  • Here’s my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You’ll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.

    Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you’ll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that’d going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).

    You’ll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.

    Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that’s universal, its the next best thing.

    Hope you enjoy it here!



  • So, an actual answer if you’re interested.

    No, the President does not have the power to remove him. When the Post Office was reformed into USPS in the 1970’s, the selection of Postmaster General is made by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service. These board members have 7 year terms, and are appointed by the President, with Senate approval.

    The Postmaster General has no fixed term, and serves until the Board decides otherwise.

    There are 9 members of the Board, and no more than 5 can be from the same party. The Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General are also voting members of the Board, though there are some things they can’t vote on.

    Removing requires an absolute majority - so even though a quorum is 6, there needs to be 5 votes to remove DeJoy.

    No member of the Board can serve more than 2 terms, and they can’t be removed without a gross violation - misconduct for example.

    So despite the spongebob meme reference reply near mine, no, Biden can’t just remove DeJoy.
