Technically he’s barred from office per the 14th amendment.

Technically is great until it’s ignored.

The two worst reactions that I saw were gaming and NFL. You’re right that most of the subs were fine. It’s the big ones that were addictive to a point I didn’t realize until something happened.

Some of my favorite subs would have a total meltdown, like end of the world shit, because it closed for 24 hours. Then when the app bans happened, there were the blackouts and once again, people were angry at the audacity of the mods not being submissive.

They want their content above literally anything else. Take it away for a moment and their entire world collapses. And when you see the all consuming, brain-dead, content they were viewing, AND THE IMPORTANCE THEY PUT ON IT, it’s no wonder why they have the reputation they do. That was very sobering.

I think even 10 years ago Reddit was a lot bigger. The niche subs still had some traction. Like, Morrowind there 10 years ago had more stuff than the Elder Scrolls community here does. (I could be misremembering, but that feels right.)

BUT you’re right that it wasn’t endless filler back then. There was an end, and then you were done.

What I hate about Lemmy is the lack of content in semi-specific communities.

What I love about Lemmy is that there’s so much less content overall. I run out of content and I log off. Reddit was a bottomless pit.

Banning 3rd party apps was the tipping point for me. Their official app is shit.

No. It could create a security breach. It DOES pose a security risk.

So, similar to the non-conforming clothing bill that was changed to be obscene clothing because the former was blatantly unconstitutional (although I’m surprised they didn’t want the fight).

Except that was targeted at everyone (specifically drag, but all ages) where this targets kids. So I’m guessing the argument is “child abuse”.

It’s ridiculous that Biden wasn’t celebrated for avoiding a recession in the U.S. when there was a global recession and analysts were certain we were going to have one here.

They’re literally calling all black, women, and/or LGBT employees unqualified. The NFL is removing “End Racism” from their messaging ahead of the Super Bowl. Companies are apologizing for previously providing safe, inviting, workplace environments.

It kinda feels like we’re past the dogwhistle. If low information “moderates” were going to act outraged, it would be now. I’m not sure what else they could do but change the actual constitution to remove the protection. But the courts can overrule the constitution anyways, so even that’s kind of happened already.

I’m waiting for the moderate conservatives to get offended that the NFL thinks they’re SO FUCKING RACIST that “end racism” is considered controversial.

I think you need an extra zero in there.

I appreciate the support. I actually do post in those situations. And when I say there isn’t a Lemmy equivalent, I mean those communities are dead.

I just like to see what other people’s reactions are, and I like to see some of other people’s content from time to time. Also, I don’t mind supporting those subs that stood up to the 3rd party app purge.

I have an account for a few specific subs (that shut down during the strike) that don’t have Lemmy equivalents. But I really don’t browse. The only time I get on there is to check reactions to big events (football games, new movies, etc). And even then it’s pretty rare.

Soon they’ll make sexual partners register with the state or straight up make premarital sex illegal. And anyone found breaking the law (i.e. women getting pregnant) will go to jail.

What’s wrong with more favorable views of China?

We’re both malevolent

What she did was give the right a shiny object to yell at. That’s it.

Which way did he write it?

In case anyone doesn’t know, “can’t eat your cake and have it too” is the correct order because once you eat it it’s gone and you can’t have it.

I don’t know. I stopped watching with The Final Chapter. And then they came back with 3 or 4 more after that.

VI involved health insurance executives who are directly responsible for countless deaths going through the “games”.

“For some reason, Israel has started killing more Americans. I’m sure punishing Palestinians more will stop them.”
