Pff somebody’s billionaire forgot to shut down the opinion column.

Chaired by a Baron, the Lord Paul Deighton, who also chairs the Heathrow airport and was involved in banking and the conservative governments of UK, handling part of the covid crisis for Boris, and being involved with the Pandora papers scandal.
The rest of the board has their own stories.

I’m guessing people in US allies countries like the UK, even billionaires, realize how bad Trump will be for foreign relations. So while Musk and Besos will suck his dick because all of their shit is in the US, these guys aren’t so eager to play ball.
So not somebody’s billionaire but somebody’s group of billionaires.
Not the greatest background but certainly unsurprising for The Economist. Oh well, an endorsement is an endorsement.

Probably because they’ve always supported right wing ideology.
Wow such edge

You can just block .ml at an instance level and you’ll be better off for it and you can add Hexbear in there too.
How does one do that? Do you mean the instance owner or me as a user?
I know on the voyager app in the settings section there’s an option for filters and blocks and you can filter keywords and instances in there.
Thanks I actually use Voyager so that is helpful.
I didn’t see what you were responding to, but I’m very close to doing this. Yesterday I unsubbed from just about all the .ml communities I was subbed to. They’re impossible to talk to and have gotten incredibly nasty. They just start indignantly name-calling immediately, there’s no real engagement anymore. I consider myself to be extremely left wing, but I also live in the real world. They are insufferable.
It won’t stop you from seeing comments from .ml users
If by extremely left wing you mean democrat, you are right wing
This is exactly the kind of crap I’m talking about. You are literally the first and only person who has ever called me right wing, because I objectively and genuinely hold far left beliefs, and I always have. You don’t know me, and since you obviously don’t want to engage in a good faith conversation, your trolling means nothing to me.
