Yeah, I use threads like these to block users. Can’t wait for lemmy to implement user level instance blocking like mastodon has.

Edit: don’t downvote me, tell me what issue you have with this.

I’ve actually found Bing to be way better than Google for a while now. It’s not even close, idk what Google did to their search engine but it’s pretty frustrating. It’s all ads and irrelevant links.

I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?

My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol

W raised the banner saying “Mission Accomplished” what more do you want? Jeez.

We could dominate the political landscape if we did, but we don’t.

Go look at the midterms we just had, it was historic. The GOP was supposed to gain way more seats based on previous trends but Gen Z came out in droves and denied them that. There hasn’t been a midterm like that in half a century. That’s why the GOP are saying things like this, they’re scared because in 2024 even more Gen Z will be eligible to vote.

Everyone make sure you do what you can to vote, it’s crucial.

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP

It’s my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

Now I just need Merry to put a hand on my shoulder and tell me “I don’t think they know about fourth once-in-a-lifetime financial crises.”

As a millennial I think this is number three… Maybe four?

I’m so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We’re not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn’t try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

The rare quadruple down on the dumb. Calling a lemmy community a subreddit is not a metaphor, it’s objectively wrong. No matter how many non-applicable examples you provide. How are you this dense? (That’s rhetorical btw)

Because people like me have an interest in having people like you be a little less self-righteous.

lmfao the projection of writing this at the end of the most self righteous comment I’ve read on lemmy yet is delicious.

Trying to say calling a Lemmy community a subreddit is a metaphor lmao

Also, you came back to the comments without getting a notification to reply to the edit? Dude, go outside lol

This isn’t about their political views in particular, this is about them brigading comment sections and derailing from the original topic and shouting down anybody who disagrees.

Defederation because of political views is, frankly, dangerous for democracy.

What? This is such a ridiculous claim I’m not even sure where to start. Federation does not equal democracy, and defederation from a shitty spammy instance has zero impact on democracy.

This post is from RT, about Ukraine/Russia/Belarus but the biggest thread in here is rehashing the Iraq occupation. Can we just discuss the original topic? Is that so hard?

This is why so many instances defederate from hexbear, they do this in every comment section. Just turn it into whataboutism against the US, and add nothing to the topic that’s actually being discussed by the article. They’re basically lemmygrad but brigade comment sections more often.

Edit: You ever see somebody say something dumb and then they unabashedly double down? Yeah.

I’d be surprised if you hadn’t read it already, it’s Mort by Terry Pratchett. I’ve been meaning to start Discworld for ages but kept finding excuses and finally started my journey reading them in chronological release order. I really wish I started this series sooner. What an absolute delight it’s been!
