I donate a nice chunk of cash to lemmyworld servers and devs. Meta is going to reduce the quality of Lemmy. It is going to get overrun with bots and advertisments and genuine conversations are going to dissapear. I and probably many other donators will not want to stick around if we get overrun with bot posts and advertisements like reddit.

Better to use republican politicians who have lots of pictures online.

Born and raised with over 4 complete generations of texans. Left after 25 years. My large family was extremely nice to everyones face and would talk tremendous trash behind your back. Every holiday they would talk about liberals/jews/blacks/mexicans as is tradition. Jokes about executing individuals of those groups were common.

Being white I’ve dealt with racial slurs and threats from blacks from going in the wrong neighborhood in south Dallas. So there is a general animosity from my experience.

That is a much more positive outlook on texans then I have…

I recommend assuming everyone has a gun and remembering black/white racial tensions are still very high in Texas. Also, texans often disguise bad character with friendliness.
