Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas are usually at the bottom of the rankings when it comes to the metrics you mentioned, especially education. Other southern states aren’t much better.
Seeing as how modern conservatism has become nothing more than a culture war against the things that improve the general well-being of a population, yes it will continue to be that way.

I think this trend will continue for a bit as more mobile apps get created and become more popular.
I WISH we had taxpayer funded healthcare in the USA. Sadly, we do not so I’m not sure your point is valid.
It was an event where one user can change the color of a single pixel at a time, choosing from a predefined color palette. There was a cooldown on how often you were allowed to color a pixel, 5 minutes or something, I don’t remember.
It was a fun way for communities to band together and draw pixel art over the course of a week or so. It was fun the first time because it was spontaneous and there weren’t very many bots, if any. After that, it was just a competition of who paid for the most bot accounts so they could camp a space to keep a clear picture. Completely lost its draw IMO (no pun intended).
This is my problem. I want to use Lemmy over Reddit, but there’s just not a diverse enough population to find the content I want about niche topics. Bundle that with the same 3-4 “tech company bad”, “CEO bad”, or “USA bad” topics on the top of my feed every day and it’s pushing me away from Lemmy tbh. I signed back into my Reddit account for the first time in months yesterday.
