Username checks out.

Does anyone really still expect a clean ,better than the original, unmonitzed remake from EA? This is probably for the best

And people will still insist on remaining there. I’m convinced Musk could shut down the site tomorrow, and people would continuously refresh until it somehow reappears.

Lemmy has an extremism problem. Partly because of the lack of moderation tools (which is why a lot of mods supposedly left reddit in the first place) and partly because of the lack of moderation, or straight up complacency of some mods.

Why does every fad tech come with a huge environmental cost?

DINOs out

So that’s where we get TV “southern” from…

Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?

It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn’t just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers.

Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority.

A minority, but they are loud and have influence. I still remember the convoy that shut down the country for weeks.

I mean going on your second point, I think it demonstrates the difference between a slur and a descriptor is how it’s used as a word.

Like transgender is neutral term but we see it becoming a scare word by fascists recently by changing how its used in speech. Like “transgendered”, “transgenderism” or “transing” (as a note, it’s kinda scary how the first two no longer set off window’s spellcheck). Basically turning trans as a state of being adjective into a verb makes it seem like an act you can do to someone or have happen to you.

Like Winnie the Pooh! With my bare hands slathered in honey!

Didn’t read, sorry. Reddit brain made my brain work not so good.

Y’all are getting payed to live in shitty places?

I honestly prefer fediverse remain as that complex open source alt, because it’s one of the few filters we have for users here.

I honestly don’t believe rapid growth is healthy for any platform, and we’ve even seen it here with how comments and memes are getting increasingly vitriolic and offensive. Fuck, antivax memes are starting to appear on lemmy.ml’s meme community.

I’m starting to think Beehaw had the right idea with vetting users, because there people here who think Lemmy should be another 4chan.

Have we?

They really do have the fashion police down there.
