My oldest Reddit account was just one year shy of being able to vote (just rolled over to 17) and it stung a little to hit that delete button yesterday. Lemmy very much reminds me of the days when I joined. However, users here frequently point out not having any niche subs on Lemmy - that was exactly what we had to contend with on Reddit. Except making a sub became competitive and you had a lot of speculative sub creation etc. It was exciting because it was new, but that isn’t the case now. The attitude I see missing on Lemmy then is this desire to create communities, and instead lament they don’t exist. Be the change you want to see everyone.

Thank you - I’m sick of being told class issues cannot be separated from social issues. You have to be laser focused on: all issues are class issues. Adding social issues as a non-negotiable factor is self-defeating. Remember: all issues are class issues. Lock that in, do not be distracted by anything else claiming one isn’t possible without the other. All issues are class issues, period.
Cool guy and a good ally, will absolutely support this.

Only as a scalpel, not a hammer imo. They would love nothing more than violence to break out so they can violently suppress it in return.
Not really. And I wouldn’t pin this behavior on something that has therapeutic use anyway, ketamine deserves better.
Paired with Discord reactions or whatever, I am the most guilty of both of these.
Be safe.
I will gladly take you up on this, not sure if it’s possible: trying to get the Toonami Aftermath site to work on librewolf
“I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers […] it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated […] that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. […] I declare before God, as a man and a soldier, I will not strike a foe who stands unarmed and submissive before me, but would rather say—‘Go, and sin no more.’” - some guy before lighting Atlanta on fire
Right on, apologies if I came in a little hot
