This is just plain not true. Cool strawmanning.
As with every single time this comes up. "Hexbear would TOTALLY say this" "Oh really, any examples?" "NO BUT THEY WOULD I BET PROBABLY"

Did anybody say admins aren't entitled to block stuff? User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn't want.
Fuck off with this aggressive bad-faith shit.
Just not true. There are a lot of anarchists on there. In fact a large portion of their emotes are dedicated to left unity.
How did Hexbear ever harass everyone here? Lemmy.world never even federated with them for a second.
All I can say is that you clearly have no familiarity with open source development or the active contributors within it.
Sorry, I should've been clearer, the myth you spouted isn't just baseless, it's actually been disproved. Different generations change their political leaning in different ways as they age.
You have no right to hold this over people’s heads, and even implying that someone who does “more than just vote” isn’t doing their part. Some of us have demanding jobs, kids, family that requires care, or other demands that do not allow time for voting instead of attending the occasional local better-timed rally which has already been made extremely difficult in some areas.
In short: get fucked. Go do activism. Don’t try to create some kind of one-upsmanship game that predicates your civic responsibility on someone else’s volunteered time.
It's more than nothing at all. Are you suggesting we should just vote and otherwise lay down and wait for fascism to descend upon us?
Thinking the Democrats (or Republicans) are interested in passing any meaningful electoral reform is pure delusion.
Sure does. Like the 8-year long shelling civilians campaign that Ukraine was undertaking on Donetsk and Luhansk, solely on the basis that it wanted to deny them a vote on their own autonomy.
