Is there any problem with the statement that the far-left is trash and sucked as much as the far-right?

Only if you don’t have an issue lying, if you’re fine with lying, I guess you wouldn’t have an issue saying that…

Ever heard of horseshoe theory?

Yeah, it’s that thing trumpers and “moderates” constantly talk about. There’s no logic or facts to back it up, but they sure love repeating it.

I have a question tho, why are your only two comments talking about how “nazis aren’t really that bad”?

Elvis was though, he dyed his hair

I mean, it’s not for purely altruistic reasons…

Lead fucks people up and slowly turns them into rage addicted assholes.

We got enough of those these days, I’d like the amount to go down over the next couple decades. So I never skip a chance to talk about the dangers of lead exposure

The good news is it’s not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it’s not like you need to constantly monitor it.

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That’s actually a really bad sign…

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that’s 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:

Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.

This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn’t get a response.

How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?

Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal

They sold to Conde Nast, a giant media conglomerate.

Conde transferred ownership one level up the food chain. So the people in charge aren’t used to any kind of media, let alone social media.

Making up new rules everytime there’s a new protest won’t work

People will just come up with new inventive ways to fuck reddit over, and everytime reddit makes a new rule up, they’ll be articles like this giving the protest free press and making reddit look like jackasses

Volume, and diversity of opinions.

On Reddit I browsed “new” or “rising” and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

On Lemmy even including all instances, there’s not a whole lot on “new”.

Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

But low users mean most communities are dead. There’s a Fantasy Football sub for example, there’s 3 other people on it tho, so it won’t really be very useful this season.

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship…

That’s fucking insane when you’re going miles under the sea

Also, there’s no way to open it from the inside, they’re bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they’ll still run out of air if they’re not found soon.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn’t be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were “distasteful” but should remain online as long as they’re not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that’s not hate speech

Because the building was an asset during the sale…

On paper it was “smart” to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale because it would have been an immediate loss affecting the price.

Just kicking the can down the road

There was escrow fail-safes.

If they didn’t pay, there was funds sitting there to avoid downtime.

Took a while to burn through them, then they never got replenished.

“unintentional landing”

I mean, if it’s real bad shit like violence, that’s where FBI comes in, right?

Not sure if the ACLU would be able to do anything about hate speech.

But bad actors would have to run a shell game of go between instances to recruit. And they’ve been doing that shit for decades anyways. Hell, it’s the same thing as under 18 punk shows back in the day when nazis hung in the parking lot trying to give booze/drugs to kids.

Like, imagine if someone said we can’t have phones because assholes can also buy a phone…

The largest (at least well funded) socialist organization in the world is the US military…

If everyone got the shit I got as a disabled vet, we’d all be a lot better off and the only negative would be rich people have a slightly lower high score that’s 100% irrelevant to how their quality of life is.

Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr…

Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.

It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video
