But when has a large company like Meta cared about its employees?

You pretty much nailed it. A company like Meta would never fail to maximize their profit, even if the result is detrimental to employees and/or users. Facebook is demonstrably detrimental to society in general, yet they don't care - gotta profit more and more for the stockholders, consequences be damned.

Oh yeah, I love whataboutisms! They're absolutely a valid way to... deflect from the topic actually being discussed.

Man, someone here has been guzzling propaganda and ignoring tons of evidence, much of it on video, to the contrary. But yes, tell us more about how Israel's many broken agreements to not expand colonists into Palestinian territory is "just protecting their border".

I always laugh when people fall over themselves trying to claim Israel isn't an apartheid state. It's basically matches the textbook definition of an apartheid state at this point. Even the many Israelis with a conscience call it out as an apartheid state. There's no legitimate uncertainty there, only propaganda, lies, and ignorance.

I think some of the reading-comprehension-challenged crowd would do well if we brought back youse as the plural of you.

I hate that you're right. Not because of you, but because the situation is ridiculous.

It's bread and circuses. Now they can tell their supporters that they tried but "those darn Republicans kept it from happening! Vote harder next time and we'll make it happen!"

When the Democrats next have a majority across the board, they'll have some convenient reason they can't reintroduce the bill. They've followed this pattern for decades. Democrats are the 'good cop', Republicans are the 'bad cop', but they're all 'cops'. They're ultimately on the same team and serve the same interests - those of the rich.

As a former mod, I understand why some mods used automatic bans. I modded a few moderate sized subs and noticed posting trends in other subs amongst troublemakers. "For some reason", many active posters in r/TheDonald, r/Conservative, and similar subs were far more likely to be offensive or hurtful and didn't have much that was interesting, helpful, or constructive to say. Certainly nothing valuable enough to tolerate their shit. When we'd temporarily block one of them for name calling or other personal attacks, we'd get messages ad nauseam claiming we had violated their first amendment rights, that they were going to find and harm us in some way, or just a bunch of further name calling and personal attacks. I had two try to dox me. Poorly. They weren't very bright.

With that being said, we didn't use auto bans because they're chickenshit. Yeah, they would save us a fair amount of time and aggravation, but they'd also ban people like you and me, who may have told some Nazis to fuck off or explained, line by line, how the latest thing Joe Rogan or Bench Appearo shit out their mouth was exactly that: shit. If you're going to mod a community, it's kind of what you sign up for. If you can't handle it, then quit or get more backup. Don't ruin it for others because you can't or don't want to deal with the unpleasant aspects of the job.

Because generally the only way idiots can make a point is by making shit up.

I'm guessing they'll claim it lacks sufficient evidence for it's efficacy and call it experimental.

The best part about having a background in statistics is watching people who don't understand statistics try to explain why the math that doesn't support their point actually does, somehow.

We just need to cut that part off. Sorry Facebook, Amazon, Google, et al.

Excuse me, that study only examined 140,219 patients. You'll need WAY more, at least one million, to argue against the anecdotal opinion of a random, unspecified 'medical professional'.

/s so hard

I can't decide if using a picture of a tattoo on Reddit as a 'source' is better or worse than a YouTube video with a crazy, ranting flat earther, which is what I see most often.

"Hamas was found to have bombed the hospital" aka all evidence points to Israel bombing the hospital, including a now deleted tweet from Netanyahu's aide stating the IDF bombed the hospital, but we're supposed to believe the 'analysis' of the group that constantly lies about their killing civilians.

Riiiiiight.

Same. I check Lemmy once or twice a day and comment less than on Reddit by far. I still feel more satisfied than I ever did on Reddit and I enjoy the community much more.

Haha, are you using liftoff too? It's fast in liftoff but regular speed in the browser for me.

Turbo Tax is gonna be pissed. Good, fuck them.

It's the corn, isn't it?
