The amount of data that has come out in the year since it’s launch has jumped mankinds knowledge of the cosmos forward by leaps and bounds.

it’s also further shown us just how little we know.

Zero. The answer to this question is Zero. There is no amount of Ketchup that should be added to Kraft Dinner.

nice attempted rage bate

There’s a massive difference between sharing views, IE: “I don’t like billionaires”, and Making threatening remarks, or calling to violence (not ok).

trying to frame me pointing out that calls to violence are NOT a good look for Lemmy, is not me calling out censorship. That’s you trying to rage bate the conversation into some argument about your rights (which ends where my nose begins)

I’m fairly new. Finding it hard to get truly into the experience given some of the more extreme takes that Lemmy seems to allow (or at least some federated servers)

Seems like Lemmee is sadly becoming a fairly isolated echo chamber for certain opinions only.

edit: An example of “Extreme takes”. Not linking the post. it’s been upvoted 17 times, and online for 18 hours unmoderated: in the post, the user encourages execution. Murder and destruction of property:

so, as an actual radical:

yeah pretty spot on with healthcare. this is basic ‘having a society’ shit.

I don’t want a job that pays so much as an actual society I can contribute to and nurture and be a fucking part of that will take care of me some noticeable fraction of how I take care of it. I’d rather not have money involved, if its all the same to you.

I do actually want a free place to live. I’ll help build it or whatever, but I’m fucking done compromising with landlord parasites; watched too many of their victims die.

I do not want corporations to be unprofitable; I want them dismantled and their boards executed. worker co-ops are cool. individual enterprise is cool. no more exploitation, no more not having a voice.

I think the entire concept we have of ‘democracy’ is absolutely cucked. I could write some essays on what real democracy looks like, but the short version is: fuck your bourgoise elections.

kill the billionaires; tjwyre literal monsters who drink children’s blood steal and transfuse the blood of the young to grasp vainly at eternal youth while burning our futures. no problem with your party yacht if its green and you built it with your friends, but I think we need a reset on ‘wealth’.

Reading shit like that a LOT on this site is a massive turn off to the average user, and why I have a hard time truly diving in and giving a shit about it.

Edited once more: Bolded the problem points I have with above. My issue is not the message itself, but the words and what this user encourages. Don’t gaslight that the language used in that post was beyond reasonable and encourages violence

I rarely touch the App store to “find” something. If I discover I need an App for something, that’s when I just go grab it from the App store.

Trying to peruse the App Store is a nightmare. there are numerous things wrong with it, especially the rating systems and how ratings keep certain apps constantly in everyone’s faces, despite getting horrible recent reviews.

Can’t have that. Might hurt profits somewhere. A big insurance company here just removed one of the drugs from coverage inexplicably.

Makes you wonder why despite a doctor prescribing it for weight loss, the insurance company can go ahead and just, nope out. and what motivation do they have to keep people fat?

ME:2 In my opinion is one of the greatest games ever published.

You know it’s some asshole artist on the wall who complained that his art “devalued” his in some way and demanded retribution.

First colony in space.

we’ve all got a finite time and my dream is that mankind figures out how to spread throughout the stars.

a first colony is that step

There are definitely some federated servers that need to be removed from network

Lemmy.ml in particular is being used to push specific voices and banning anyone else

Banned apparently from asklemmy on there because one asshole interpreted me supporting Israel. When my comment exclusively was pointing out that the past the use made was low effort trolling meme in a thread complaining about trolling

So thank you [email protected] for directly evidencing that you, and your node are hateful little agenda pushing shits.

I want to love lemmy

But the federated model will fail if nodes like the .ml continue to online and assholes like this mod have zero accountability

I honestly don’t feel like because I’d these problems this site is any better than Reddit.

We also need the power to block a node completely from our feeds.(found it in filters) Also to block and ban entire nodes from our own communities as i don’t want any lemmy.ml users in my sub

Keep being salty little shits ml users. Your proving the point to the rest of the lemmy world

The biggest mod tool: manual ban entry for preventing certain users. Looking for a way to ban from a community an individual before they show up.

The problem is that there are trolls here and rage baiters.

Having an argument with them is their goal as it opens up discussion for them to contribute nothing and spread more division.

They aren’t trying to have a discussion but use the comment chain to spread shit for others.

The user here never called for opinions to be censored. He called for action against trolls and bots who intentionally try pushing false narratives and division

The fact you immediately jumped to argue about censorship rally evidence your own point for being here and that’s to be a shithead too

Yes. Especially in subs like “Canada” or any post involving Canada in any way

It does not matter what the topic of the thread or conversation is. It can be about how Canada loves puppies. And there will be random 1 or 2 liners from new accounts making political comments heavily pushing specific agendas. Even completely unrelated

Lots of random anti government misinformation and one liners pushing a specific party misinformation and narrative. Our how we’re some 3rd world collapsing country

It is not natural. Same thing occurs also on Reddit.

He’s been allover the site posting the most inane oppositional comments to verything. Either a bot or paid account.

He says what he feels.

We call people like this with zero filter who constantly attack and insult others “Assholes”

Most people don’t behave like this. And it’s really no excuse for him spewing shit unfiltered. this is a terrible defense.

Telling his advertisers that if they don’t like that he allows antisemitism and hatred on X, to fuck off, in person in an auditorium is not “human”. it’s disgusting and evidences that He himself believes in spreading hatred as long as it makes him rich/powerful

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/elon-musk-bob-iger-should-be-fired-immediately

this isn’t how you run a business. (unless you’re perfectly fine with spreading hatred)

His incompetence as a business runner should have been blatantly clear when the SEC had to step into Tesla due to his comments and have him removed from all financial decision making for the company.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-226

He straight up has no idea how to run a business itself and always acts like he’s the full blown god of the companies he claims to run.

Fun story: He didn’t found Tesla as he claimed. He bought in and part of the deal was he could claim as a founder. (founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning)

Also fun Fact: He only started Space X because he was ousted from PayPal for being a shitty CEO by the board.

Going to be a toss-up between two of my own cars.

1992 Cavalier convertible Z24 I bought for pennies as my first own car. Had 420,000km on it and grabbed it and it’s papers from some sketch dealer.

Looked good enough on the outside for it’s purpose of having fun. Roof worked. And it had a v6. But it fell apart fast (and a lot due to my own shenanigans). Stearing became so off that I had to turn left to stay straight. The heater died, I live in Canada. The seat’s support broke, so I used an old set of goalie pads propped against the back seat to keep my seat upright. The dashboard lights were blown, so I had a ducked tape flashlight on my headrest to light my dash up. More than ounce, I’d have to pull a fuse and put it back in while cruising on the highway.

Second worse was the off the lot brand new 02 Sunfire my parents forced me to buy to replace the above shitbox due to it’s safety. For fuck sakes I despised this car. Despite how bad the cavalier was, it was FUN and quirky. The Sunfire was just a poorly made shitbox with zero power, and non-stop electrical failures the day I took it off the lot.

OR

Get this.

It’s completely irrelevant and spending that much time and mental effort on it is not a thing that warrants as much focus and attention you’ve put on it.

this focus on her ass is bizarre and borderline creepy.

Azeroth is home.

I’m more miffed

I’m more miffed that anyone gave enough shits about a cartoon depiction of an ass in a childs cartoon show to have spent the time even getting miffed about it.
