It is the job of government to insulate us from the pain of recession, not to exacerbate it.
Come to think of it, it is the job of government to prevent recession, not cause it.

@dminghella The real definition of libertarianism, it seems, is:
Every man, woman and child for themselves.

@LindseytheGenie Thank you very much. It‘s not easy to summarise their cruelty in one single sentence. 😢

At least not without the ranting that you get in the other place. I've been as guilty of it as anyone at times, but it's not really who I am. Being calmer helps clear my mind and hopefully find solutions where I can. It's why I feel so much better here I think 😊

@LindseytheGenie I'mso pleased for you. 🤗
I had a mixed day here yesterday with not so nice interactions & by evening felt rather down & unwelcome, so for now I will keep my posts limited to my German word of the day & my morning tweet. I'll check in ever so often to catch people's toots & replies, of course.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you reported them? I've seen advice from Mastodon veterans who suggest if you get no joy from the moderators on your server, then swap and report the server. I had one very nasty attack on me yesterday, but most have been really nice thankfully. Hopefully, neither of us will get any more of the same. 🤗

@LindseytheGenie Yes, I hope so, too. 🤗
