The NDP has spent generations whining about the Liberals campaigning to the left, and governing to the right, but every time they come to power they do the same fucking shit.

It's rank hypocracy.

As per usual, the "free speech on someone else's dime" folks think the people running the forums they feel entitled to shouldn't have actual moderation tools. Shocking.

Once upon a time, people overseeing web forums used to have the ability to move posts, split topics, and even shunt comment chains into other, exising posts. But all Reddit allows is to delete, and so this space that apes some of the worst bits about Reddit thinks they shouldn't do any better than the lowest of fucking low bars.

They gotta be serving up what she's cooking. I hope all of her seditious bullshit is plastered on every newspaper, televison show, YouTube video, and Facebook feed in the country right up until election day

"We will need to ensure that Canada can succeed in a drastically different world," Carney said. "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military co-operation is over."

I have been waiting 30 years to hear this. I want to believe this.

We shouldn't have let ourselves become dependent on them in the first place, but some business owners in the 80s got hella rich, so... I guess it was worth it /s

Reddit would refuse to accept (error out) or act like it accepted and then just outright delete my comments

Oh, this is pretty standard behaviour on the site in general these days. It's just a broken mess made by an incompetent company. Their front-end regularly silently disconnects from their backend all of the damn time.

For the most part it's not censorship, it's just a badly broken website that doesn't give a shit about its users' experience, because it doesn't see anything else as real competition.

Established users, too. I'm still active on Reddit, just much less so than I used to be. And a lot of the biggest promoters of the Fediverse are still active there, doing what they can to promote Lemmy- and Mastodon-based sites.

It's like someone showed him a plastic toy mallet and it's the only tool he's aware of in his toolbox.

Ah, he thinks choosing to take our balls and play with each other, rather than him, is against the rulesv I see. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Like, I know this is what Poutin planned to happen, but what does Donny Dorko here think the end result is going to be?

Bingo.

You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, but you can bust skulls over the rank hypocracy of the tech CEOs.

It's been a long time coming. Their "American Exceptionalism" thing has been leading this way for decades now. They're just not smart enough anymore to keep their fart sniffing and xenophobic comments among themselves anymore.

A life time of doing nothing while expecting something.

Because they're voicing their opinions on social media, not at the dinner table.

PMs are always technically appointed, but are chosen based on a vote by Members of Parliament. But also we just kicked off a general election yesterday, so shrug.

What makes you think he thinks Trump is going to call him? He was just asked a question by the press.

Probably 2, 6, or 7. I've always loved the V5/V7, but the liquid ink is messy, a bic is a classic for a reason, and the PaperMate flair has been my go-to felt-tip for a long time now. Though, the ultra-fine version is much better for writing than the medium one.

Content aggregators are not forums. Just having categories doesn't really cover it. CAs are designed so that old posts fall away quickly, so that people will keep posting new top level content and keep people emgaged in the constant scroll, much like Twitter or Facebook. They are largely unstructured, with different "categories" behaving quasi-independently from one another.

Forums are structured spaces where the same people post stuff to the same categories, that are mostly offshoots of the forum's core theme.

People interact with and behave rather differently in these different contexts.

It's harder to see on a large Lemmy instance like LW, but most of the fediverse is very patchwork. The network of Lemmy sites is itself very patchwork, with the MLs, Hexbear, Beehaw, NSFW, etc. all having different defederation profiles, but the whole space is an incomplete mesh. Mastodon has more themed instances than Lemmy, more very small instances than Lemmy, and a much bigger anti-capital, anti-commerce bent than Lemmy, with many more people complaining on main about other instances rules and federation policies, so if you look, you can really see it.

But the whole fedi project is patchwork by nature.

Most of these communuties using Discord are better served by something that isn't a chatroom. So, so, so confusingly many of them use them as a store of permanent information. Like a website+forum.

Many times the benefit of Discord is the ability to paywall parts of it with Patreon integration. We need more foss and federated options that do this.
