Turns out when all you want are loyalists, all you get are dumb assess.
Philosophical inbreeding is also not good.
It isn't chump and his taintsuckers you gotta worry about.
It's the army of Federalist Society lawyers and policy experts around him. They've spent decades figuring out the removed in the armor of our governmental system. Figuring out how to dismantle it piece by piece.
Edit - wtf is that removed about? Wait....oh. bot thinks I did a racism.
Are you saying your comment was edited?
Fucken hell, that's the correct fucking way to define a gap in armor. Bullshit. I really want to try a bunch of slurs out and see what sets it off.
I really want to try a bunch of slurs out
This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.
Wait until you try the in-game chat in Rocket League. You can't even type "Discord". It's a banned word. 🤡
Go removed ahead you removed.
Not much since you're on .world. .ml is much more strict.
Jebus. I still haven't figured out if .ml is government funded or true believers. Very strange to me.
It's the home instance of the founders of Lemmy, who are communists. I don't know their views on authoritarian communism like Stalin or Mao, but people who thought these were good leaders are the "tankies" you may have heard of. There are a lot of them on .ml.
There are better Lemmy hosts out there, just waiting for you to join.
Gimme a list.
There was as guy running around with a list of smaller, worthwhile instances.
I ended up on lemmy.zip more recently after starting on kbin, then moving to .world.
lemm.ee seems to be gaining popularity.
sh.itjust.works is also pretty well represented, its users seem normal enough afaik.
lemmy.dbzer0 is an anarchist instance, their admin is super knowledgeable and seems like a cool guy.
lemmy.blåhaj.zone is a radically inclusive, safe instance. They're virulently anti-bigotry and anything perceived as "anti-marginalized" groups will likely be removed/banned.
There are hundreds of instances, 569 as of writing this. Some are niche and focused on specific hobbies or uses and a bunch of others are general purpose. It's worth clicking around and sorting a few different ways to find a server you like. Remember you can export your settings and import them into an account on another instances so moving is relatively painless.
Bookmarked. Thank you for this insight.
Thank you very much.
I just signed up with the first one that worked, and it still took a while to actually get it created.
"Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters."
A lot of Lemmy users really need to understand this. Far too often I see people deride want action that doesn't immediately fix all problems in the world as worthless or meaningless, simply because they lack the imagination needed to see how small actions can add up to big changes.
Incrementalism got us here. At some point, you have to realize that you can't stop a flash flood by bailing with a solo cup and shouting "I'm helping!"
It's a stalling tactic to placate chumps while they sell us all out.
That's true, but it can also be used in reverse as a pacifying mechanism. For example, contributing to making the US the most incarcerated population in the world with ridiculously strict "tough on crime" legislation and then pardoning a small fraction of prisoners. Another example is forcing student loan debt to stick around through bankruptcy, but then forgiving a tiny fraction of loans. It's a move to pretend change is in motion, but it's so small and so slow that it's never going to actually solve the problem. This is especially bad when the other party makes such huge moves in the negative direction while we're supposed to be content with tiny steps toward "progress".
Neighbor, you're who they're speaking to...
This Lemmy user has the right idea.
finally, a person with a STRATEGY. so sick of the whining.
she needs volunteers for personal escort and safety. i think she is going to be targeted.
She has employees

Look at the "secret service detail" he picked.
He picked loyalty over skill, actually DEI
Just a few inches to the right
