Sure glad they tackled this "issue" instead of housing, jobs, pollution, infrastructure, trade, etc.

Filing that info for later, thanks!

It probably would be if not for qualified immunity for police officers. I'm not a lawyer but I'm not holding my breath on the officers or judge facings consequences for this heinous act.

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP

It's my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

Now I just need Merry to put a hand on my shoulder and tell me "I don't think they know about fourth once-in-a-lifetime financial crises."

Or when you spell a word and there's no red squiggly line to say it's spelled wrong but you swear that's not how it's supposed to look. Then add random letters to the end to test if the spellcheck is working and it confirms you spelled it right the first time.

As a millennial I think this is number three... Maybe four?

I've seen a handful switching to Substack as well. I've been experimenting with that platform lately and I like the post editor, lots of tools but not overly bloated, it's pretty good. My only complaint so far has been that a lot of History/Academic Substacks seem to be pushing for the paid tier and so hide a lot of their posts behind a paywall Patreon style. Because of that Mastodon has been my favorite since the Twitter exodus.

I'm so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We're not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn't try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

Maybe they were denied as a Wikipedia admin? lol

The rare quadruple down on the dumb. Calling a lemmy community a subreddit is not a metaphor, it's objectively wrong. No matter how many non-applicable examples you provide. How are you this dense? (That's rhetorical btw)

Because people like me have an interest in having people like you be a little less self-righteous.

lmfao the projection of writing this at the end of the most self righteous comment I've read on lemmy yet is delicious.

Trying to say calling a Lemmy community a subreddit is a metaphor lmao

Also, you came back to the comments without getting a notification to reply to the edit? Dude, go outside lol

Hey, Salt and Straw flavors are delicious. Their bone marrow ice cream is my favorite but they made it a seasonal flavor only during October now. They used to have it year round 😞

This post didn't get any love so I'll just comment this is neat, thanks for sharing!

This isn't about their political views in particular, this is about them brigading comment sections and derailing from the original topic and shouting down anybody who disagrees.

Defederation because of political views is, frankly, dangerous for democracy.

What? This is such a ridiculous claim I'm not even sure where to start. Federation does not equal democracy, and defederation from a shitty spammy instance has zero impact on democracy.

Hell yeah, always love an anti-doomer meme.

This post is from RT, about Ukraine/Russia/Belarus but the biggest thread in here is rehashing the Iraq occupation. Can we just discuss the original topic? Is that so hard?

This is why so many instances defederate from hexbear, they do this in every comment section. Just turn it into whataboutism against the US, and add nothing to the topic that's actually being discussed by the article. They're basically lemmygrad but brigade comment sections more often.

Edit: You ever see somebody say something dumb and then they unabashedly double down? Yeah.
