support direct image uploads. In the interest of avoiding huge companies it would certainly be best to try to use less restrictive services

        Works fine for me as well. Don’t think I’ve ever had any imgur issues tbh

          Ive had problems the last few days. Not just on Lemmy. All imgur anywhere. Both on PC, browser, and jeroba. I figured it was an imgur issue.

      my instance significantly limits image size and i get the same flame comments when i use catbox which is blocked by some ISPs.

      if it’s such a problem for you, grab the image from imgur and mirror it to a media server that works for you and post a link in the comments. saves everyone time and actually improves the situation rather than contributing meaningless discord.

      Yeah, it does that for some VPNs. As well as blocking uploads from Ukraine, which is only given as Something went wrong with CREATE_ALBUM_FAIL. Please try later

      A part of the awesome modern web experience.

      Some VPNs are completely blocked on random websites, Slovakia Swan Mobile (4ka) keeps getting blocked by Google Captcha, Ukrainian Lifecell keeps getting blocked by Cloudflare, Czech T-Mobile keeps getting blocked by Reddit, etc.
