/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
Harris wouldn’t support genocide if she knew it would cost her the election. There would be an arms embargo by now if it weren’t for her voters reassuring her; “No no, it’s okay! You can kill anyone you want and start WW3 and we’ll still vote for you.”
But calling you all genocidal goose-steppers isn’t fair. You’re just cynical. You fundamentally do not believe you can change anything.
They’re not equally fascist.
It’s fascism lite vs fascism deluxe!
I just don’t understand why people like OP even left Reddit.
I think it’s because it was the main instance that redditeurs moved to during the big the exodus.
More like reddit.world
This would require some kind of federation alliance of instances that check each other’s usernames to ensure no duplicates over the whole network. Sure, maybe lemmy.shit doesn’t recognize the network, but then they don’t get federated with.
This is definitely possible, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.
Notice how TheCradle never failed a fact check? All those sources you listed have failed fact checks. That’s the difference.
I’m under the impression that they can still downvote but you won’t be able to see it.
Yeah, but then what?
So you have confirmed that you have a fan club that likes to downvote you. What would you even do with this info?
Unlimited genders on the first world.
During the COVID pandemic we decided a 9/11 every day was fine, that has consequences.
The flood of new users overwhelmed the existing culture for online forums and the ability to enforce existing norms.
That’s not really true, in hindsight.
The real problem was that the tools for enforcing existing norms and protecting forum culture didn’t exist yet. Look around today, though, and you can certainly find forums and boards and other online spaces where a distinct culture exists and its norms are enforced.
I do! It’s why I thought it was important to highlight - I’m not too concerned about mod tyranny, per se, but I am concerned about servers going down.
Redundancy has been so important recently with the DDoS attacks, and even as that subsides it’s still definitely an important infrastructural perk that federation offers. It’d be a shame to lose that to centralization.
You aren’t wrong, but also a lot of the communities I subscribe to aren’t on .world so I still have content.
Normally a DDoS would mean I have to go find something else to do!
It’s amazing how federation makes it so those of us on different instances don’t even notice when .world gets DDOS’d
Of course there’s garbage you don’t want to see in a community. But the difference is there’s an actual human being I entrust to the task of removing it (the moderator). If I don’t like how a community is moderated, I can go to another community. Mods make these calls for the sake of quality and topicality of their particular community, not because of some ulterior motive.
Unless those moderators are getting paid, you are just benefitting from unpaid labor and externalizing the costs of running the community onto volunteers.
That’s why I’m not against algorithmic moderation. The work itself is never going to be paid labor unless social media is nationalized, so it must be automated.
Again, like I said, calling y’all genocidal goose-steppers wasn’t fair of me to do. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I was mad.
Your cynicism is a tragedy. You can only imagine two outcomes. Either everything gets worse under Trump or things stay as bad as they are right now under Harris. There’s no other options in your mind. You are too cynical to imagine anything else.
And so you attack anyone who refuses to vote for genocide and then get offended when they strike back. Did it occur to you that I was lashing out because other .world posters were dogpiling on me in various threads and attacking me? Or do my feelings not matter?
