How terrible do you have to be for that collection of terrible people to throw you out of their hate group?

I personally agree with this list. But, we have to be pragmatic here. This is what CNBC says they did:

"The study measures quality of life issues including crime, health care, childcare and health care, as well as inclusive policies on discrimination and reproductive rights."

See, the last two skew this study. People in these shit hole states (not all, but at least enough of the voting public) don't want inclusive policies or reproductive rights. So, to them, this metric is backwards. They would argue that living in California or New York was way more terrible because of the brown people and gays.

This isn't exactly a scientific study. It's taking objective data to reach a subjective conclusion. Neat headline though.

Edit: many if them are arguing exactly that in this thread. With a nice dose of racism and misogyny thrown in. Nice. I love when shit comes full circle.

That, I suppose.

But, they're manuputing content, posting propaganda, brigading the votes in every thread.

Go read their comments, it's a real classy group.

Ha, here's a reply I got from their moderator:

Go and eat shit fed to you by your US masters as Europe crumbles, you pathetic eunuch.

Their most active user also posts "news" and "politics" all over Lemmy, all day, every day.

How do you appear in every single thread bitching about liberals? You know your people have safe zones? Why not just go there.

Grab yourself a hot little Truth Social ™ account and you can rant about brown people and LGBTQ people all you want. Nobody will complain.

Come on, it'll be fun. Y'all can compare truck flags.

Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.

I came to Lemmy and Mastodon today instead of Twitter and Reddit. So far, the experience has been positive.

Aw yeah, poppinKREAM.

Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you've been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.

Next week

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it's 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

Not projectile, radio frequencies. More like a jamming/blocking device than a firearm.

This seems like a reliable source /s

Was Lemmy just a MAGA and Lemmygrad shit show before the Reddit people got here?

So, if I understand... You're upset people are talking about climate change?

We shun people who say stupid, uninformed, homophobic, racist, conspiratorial nonsense. Not differing "opinions". There's a difference champ.

Too bad proxy wars don't count

It's definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

First day, checking in. So far, so good.

Lol, oh good, they've seen this. I forgot to mention, they also brigade. 5 downvotes in 5 minutes.

They mean your feelings, not their feelings.

Who is this guy? I went to his Telegram and he claims to be a volunteer journalist reporting from the front lines?

He's reporting an awful lot of troop movements that the others aren't. DeepState UA shows no update in this area.

So, is this guy just way better connected than ISW and DeepState? Is he compromising opsec? Or, is this incorrect?

Lay it on us then. You've brought such riveting commentary so far about "jew propaganda", so why don't you educate us all?

Huh, usually when someone posts dumb shit like this they're purposely trolling. But you seem to just be genuinely oblivious. Good on ya buddy.

Does that mean if we keep downloading downvoting you you'll leave?

If anyone actually knows how video within the Fediverse works, please share..

I've been trying to figure out and I'm struggling.

There's @peertube, @owncast, @tilvids

But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how it works

Oh good, exploding heads and lemmygrad everywhere. Got a sign up link? That sounds like a disaster

Eh, they have a bunch of alts too. They're not just on lemmygrad.

Do it...

I'll subscribe.

Germany to present $770 million package for Ukraine, including new Patriots

Or Stone

Brilliant

I hope not. You seem okay so far.

I'm more annoyed they're intermingled. The small userbase here isn't posting enough to fill a feed, but the bots do make things weird.

If you're in a news community, politics, tech space, etc. it can be pretty annoying to have both bots and users posting. Maybe if it was a news community that was only bots or no bots, that would be an improvement.

Can someone smarter than me please explain how the posts cross over from Mastodon to Lemmy?

I've really been trying to figure it out, but I'm coming up blank every time.

I left Reddit for Lemmy a month ago.

The comments in politics communities around here do not live up to Reddit's yet. Close sometimes.

This comment is the first time I've actually laughed. Brilliant. I actually went at read the article just because of this comment. Cheers.

Also, comments on his telegram as suspect af.

They claim his comments have been restricted. And that "he's the only one telling the truth".

I'm calling shenanigans here.

Tbf, they deserved it. What I said is true. They are posting lies and propaganda all over Lemmy.

Yep. It is. That's sorta the point though. "Worst" is subjective. Personally? I'd never move to one of those 10 places. But, a lot of them think that the lack of reproductive rights is a good thing, not a bad thing.

I don't think that... But, a lot of folks in America do.

Honestly? I'd avoid the meme names. Meal Team 6, Y'allquadea, Gravy Seals, Infowarriors, Chair Force.

That shit was funnier in 2017 when it wasn't quite as dangerous. I don't have a creative suggestion, unfortunately. But I suppose that's my advice.
