Why are you using the quote function? What/who are you quoting?

I don't care about Trump's feeling, I care about the feelings of others.

I've had sex with a few guys with very small penises, and they often seem afraid of being rejected or insulted once we're both nude.

I wouldn't insult him, because I don't see a point.

It's too easy for it to be turned into "Look at these haters" to entrench his base.

Yay for body-shaming?

They're just other cards in disguise.

Some of them are owned by Citibank, which makes them not Visa or Mastercard, but Citibank is still American owned. The other issue is that many stores in Canada are still owned by Americans or American companies.

It's about proving who was the original creator/user of the IP, instead of who is the first to file to have that IP protected.

The flipside of this would be having random holding companies just mass filing for ownership of everything posted online, said, written-down, or created, in the hopes that they get approved first so they can sue others, even the creators, for using it.

Look at the "very demure, very mindful" woman, Jools Lebron. Someone else (Jefferson Bates) file to trademark the saying because the original creator didn't think to until after it was viral. Because the laws are ultimately about proving who was the creator, and not who filed first in the USA, it's likely that Jools will get ownership, eventually.

shows that aren’t stupid gimmicks.

I don't own a tv, but what are the gimmick-based shows? Schitt's Creek, Baroness von Sketch Show, and Kim's Convenience are recent(ish) CBC shows that did very well.

That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.

I think the main point of federation is being able to see something from Lemmy.zip with an account on Lemmy.ca. So if one service goes down, or a there is a difference of opinion on what the rules should be, the whole platform of "Lemmy" doesn't go up in flames.

This prevents one person or group from controlling everything.

The grumpy answer: Don't mix and match across platforms.

They are very different platforms that serve very different purposes, and they have very different layouts. Viewing things from different instances using the same service works quite well, but even when cross-platform things work, it's not a great experience.

If you want to see stuff on Mastodon server, use a Mastodon account. If you want to see something on Pixelfed, use a pixelfed account, if you want to see stuff on Lemmy, use a Lemmy account.

She's pro oil and gas, and hates trans people.

That's how.
