what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

Discourse is a clean open source forum software that is commonly used for application support and well suited for it.

Or if your a real die hard for the fediverse, you could set up a lemmy instance for application support. There's even a phpBB frontend for an oldschool forum look and feel for it.

Usually everyday people don't setup forums, that's the responsibility of the application owner(s) or provider. In this case, the easy option is also the shitty option if measured by discoverability of the content.

Motorola's pretty decent in this respect, ime.

Because they control the FTC and any other regulatory agencies. It's called regulatory capture. The only other way they can be held accountable is through the pay to play court system which is biased towards them because they can drag it out until the other party gives up.

Thanks for sharing. Looks great.

I never suggested any such thing. Nice strawman.

Yes, A one page bulleted list of vague policies under 10 headings all containing the word justice at the end is not convincing. Not to mention the typo. Kinda seems like you are looking at him through rose-colored glasses.

Your right Biden's sucks too, but at least people know what to expect from him. It's a lot harder for an independent outsider to get votes than a known person.

In what way?

I would say it is more because of people that try to gatekeep what people say and do.

But in reality, it just because we have a shitty political system and a culture full of shallow people who unwilling to use rational thought instead of shallow judgements.

He's clearly not a popular figure if you've never heard his name.

His policies seem alright but are more like a dreamy wishlist rather than anything achievable. The paragraph of his wiki about his 2024 presidental run is more convincing than his website to me. And that is saying something.

American: In how left - right is commonly (mis)used here, It would be left-wing.

If you look at from a perspective where left is socialism and right is capitalism, It is slightly right-wing. But when your culture calls anything more than corporate handouts socialism, it seems pretty left-wing.

His website isn't secure and looks ancient. Also the front page is just a closeup of his face. It is clearly focused on shilling for his speaking and books. So based off of that somewhat shallow look, I would say he is just running as a publicity stunt for his business. Which is fine, I guess, but not someone that I would vote for.

Edited to add: He actually does have a campaign website at cornelwest2024 that I initially missed. I went to the top result which was his main website.

Perplexity is great for this. It gives like 5 links in addition to the text answer so it is imo the best of both worlds.
