We may be doing a lot of choosing the lesser evil but gd there is such a huge margin between them right now. I am not willing to give a rapist traitor a 2nd chance to damage the country more than he already did. Hell I expect him to try and pull off something right on election day and if not that a Jan 6th 2.0 right after it. Putting the country into a civil war would not bother the diaper wearing orange shit sandwich in the slightest.

I will not at all be shocked if republicans under trumps command try to push election certification to the house while complaining of fraud that didn’t happen.

Someone linked the mod log. I read it and totally looks like echo chamber to me. You tow the line or you get removed. Did that admin open a can of worms step in doodoo and track it through the house instance making a mess? Yup. But the pot is calling the kettle black when it cries about the censorship aspect. These seem like folks that belong on reddit or their own instance because its the personal kingdom of the mods being encroached on that is their real problem.

The rest of lemmy.world admins are now trying to navigate this mess and no matter what they chose to do a large chunk of thier userbase is going to be unhappy. As far as I can see this was the least damaging way they could move on. There simply is no good ending to this, just a least bad one.

Ed: I’ve seen your voting patterns kids, your dissaproval of this post means nothing to me. I have no respect for people who purity test thier own social group.

Wow that modlog is pretty eye opening, big echo chamber vibes.

It has 100% happened before and just never been admitted to. I have both 1st hand dealt with the aftermath and heard from other smaller companies about it. I work at medium sized MSP and disaster recovery is in my wheelhouse.

Church and state was where we really needed a wall, not Mexico

I’d stop spending all my time on trying to survive and poor all my hours into work I want to do instead of have to do. I have a ton of stuff I’d actually want to do that are very definately work but I can’t make a living doing it, so I don’t!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from existing so better off Floridans don’t have to see the poors so much

Fixed

You monster.

You half-dogged the bun. You don’t half dog the bun even if its the last dog you have and starving, its just wrong!

(Pls read this in the “you can’t double dip the chip” voice)

Its almost a poorly made extortion racket: if you are a business that does not pay the bbb to get a good rating they rate you badly till you do. But either way they can’t actually do anything about shitty companies, its all the illusion of having recourse for the consumer when there is none.

Wait for it to sleep climb on top its head. Whats it gonna do, flail at me with its puny arms? Stretch its leg up to swat at me standing on one foot? Drop and roll over crushing me om its ba- oooooh wait a min.

Hmm. Maybe I find a way to tie its feet first and stab it and run immediatly before it crushes me.

The party, which was formed in 1971 and supports laissez-faire capitalism and civil liberties, is the third-largest American party by voter registration. Its website says: “Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference into their personal, family, and business decisions.”

There I fixed the atticle to be truthful.

I’m sorry but my suspension of disbelief is ruined because that hand is too large to be his.

My 1st thought is that we may need these minor fears to learn how to deal with fear itself and as part of developmemt they’ll likely just be a fraid of something different instead.

Not a bug exactly - they didn’t think it through. To see what I was talking about you’d need a very very old version. Like way back when it was new. It seemed the that it was the developers that didn’t know what a global hook was. They were just very obnoxious about it before finally seeing reason and correcting the behaviour. At the time, it woild fire for -every- global hook. To my knowledge you can mo longer reproduce this, but the reaction they had to someone trying to suggest this wasn’t right was enough for me to never go near anything under thier brand ever again.

The issue and why it wss stupid wasn’t that it was a hook, its that it was attributing it to any app you opened when by definition a global hook is GLOBAL - you do users no gppd by scarinh them into thinking every global hool is malware frpm whatever random thing they ran. Those alert even would trigger on windows notepad. There is no reasom amy comnination of iser options should do this.

That was piss poor design and they evenyually walked it ba k after months of defending it by implying users amd security researchers were stupid on their forum, simce deleted. Its not in the wayback machine or I’d show you. Thier “fans” dogpiled on the topic after thier staff replied condesdingly.

It also had options (framed as “levels” of ptotection) that would make more of those pop up prompts at completely nonsensical times about nonsense things - like declareing whatever you just tried to run was using a global hook. I had virtualdub up and opened windows notepad and it tried to tell me that virtualdub was using a global hook as if virtualdub was a threat.

In all my years in IT thats still im the top 10 dumbest things I’ve seen in software even all these years later.

Yes lets go right to pointing how linux lives and just completely ingore decades of history and the whole 1998 netscape mess.

Its not about simply being open source, its about the fediverse being the next to play the role of a forgotten company named spyglass in another round of the same old story. People are rightly worried that history will repeat and the 800lb gorrila that is big giant company here will use its bulk to screw over everyone else in the space.

Yeah I… wait what?? Toxic positivity…in youtube comments?!

Have I been transported to a parrellel universe where youtube comments aren’t a high 90’s % cesspit of the most vile personalities known to humankind? Does this mean I’m on the good timeline now? Is climate change still poised to make the world super uncomfortable and maybe deadly?

Yeah we’re kinda on the same page there, its just intent and what it evolves into later down the road tend to drift apart over time. A down buttom isn’t inherantly bad, but it seems inevitably mossed used by a large portion of users. And right now lemmy is taking in a mass influx of refugees from a place that -already- had large numbers of users doing so.

I didn’t try lemmy till like a week before all reddits recent drama. I wish I had found this ages ago. I actually found this via github instead of reddit! But once thay drama happened I knew a lot of folks would be looking for a replacement.

Hopefully I’m not comimg off as concern trolling. Things have worked as is for lemmy for some time. Best case scenario is the former reddit users get used to lemmy’s kinder culture and no systems adapt from it.

I disagree on it meaning there is nothing to stop toxic behavior though. If somethings truly toxic it has -always- taken action beyond a simple downvote to excise.

Yeah, that in itself is a major improvememt over every post and every i dividual having a “score”.
