  • The lemmy.world admins did that with hexbear and received some backlash for being "overzealous and trigger happy." This is one of those scenarios where the admins will always receive criticism for the timing of their actions. There will always be some who believe it's premature and/or an overstep and others who believe it's a long overdue action bordering on "negligence." They're damned if they do, damned if they don't.

    Frankly, I believe that if the best time to do something was yesterday, then the next best time to do it will always be today. And that's what's happened here.

  • Why do you want to believe it’s not credible?

    You answered your own question with that phrasing. They don’t have any evidence, if they did they would’ve posted it already, they just want to believe it isn’t.

  • westernjournal(dot)com is not a credible source.

    Analysis / Bias

    The Western Journal is a news and opinion website with a story selection that always favors the right and is negative toward the left. There is the frequent use of moderately loaded language in headlines such as this: The Clinton State Department’s Major Security Breach That Everyone Is Ignoring. The Western Journal typically sources its information from credible media outlets, though story selection and wording usually spin information favorably to the right. They have also failed several fact checks.

    Finally, during the 2020 Presidential election, they have promoted misinformation. They also consistently promote misinformation regarding Covid-19 and vaccines. See failed fact check below.

  • so we’ll just get teams that are always threatening to become bankrupt, dragging down the rest of the league.

    At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if by the 2024-2025 season Arizona's gonna be splitting rink time with beer leaguers.

  • Voting, commenting, sharing content and news articles in relevant communities nearly ever day. Reporting spam. So basically, just actively participating.

    I'm still using reddit (desktop only) until they shut down old.reddit. That's been my line in the sand ever since the redesign was launched. So whenever possible I do my best to recommend lemmy and/or explain how it works to anyone interested because I think Lemmy would appeal to most redditors. The problem is the average person has it in their head that the fediverse is a lot more complicated than it actually is. Everything can be learned as you go. Which is exactly how I learned the ropes on reddit 12 years ago. But since so many people insist on having their hand held I'll jump in to help out when I can.

  • Yep, we're about six months away from Elon Musk personally hawking snake-oil diet supplements and survivalist gear to doomsday preppers a lá Alex Jones. Heck, once Alex Jones' bankruptcy proceedings are finished, Elon can just buy out his stock, cross out Info and sell them as "ElonWars Supplements."

  • Yeah, I don't think there's any way he could handle 7-8 other people on the stage at once anymore. That's way too much going on for his dementia addled mind to keep up. But he's also just a cowardly little shit so he'll refuse to debate Biden next year too.

  • It's a Lumpy pillow Michael, how much could it possibly cost? $79.98?

  • lol wut? No. I didn’t say anything remotely close to that.
