Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

We found the thin skinned tankie.

just ‘dirting the waters’, as peeps say

Nice try, but no.

Wow, it is refreshing to see someone recognize being mistaken, accept the correction, and be thankful to have learned something, so thank you as well.

Ah yes the generation that wasn’t even worth naming so they gave us a placeholder.

Growing up Gen X in the US was watching a slow motion train wreck where you’re able to see the causes, current wreck, and even look down the road to the future repercussions but everything you do or try to make things better for everyone is ignored, co-opted, or sidelined by the monolithic boomer voting bloc. And all the while you’re being gaslit by the beneficiaries of the current shitshow selling you an American Dream that never was true and hasn’t been remotely attainable since you joined the workforce.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

You could do better (worse)

Granite that I agree with the sediment.

So it will get here with fusion, flying cars, hydrogen cars, and jetpacks?

Yesh, and knock ot off with the avacado toast! Amiright?

Many of us are trapped by the choices of our Fox-brainwashed elderly population.

The absolutely morally bankrupt and spoiled boomers dominating the voting population with blind allegiance and rising evengelicism over the last 50 years got us here. Basically, the most self centered and selfish generation in modern American history is hell bent on fucking every generation that follows them.

A lot of us have chosen and chosen and chosen otherwise in futility. Even when we’ve had the opportunity for progress it was tempered by trying to appease the other party; in the name of bipartisanship we get a neutered health care plan that still has grift built directly into the system.

Sure they did, Rick.

Went looking for an answer to your question and found this which I did not know was a use for benadryl (well, the active ingredient anyway).

Usual Adult Dose for Insomnia

Now something must be done?

Fuck. Gen X shit on by boomers. Now we’re shit on by the generations after us.

As a resident I would like to refute this claim.

I can’t. But I would like to.

Try reading Blaine’s FB page and then imagine the only way to be rid of him was his retirement, and knowing he’ll likely be replaced with the same or worse.

Can’t wait to get my family back out of this shithole state. KC, StL, Columbia, and Springfield are ok but the rest of the state are loud and proud white trash MAGATS steadily voting to fuck over the population centers where all the atate funds come from.

This state is so bad the only way we see progress is with ballot initiatives where gerrymanderign can’t defeat the popular vote. And guess what the MO house and senate are working on right now. Yep, making ballot initiatives harder to pass.

Saint Louis has been held back as a city for decades because StL city is in StL county and is prone to the state legislature’s fuckery. Like when StL raised the minimum wage for the city. State blocked it because…they could.

The governmental structure of the City of St. Louis is unusual in the United States. Since 1876, St. Louis has been an independent city, meaning it is not part of any county. St. Louis operates as both a city and a county. St. Louis is the only city in Missouri which operates its own “county” offices. St. Louis is a home rule city, but it is not a home rule county, thus county functions and offices are subject to state restrictions on county governments.

Drinking bleach will stop you from getting any disease, too, but we’re not suggesting harmful things to strangers on the internet, right?

they wonder why young people are leaving in droves.

Probably because they belong in a venn diagram with estranged parents that don’t know why their kids have gone no contact.

Or maybe don’t try to shoe horn the issue in as a non-sequitor and take umbrage when called out?

stringere ,

I want what they’re on.

stringere ,

It is 100% you bringing your own agenda without regard or consideration for the discussion at hand. You’re not trying to add to the discussion by jumping in and championing your cause without reading the room.

stringere ,

Oh, it’s not that at all. You just come off as very holier than thou the way you shove into and escalate the discussion without regard for others, but great job capturing some attention.

stringere ,

The thing is, I agree with you about the suffering of animals.

You’re just a sanctimonious self important prick trying to flaunt your imagined moral superiority as some kind of bullshit purity test as to whether people care about animals.

Have fun with that, don’t stop to wonder why people walk away.

stringere ,

Oh good, so Google has stopped all political donations and canceled all government contracts so they can stay out politics?

No? Ok fuck you.

stringere ,

Be better

The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system.

It’s easy not to trust a system associated with charging you $500 for Tylenol. Much easier (and occasionally even safer) to just smell some lavender and hope that helps. Go to an ED and you could just die of a stroke or heart attack in the waiting room or even get run over by somebody who died of a heart attack while driving...

stringere ,

And that’s just one example.

The most glaring generator of mistrust for decades now is the thing citizens discuss all the time but is never addressed: our out of control military budget.

We could solve every one of our country’s financial issues multiple times over by reducing the military budget, and not even drastically so.

Our military was tasked with an audit to reign in waste and spending. They couldn’t pass an audit so they were just given a free pass, no penalties or repercussions. The first audit was 2017 and they failed to pass. They failed two more since then. Senator Sanders intoruduced a bill in 2021 and again in 2023 which required an audit and was supposed to impose penalties for failure, it’s been introduced so we’ll see how that goes.

Just wait until you or someone close develops an autoimmune disease, then the trust meter falls off a cliff during round after round of tests and “you’re fine”.

Or if you have a bunion that skews your big toe 35° but they tell you it’s not bad enough for surgery and there’s nothing to be done for it.

Or…yeah we could be here all day just for the system’s failings for me and my wife.

And there’s our lack of or inadequate mental health coverage and care.

stringere ,

Thank you for that.

I’ve long thought we need a non-military service branch much like you describe and for much the same resson.

In my experience it isn’t just “rich” kids but anyone that grows up with minimal adversity and exposure to people outside their immediate (sheltered) bubble that are really hard to work alongside. Anyone who hasn’t been told “no” enough to understand the world doesn’t cater to them, really.

stringere ,

the facts of reality that I’ve already stated

But you never stated facts or reality.

You’re trying to argue that races exist as something other than social constructs.

Different Races for humans have no genetic or biological basis. Period.

Blonde is not a race. Brown eyed is not a race. Brown skin is not a race. And on and on

stringere ,

Also, hello Piped bot.

Yo

stringere ,

That is an amazing idea!

We should make a site where people can set up their own internet homepage. Each person can have their own space on the internet! To give the users a sense of ownership let’s call it MySpace.

I think my friend Tom will help design the site.

stringere ,

Well said, even if you are the grossest of schnapps.

stringere OP ,

Digital dadaism?

stringere ,

or else they turn words that we could previously use just fine into slurs

/gestures the “ok” hand sign

Like that?

stringere ,

Welcome. I wasn’t trying to stir the pot, just lookin’ out for a fellow linguaphile.

That’s a thing? Ugh
