it's such an unfunny joke I had to read it three times to even understand what she was trying to say

stop using chrome
or the genocide in Yemen, or his role as the deporter in chief, or that he engineered the largest transfer of wealth from the Black community to capital interests, or, or, or
who the fuck pays to watch ads. what a ludicrous proposition. that's the part that makes no sense to me.
we've got fewer active users but have an outsized post/comment count
ok, this has gone over my head. can you explain what she meant? her "joke" reads like a retreading of stale 
memes from /r/politics.
defederation is good for nazi and CSAM instances. no one should touch either with a 10ft pole. there's absolutely no reason to give them a larger platform.
Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.
just so we're all clear on the purpose of this bill.
I figured, it just had me 
contra's godawful takes on NB people / gender in general + her tendency to triple down when criticized really soured me on her content. it took all the fun out of the theater for me.
I appreciate Grafana going in the opposite direction and relicensing under the AGPL. it largely serves the same purpose but it provides a stronger guarantee for users.
yeah, Rs have already been bragging that they're going to use this to go after queer communities online.
yes, it's on purpose - we actively discourage lurking and encourage engaging with bad takes. the more you complain about it, the harder we go at it.
think the overall Lemmy experience has gone downhill since hexbear federated.
gay was reclaimed by gay people. do you see the difference?
because it's racist. learn to take mild criticism and adjust behavior. it's not hard and it's a basic part of living with other people.
calling retail workers "managers" was a ploy to get around giving them union benefits.
if you want to use Arch, just use Arch
it's sunk cost bias. I have this trying to use windows or macos, after using linux exclusively for half my life - everything feels foreign and frustrating, with an obnoxious amount of UX patterns you're expected to know in order to find anything. ugh, I could rant for hours on how obtuse macos is (mainly because I have to interact with it for work right now - if you force me to use windows, I'll rant about that too)
lmao of course the bootlicker clutches pearls over "trans ideology".
because this isn't reddit anymore and racism isn't the default position.
it's a joke about reddit's tendency towards racism and other bigotry, not the literal stormfront website.
obviously whether a take is bad or not depends on your politics. it's so obvious I'm surprised you'd bother pointing it out.
Y'all respond to criticism like kim jong un is standing right behind you lol
this isn't criticism. it's just a snide aside.
Also we aren't in hexbear right now
again, obviously.
use container tabs, not separate profiles. profiles are for installing separate sets of addons and the like.
if you asked questions in good faith, you'd know that the community is also aggressively welcoming to such people, even when we disagree. but you don't so you won't.
wait, no, this is how everyone does math. right? ...right?
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it's not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
it's about the platform and the majority membership, not a judgment of every community that exists there. there are quite obviously cool corners on reddit, but the platform as a whole defends bigotry as free speech, at an admin level.
the refuge of every bigot: "the people I'm being bigoted towards want power and control over me. it's pure projection.
sure, but I'm not convinced the people making the jokes care any more about civilian deaths, either.
being critical without being interested in the response is bad faith.
unfortunately other data is not encouraging , the number of servers is both down since the exodus and in the recent month.
this is normal. we'll go through a lot of similar waves. people start servers, realize they're a lot of work, and then abandon them. servers that foster a healthy community will survive. hexbear's worst cycle involved losing the entire administrative team just weeks after a large percentage of the website left. don't sweat the growing pains - work together to learn, grow, and change.
oh no, billionaire profits. anyway,,
this law requires positive proof with IDs. it's also going to be used by red states to go after online queer communities.
because the people doing the "reclaiming" aren't the targeted minority.
justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it's almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you're wrong.
a gift economy is also an exchange of goods but it's decidedly not capitalism - no one earns any profit and there's no flow converting money into capital and capital back into money.
no, I'm civilized. I use .tar.zstd
