Lament users:

Many, many people have been fighting over the land for thousands of years if you really want to go back. As far as I’m concerned, the land belongs to whoever can hold it.

Israel didn’t start the war.

People here really will just believe anything anyone says as long as it supports their worldview. This place is no different from Reddit.

The issue is that a community on any platform is made by the average users, not the moderators. If you splinter a community into three competing communities, you will probably severely damage its integrity as a whole. It’s similar to the issue that some Discord servers have, where they tell people to take discussion from the main channel into different channels. More often than not, this kills the discussion because few people actually move to a different channel, with most opting to drop the discussion entirely.

A few people shouldn’t have complete ownership over something that exists because the people under them make it so.

Every platform should have some mechanism to remove troublesome moderators.

At best you’re a slacktivist and at worst you’re a cryptofascist. Either way, go fuck yourself.

Go do a slow march against the next Hitler and see how much they care. Then enjoy 6 months in jail.

They probably wouldn’t have taken me because I’m a Jew, dipshit.

This. I don’t care how righteous your cause is. Get the fuck out of my way and go stab an oil exec if you actually want change.

IDK, I probably wouldn’t want every anon having access to the source code for my cybereyes, let alone something like a pacemaker. Companies should be legally mandated to maintain devices like these for the average human life expectancy.

TIL it’s not explicitly wrong

He did pay for the service though. They just decided to stop charging him for it.

A reasonable response? On Lemmy? Inconceivable.

Some shit literally out of a cyberpunk dystopia:

Others find their mods deactivated and drug regimens terminated when their gender subscriptions end. Several thousand “Platinum” and “Sunset Rose” gender subscribers recently found themselves in critical medical distress when Prakhet Identity Studios was bankrupted by rogue operators. In a spirit of public service, Nova Vida is generously providing a discounted, time-limited upgrade opportunity for these consumers into their similar but fuller-featured “Cordova” and “Spartan” gender products.

Relying on updoots as a content filtering method is very effective.

nyeh heh heh

No one is leaving YouTube because there is no alternative. You can go to a site like Vimeo, but no one uploads there. You can go to Nebula, but very few people want to pay for yet another subscription.

This website is plastered with antisemitic propaganda. People will believe whatever they want to.
