Jfc, here it goes, jackasses spamming political shit everywhere.
Edit: Maybe people don’t realize it, but every fucking election cycle for the US, you get this shit. It isn’t the actual politically obsessed people that are the problem, though they don’t help.
It isn’t the bullshit two party slap fighting that’s the problem, but it definitely makes it possible.
It’s the fucking manipulative jackasses stirring pots for their own gain/plan that are the problem.
It’s the amplification of the stupidity that every partisan dick swinging already engages in that allows the outside manipulating to occur and fade into the background, it’s the reason the US is particularly vulnerable to this kind of propaganda warfare.
I don’t know if the particular idiot that posted this lame, dumb shit is just another jackass braying about their perceived enemy, or if it’s a branch of the usual suspects that target reddit, Facebook, twitter, and every other forum out there come election time.
But here’s what I do know. If a given C/ or subreddit bans the politics during election year, you end up with a fuck ton less drama in your forum. You end up with a lot less fake posts by fake accounts over time as well because good moderation actively prunes away the fakes.
And it’s necessary because if there isn’t direct and comprehensive resistance to the bullshit, a given community can get taken over fast.
So, don’t be a jackass. Don’t dump political shit like this everywhere, and it at least minimizes the problem. Keep stupidity like this to places that are directly political.
Sorry but I find it challenging to fully grasp the linguistic intricacies prevalent among individuals in Alabama. The nuances of their language and communication style present a unique complexity that requires a deeper understanding.
The Biden administration says it’s willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian
A) That’s a very uncharitable interpretation of the administration’s policies
B) I think it SHOULD be the stated aim of the administration
When your adversary makes a mistake this big you make them pay for it. If you can make them pay using an eager third party, you definitely help them out. It’s a win/win.
Unfortunately your country lacks the nerve to remain the hegemonic power, and will suffer the consequences.
And the Ukrainians are left trying to fight off a former superpower holding their dicks in their hands because Joe can’t get them munitions.
Honestly one of my favorite things about Lemmy being relatively small/niche. So easy to block the nuisance users and communities and just move on with your life.

US election year means a lot of political memes to try to make each side look more popular than it actually is. If you can fake grassroots support, that helps a lot for the election.
which is what happened with frostpunk for me. i made it through the main story once, and bought it and the DLCs at full price. 5 years after it came out.
I test the games because most of the time it’s buggy shit, or AAA games. Few gems here and there and I will pay for them when I know they are good. The 2 hour refund which isn’t enough imo…games are designed to be trash after the 2 hours tbh…or at least don’t show the trash until after the 2 hour mark.
There has been a few times where I even had to refund after purchasing because the ‘totally legit edition’ actually worked, whereas the DRM filled trash didn’t.
he loves this trick. it's how crap got (and gets) added to windows, was doing it back when gates was running the show too. one little bit at a time. a lot of companies pull this shit.
when companies go overboard, reactions like from reddit api or unity pricing changes (recent examples) happen.
