Lol, clean your guns if you're getting jams. (The idea about jams is mostly a myth based on military personnel being told they didn't need to maintain early designs while fighting in a jungle.)
If you prefer AKs that's fine. It's also fine to own both but I think in the US an AR is more practical for most people if they can't afford both. There are also weird designs mixing the two or having one chambered in the others caliber.
In the US an AR is generally more affordable and more available. Parts and ammo for it also has more standardization and domestic production. In general it would be easier for most people to work on ARs. In other parts of the world an AK would be more common so more recommendable in my opinion. And the low end offerings there would be better than the low end offers on the US market. Where as you can still get a mostly decent AR for $600 in the US. If I got an AK I'd want to spend notably more than that to actually trust it.
The ammo/parts thing was more about how without domestic production there room for it to be affected by changes to import laws or sanctions.
Personally I'm not worried about using something that some other group seems to like. I want what's practical and fits my needs. There is a reason ARs are so common today. They're just good and can be built/modified to fit a lot of people or use cases. If I really wanted something different just to be different I'd get something like a vz 58 or some kind of space gat. It's still kinda hard for me to justify the expense for that kind of reason and I have to rein it in a bit as I kinda want all the things.
I agree. One clear example is banning someone for participating on a community the mod doesn’t like. Admins should learn from reddit’s mistakes and limit what mods can and can’t do.
Then you will be disappointed, because from my pov getting Karma is very easy ,I was talking about how the mods can take you at the verge of perma ban just by banning you from their subreddit,you can’t even access to that site and you will be Permanently banned from both accounts. mods Removed what ever they wanted to which did not matched their opinion even if the comment was in right subreddit and right thread.
I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod, or downvoted into irrelevance by a circle jerk. We need to be able to point out that the Emperor isn’t wearing clothes.
Well except for those who are here because of a bullshit Reddit ban, but my attitude towards that is “You can’t fire me I quit”
We’re free of the mundanes, I can say what I want as long as I’m not being toxic af! No auto-moderator is going to flag me for using “Ableist Langauge” because I can’t keep with what terms have and haven’t been considered “problematic”
I mean, the word “retard”, obviously (God what places on the Corpo Net can you say THAT word nowadays?), that’s not cool to say. But seriously I had one auto-mod flag me for saying “crazy” because it was “offensive to the mentally unwell”
Bitch I’m bi-polar and literally autistic, I AM mentally unwell, I think I have an n-word pass in this instance… Not that I should need one to say “crazy”
Does karma change that? We still have upvotes and downvotes, and you can sort comments by how well they do, and mods can still ban people not only from a community, but from a whole instance.

There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don’t approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.
Can site policies even affect that? From my understanding Lemmy/kbin is all decentralized unlike subreddits, so anyone can make and host their page for anyone and the only limit is legality and if they’re not black listed by other instances
Ugh… I remember the “Sorry you have been banned from…” messages, it was amusing when I was banned from subreddits I hadn’t heard of.
Thing is Reddit policies are supposed to make it so you can’t be banned from one subreddit for your reputation or behavior in another, I actually told a mod this and he just laughed at me.
I did this with a Brazilian tinder hook up once. She told me to be careful. I’m serious. It’s on video. She said, “cuidado, amor.” Then I messed up, and she queefed and got mad at me 🤷♂️
