Ofcom confirmed that there had been complaints about Lewis Schaffer’s comments, but because there were less than 50, it was unable to say how many.
Ffs, those numbers are far too low. In a country of 69 million people. I guess it's time I go and write a complaint. And if you're in the UK and outraged by this story, you should too.
If you don't, your silence only encourages similar "jokes"
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" and all that
What's the reasoning for mandatory voting?
As someone from the northern reaches of Europe. "Bizarre folks, these Christians! Can't trust 'em!" turned out to be very true.
Teachings of peace, love, and charity, delivered at the end of a blade. Assimilate or die became their modus operandi.
A strange bunch.
Generally I disagree with most calls for defederation because I didn't join Lemmy to join an echo chamber. We're all enriched by diversity of thought and opinion. Even if we disagree with those thoughts and opinions. And playing "which account has access to which servers?" is an annoying game to play. Defederation should, in my opinion, be the last resort that a server takes.
But this instance is bot spam, it's not enriching the Fediverse but homogenising it with Reddit.
So no objections from me, good call flamingos!
Never thought I'd be on the side of the redcoats, but alas you make a good point.
I understand now why so many traitorous Scots put on the coat.
That typo adds a certain je ne sais quoi to your comment, bravo.
Have you considered installing the roundabouts anyway and removing the driving licences of those incapable of manoeuvring around a simple roundabout?
Driving is not a right. If they can't perform simple manoeuvres without endangering others, they shouldn't be controlling a machine that can easily accidentally kill.
Could be suspicious but could also be because the EU is big.

How have the Conservatives done on key issues? Slow progress has been made on social housing. From 2013 to 2023, the number of social rented homes fell from 4.0 million to 3.8 million, according to an estimate by the UK parliament. By 2022/23, just 15% of new affordable homes were for social rent. Before 2011 it was over half. In the 13 years before the Conservatives came to power, 362,000 new socially rented homes were built. In the 13 years from 2010 to 2023, this fell to 171,000.
All this combines to create an acute housing shortage. The National Housing Federation estimates there are 4.2m households in England with unmet housing needs.

The number of social homes being built has fallen by almost 90 per cent since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, new official figures have revealed.
Just 1,409 of the lowest-cost homes were started in England in the 2017/18 financial year - down from 39,402 in 2009/10.
Not to mention a revolving door for housing minister, with 16 people being minister within a 14 year period. Almost as if they didn't really give a shit about the position because many of them are landlords.
"It is now nearly £10 million for a door which does not work. Somebody accountable must be identified and should perhaps resign for this terrible waste of public money," he said.
Meanwhile, Conservative Peer Lord Hayward estimated that the costs incurred from ensuring the door was manned at all times — in order to be opened — amounted to roughly £2,500 (€2,890) per week.
£2,500 x 52 weeks = £130,000 a year.
But there's no money for disabled people. Gotta tighten the purse strings, sorry! Have you tried pulling yourself up by your boot straps?
Hmm... Why would the party of private interests and profit result in a downturn in building and higher profits for private interests?
That's a tough one.
