He was just a Fledditor. Living in a Lemmy woooorld.
But like, could I come visit if I need to seek asylum? That would be different than tourism, right? I’m not really happy or comfortable with the situation here, nor have my efforts been able to change other people’s views (e.g. make them think about consequences).
Ohhh, such a relaxed bun. Very much at odds with how violent and energetic I’m sure they actually are.
Ty, ty. No talking about pets without paying the pic tax. One back for you.
;_; I can’t see any kitty pic
Happy you could join! You’ll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.
Pre edit: Oh, lol. I just typed this out and realized you were the same guy from elsewhere in the comments. Feel free to completely disagree with me, but I’m leaving this here for others that want to read and think.
There are a lot of great answers to the question, how about this one.
When the USA spent 6.5 billion anually (started with George Bush) it prevented 20 million people from being able to spread HIV each year. This includes to children that would be born with HIV. Now you might not have the empathy to consider investing that for foreign adults and children at the cost of double what just Elon Musk got last year in government contracts, but let’s change from HIV to the next Covid. What would happen to the rate of infection globally if 20 million more people from some of the poorest countries became vectors of a highly contagious deisease? That sounds like a problem for the USA to me.
Yup. That does sound racist. Mentioning black names and a court docket together in an example leads me to think inherent bias exists in the commenter.
Yeah, pretty sure the racist part is that you correlated black names with court dockets as a made up example. A school roster or something would have been a neutral example. You may just have some personal struggles in this area. Not saying things is a very good way to avoid sounding racist but not a good way to confront our personal biases. <3
Exactly. That’s why making it harder for them to dismantle the government is actively helpful to multiple nations, and being able to spoof emails from others on that list is probably the best way to get around any filters. Not that I’d ever advocate for doxxing. Nope. Definitely noone should ever do that or anything else illegal ever.
I love seeing these type of interactions on Lemmy.
For my two cents, this is the main thing I told every Trump supporter I talked with why I would never vote for him. Every other reason they had dumb counterarguments for, but not kids in cages. None of them liked the idea when it happened the first time. Now I have two things to ask them about.
I’m glad you remain reasonable. I almost downvoted out of principle, but this feels like the intended use for image AI.
Ohh, I like that one.
CBS has litterally fired someone for “personal reasons” after she criticized Musk’s Nazi salute on her Instagram. NBC is close to having me consider them a Nazi sympathizer; maybe they are terrified of defamation lawsuits enough to not say the truth out loud.
Yeah, now we just need all of Lemmy to only put posts about Musk in that community. Problem solved.
There’s a comnunity for that on this instance already, funnily enough. https://lemmy.world/c/enoughmuskspam
It’s like when a todler is hiding behind a thin pole and everyone can still see them. The ADL can’t hide anything behind the phrase “awkward gesture.” Someone needs only ask, “What makes it awkward?”
Leader of a divied up and purchased world doesn’t have the same ring to it. It has a ring of truth instead
Deal. I stopped pledging “allegiance to the flag” over a decade ago when I realized this wasn’t a nation with “liberty and justice for all”. I’ll also bring some trans baddie friends with me.
