Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

Isn’t there a genocide somewhere you should be out denying?

I really don’t understand lemm.ee policy here. Hexbear is clearly a SPAM instance, but because they spam under the guise of leftist principles we’re just gonna let it slide. If explodingheads was this active and this toxic they would be de-federated 100%. Hexbear users brigade and spam every thread including this one. Being actively hostile, launching bad faith arguments. Don’t engage with these turds, just block and move on. We NEED instance blocking or lemmy is fucking toast.

Bigot

No, not really. You guys have just made it insanely easy to identify yourselves. I always double check to make sure it’s hexbear.net, don’t worry.

While I think this should pass, don’t hold your breath. Mayor Frey will probably veto it. He’s a very moderate, business friendly Democrat and our governor also vetoed a similar bill from the state legislature earlier this year. Right or wrong, they are concerned that any disruption of Uber/Lyft services would be extremely detrimental to people who depend on them. Public transportation in MN is really bad and this is one of the major ways people get around.

At 21 hours old, this lemm.ee meta post has 1123 comments and 3/4ths of the comments are from hexbear users. They brigade every thread with their non sense and it is impacting lemmy in a very negative way. We wouldn’t be having this discussion if it wasn’t. I don’t really like defederation if it was a tool to silence ideology but what hexbear users do is not really debate ideology and more aggressive in your face bad faith argument trolling. This is a spam instance that should be treated as such. Block it.

The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they’ll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don’t think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.

Tankies are really one to talk about Propaganda. Go away!

I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can’t get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!

I’m so glad idiots like you aren’t in charge of policy in Minnesota.

Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn’t matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don’t think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that’s like half of the active Lemmy users right now.

They’ll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it’ll be gone too and we’ll get another wave leaving reddit.
