The only thing worse than people using 4ch in 2023 is people posting shitty posts from 4ch in 2023.

I guess, but a little fanboy won’t be able to afford to do it day after day for months. Big corpo surely can

Any de-federated instance doesn’t have the money or resources to start DDOS attacks. You know who does? Large corporations who feel attacked at the very existence of large platforms such as lemmy.world.

Who do we know with those resources, funding, knowledge of software (in general, as well as able to place specific people to learn about certain FOSS projects that have their code available), and the desire to spend such resources?

You know it’s Reddit Co, we know it’s Reddit Co. They know they’re doing it too.

Fuck Spez and his bullshit army. I hope they can sleep well in their suburban McMansions while they sell out their future.

Conspiracy is one thing, this is just obvious.

Honestly this community has been less general political memes, and moreso low thought but decent effort Liberal (with a capital L) memes. Was this originally posted by the FB conglomerate known as “George Takei”?

you said without checking, but to know you checked? I don’t agree with their hate/ignorance/etc but they’re definitely right about this dumb fucking meme. Not only do I disagree that everyone at Jan 6 was a Nazi (moreso just an idiot who dislikes ‘libruls’, which to me is not close to even the neonazi ideology), this meme uses stupid song parody, the dumb clapping emoji, and just seems akin to smelling their own farts. It’s not going to convince anyone about anything, and isn’t really an ‘own’, even compared to the generic dem-friendly take downs of DS era Jon Stewart. It’s just weak and cringe inducing. It’s 100% on the level of weak-ass boomer FB memes.

what?

Never noticed because I’ve never received a single voice message in the 5+ years of using it. Then again, I only use it with friends and not large communities. I’ve had spam messages, but they’re rare and just text talking about crypto.

In general I agree, but the existence of the death penalty at all is not rehab or restitution, but to cause suffering. I don’t believe in eye for an eye, but if the goal is punishment, death is only an escape from punishment, whereas keeping them alive and in jail for as long as possible is to me way more of a punishment.

Good, death is an escape from punishment. If you want someone to suffer for their crimes, keep them alive and miserable in jail. The only hell is the one we live in now.

and yet again the dems will not hold their ground, will bow to the conservatives, and then when asked why they can’t get anything done, will complain they need more donations.

At this point I’m starting to believe that the DNC (not specific party members, but the shadow organization that’s in charge of strategy, ran by unelected administrators) has given up and might even be trying just not hard enough so they can keep up the facade that they care about the middle and lower classes.

I agree, but in regards to the post itself, and especially the deep breath bs, that’s exactly the type of shit redhats make fun of liberals for.

This post isn’t going to convince anyone, it’s only going to solidify the feelings the redhats already have. It’s the same as “actually…” to them and it doesn’t matter what comes after, you’ve already lost them.

You should know more things so other things come more easily to you as they do me, because I am really smart.

there’s really nothing to do about it

ah, great suggestion. “just roll over and take it!”

Get bent

Give him enough senators and the house and he will make fundamental changes to voting rights and possibly the supreme court.

How many times do we have to hear this lie or other excuses?

It’s advertising. I don’t care for advertising. It’s like if all food subs were posts by Kraft, Taco Bell, Lays, Ben & Jerry’s, etc.

If people want to advertise, that’s fine, there are avenues for that. r/gonewild got ruined by being filled to the brim with OF ads. Other communities had to be made to recreate the space that gonewild used to be.

the basis for r/gonewild was a place for REDDITORS to “go wild”, not for women who are paid to do so, to then create a reddit account so they can have a place to advertise their product (their photos and videos) for free.

Yes, this is life. We all feel like this almost all the time.

and they are not responsible for the feelings of OP. Why should they have to accept OPs way of being blunt when OP won’t do the same for them? Being autistic isn’t an excuse for being a jerk.

OP talks about feeling like they have to coddle people, and I guarantee they 100% feel the same when talking to OP.

I’m just trying to communicate in a way that works for me

Here’s the kicker, you have to communicate in a way that works for people other than yourself when you aren’t talking to only yourself. Everyone would like to be blunt all the time, but then we’d argue more and constantly be at each other’s throats.

OP should read about diplomacy, especially between countries without similar languages.
