Please don’t give him any ideas
Yay, soon we’ll no longer need coal to keep the heating on for the 8 months of chilliness. I hear the production of hydrogen fuel can actually help with climate change since it gets the hydrogen from methane (which is about to escape from the Canadian, Norwegian and Russian permafrost in a few years)
I thought the sound was too shallow for big fish
Actually no, I didn’t feel it
If by “them” you mean lemmygrad and hexbear users, then yes. They ban all who don’t agree 100% with their stupid takes on any given issue.
If by “them” you mean Palestinians in regards to the actions of hamas, if you’d bothered to see my comment history you’d see that I’ve only ever spoken out AGAINST people who actually believe or are arguing that.
I was hiking at St Helens when it happened
This right here is why I love .world; and that grad OP is right about one thing: It is indeed reddit 2.0; the whole idea was to create an instance that takes everything that’s good about reddit and provides an alternative to that stupid site, where app-pocalypse refugees (including myself, who are mostly average joes) can come and create /c’s about normal, reddit-like things. Like c/nostupidquestions (which actually is tolerant of almost all types of questions unlike the original r/), Star wars fans of all three trilogies banding together under one banner, the national/regional news-and-nature c/‘s like c/Canada and c/pnw, a friendlier version of r/atheism, an antique memes nostalgia c/, and a few entirely new feel-good communities like c/lemmybewholesome.
And better still: I hear lemmy will soon get an update that lets you block instances in addition to c/‘s and users. Right now if you block one tankie sub, c/all will just show posts from like 3 more
Circle theory is real
I’ve actually once seen a tankie scream something about how the “imperial coreTM” (America) allows gay marriage, codifying Obergefell into law last year just in case SCOTUS and some red-state AG decide it needs to go and make a serious attempt at it. Some of them actually do think it’s “capitalistic degeneracy”
Amen to the mod part! Shows just what forum admins actually caring about said forum’s community can do for it
“Perhaps some would call on us to point out the obvious moral hypocrisy of those far-left Americans who bandy about terms like “war criminal” while turning a blind eye to what amounts to an unconscionable war crime on the part of Hamas. But we are also not going to do that. Why? Because people will get angry with us—extremely irritating people, to be clear—and we just don’t want to deal with it.”
Ah yes, the tankies. There are even reports of them doing the same thing but for throwing around “imperialism” while turning a blind eye to Russian expansionism not only in Ukraine, but also often fantasizing about coming for Alaska next. (But knowing tankies I wouldn’t at all put it past them to support an invasion of “the imperial coreTM” to own the “ameritardsTM”)
