  • “Shut the fk up!” Democrat storms out of event as voters voice criticism of anti-trans bill. “You can’t fking talk to me that way!” Rep. Eugene Vindman said before walking out without taking more…

  • Philosophically it is a test for how far and long people will participate in unjust systems.

    It's about the point people start questioning the system of charging someone with this choice, or the system that has people being lashed to trolley tracks as a point of principle.

  • It's all a public conversation, which is the point. Unless you delete or edit yourself, it gets to stand publicly for scrutiny.

  • Your entire second paragraph is disingenuous so I'm not going to bother. Comparing voting to door-to-door evangelism and prayer? Really?

    Their second paragraph is literally how the political opposition supporting Trump approaches their politics.

    Not bothering with a reality you do not wish to contend with is very on-brand here. Almost too much so.

  • How surrounded are you by opposing political views?

    Jump

  • I live in America in a deep blue state. The divide is about as classically pronounced as the railroad tracks here when the trailer parks grow numerous. Representation is deeply gerrymandered.

    It's also extremely militarized out here, with most people being attached to the military bases in some way.

    I spent 10 years working on the county level. For a time in a rural red area and for a time in the bluer area. Blue areas tend to be corporate owned and worship police. Red areas are desperately poor and distrust government.

    Out here the first point of wealth is to insulate and isolate from politics. So it has always been much easier to discuss politics with the rural poor folks. Free breakfast and childcare is a service that's appreciated and used.

    I don't even know how to reach the deep blue folks living beyond their gates. Maybe the delivery workers can try to leave fliers.

  • What were your thoughts about religion at 25 ?

    Jump

  • Raised with little religious zeal in a liberal catholic church. It was just a sort of background thing I ignored most of my life.

    At 25 I was at the height of studying comparative religion and evolutionary biology. I saw it all as an integral part of how we have operated as a species, and then I pivoted out of academia and dug clams for half a decade.

    I like the good religion can do. But it's like the state: bridges are neat, but the police patrolling it can really ruin it for everyone.

  • I always felt his style doesn't quite fit the anime faces.

    But almost all anime looks like the Potato Jesus on some level to me, so maybe it's just me.

  • I should probably add there's also been a community on my instance dedicated to portraying Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and .ml in the worst possible way, usually by taking a single comment or DM out of context. The user running it finally fucked off from the Fediverse just a month or two back.

    Since that community is now being run by overt Zionists who are into spreading outright doctored screenshots, hopefully it'll fall into long overdue irrelevance. If you ever see the term 'tankie triad' that's probably one of them.

  • It Wasn’t a Blowout, but El-Sayed Won. Get Behind Him, Democrats.

    Jump

  • That's entirely the point. Primaries, especially in non-presidential election years, are notorious for extremely low voter turnout.

    The candidate in this senate primary pulled more votes than the nominee in a presidential general election.

    Jump

  • Abdul got 15899 votes in Dearborn in this primary election.

    Kamala Harris got 15189 votes in Dearborn during the general presidential election.

    I think that is a meaningful statistic.

  • Hexbear originated from ChapoTrapHouse fandom which is a part of the so-called dirtbag left that explicitly antagonizes (neo)liberals. They also don't use downvotes and encourage users to voice their opinions instead.

    So every wave of redditor freaks the hell out when they get a handful of hexbear users clowning on some take like it's a coordinated brigade attack.

  • It's all a little fuzzy but essentially the Gros Michel was THE cultivar of banana, but it became susceptible to a disease. It still exists, but can't be farmed like it used to be.

    The chemical was developed and likened to the Gros Michel variety in mind for it being called 'banana' flavor since the Cavendish (i think?) hadn't yet replaced the world market as the banana cultivar of choice.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Not all communities are run the same way, nor do any intend to do so necessarily.

    At a certain point some people are just trying to maintain a walled garden with curated content. Sometimes they can be real shit about it, too. It's not exactly suited for the Fediverse, but neither are broad, everything-goes communities or ones trying to appeal to 'everyone'.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Not who you're commenting to, but for me it's based on wasting/spending the time to read not only OP's analysis about the Fediverse, but then looking into their comment history and public modlogs for their 'perfectly polite' takes that got them banned.

    Which is far more than basing a conclusion on a single phrase.

    People wearing the skin of decency usually gives reason for people to fight on social media. And sometimes people do the research so others don't have to.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • The context of the author is valid when judging their content.

  • What are some of your favourite niche or hobby-based Lemmy instances, and which ones should be avoided at all costs?

    Jump

  • A lot of the moderation that causes users public grief are usually just timeouts. Arguments over politics and ideology, etc quite often catch folks a timeout. Folks will debate a two day ban for a week.

    And with the Fediverse: many community moderators are also admins of instances.

    So with that in mind: moderation policies quickly convert drama between users to drama between instances.

  • Only thing I could add is that the Piefed dev has thus far been supportive of the Tesseract dev in their blacklisting decisions. But I dunno about this DDOS stuff though.

  • So that's the piefed dev... and I'll assume the two others consist of the most overtly zionist admins in the FHF corporate team? (Wait, I'm sorry "corpasluts".)

    I mean just what is FHF going to do without their CFO? Or will they keep him onboard as a reliable financial manager who just hates the fediverse?

    Oh it's been a fun the last couple of weeks on here, I can tell you that. The vindication feels great.
