"bad actors" simply means "unpopular or politically incorrect opinions". Fuck that.

You mean the exact same stuff that’s on Reddit, often copied directly from Reddit?

No. We mean all the stuff that Lemmy gets that Reddit either doesn't get at all or gets a day later than Lemmy.

“Trump bad! Look at this latest bad thing Elong did!” posts a day is not quality content

This bad thing that Trump did looks like very worthwhile content.

Give it another year or two and we’ll have some website that tallies the karma of lemmy users. Clout is an insidious disease that grows like a social cancer.

It has already happened with this piece of cancer.

Find people who have low karma

When someone is consistently getting downvoted it’s likely they are a problem. PieFed provides a list of accounts with low karma, sorted by lowest first. Clicking on their user name takes you to their profile which shows all their posts and comments in one place. Every profile has “Ban” and “Ban + Purge” buttons that have instance-wide effects and are only visible to admins.

but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.

It almost doesn't matter though because we know rando-bans are a common thing on reddit. Just because some are getting legit bans does not mean that there are not many others getting rando-bans.

Billionaires are not bourgeoisle. Bourgeoisie means "middle class". When Lenin targeted the bourgeosie he was targeting the middle class, not the billionaires.

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons.

Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.

Try Usenet then.

To jump go to ur profile and hit export then make a new account in a different instance and do import.

Wow didn't know you could do this.

I modded about 30 sub’s, mostly niche subs just to keep the spam and hate speech at a minimum.

Then you were doing it right. Thank you for your service. But there were lots of bad mods passing out rando-bans left and right.

"Move Fast and Break Things" for government translates to...

Move fast to give billionaires gigantic tax cuts and break Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

It is extremely important for people to stand up to Trump. Everyone from European nations to US federal workers to media outlets to members of congress should be opposing Trump's bullying to the maximum extent.

He promised a move left, while Harris promised a move right. They were not running the same campaign.

Nope. The Harris platform was more to the left than Biden. She was going to impose additional taxes on corporations and billionaires that went beyond Biden.

She played the same plays as Hilary: I’m not Trump. I’ll save democracy. Israel is cool.

Even though Hilary always had a bunch of Muslim women in the background of all her crowds and identity politics helped sink her campaign.

Trump and the GOP raised taxes on most middle class income groups in 2017, according to the official congressional JCT analysis.

Let it burn and be replaced by a workers party that represents us.

That went horribly wrong in Russia. It turned out Lenin and Stalin didn't represent anybody besides themselves. And their main targets weren't people on the right, it was the other 2 socialist parties, the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks.

Yep. Every time I hear Jeffries talk I am thinking "shut the fuck up and go fetch AOC".

Every time the Democrats lose, since Reagan won, they move right because they think they lost because they weren’t conservative enough.

That was true thru Obama but it stopped with Biden. Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ, even though Dem voters could have chosen even more progressive candidates.

Gee, it’s almost as if all that bribe money ehhem I mean campaign finance donations have corrupted and shackled the Dems into consistently losing strategies.

They would be getting 3x more money if they had consistently winning strategies.

Unloading garbage nonsense that has the occasional inflammatory rhetoric is exciting.

Oh I agree that the #1 problem is that Harris needed to use way more aggressive rhetoric against Traitorapist Trump.

Harris initially said she was going to "prosecute" the case against Traitorapist Trump but then never did anything like that. All she had to do to win was use way more aggressive rhetoric. She never used the phrase "Convicted Criminal Trump" or "Treason Trump" She never used the phrase "legally certified rapist Trump". She never pointed out that Trump hates the Free World and freedom and democracy. She never reminded voters that Trump had a 29% approval rating at the end of his term. She never pointed out that Trump is very disloyal to our longstanding core values. She never reminded people that Ted Cruz said that Trump "lies practically ever word that comes out of his mouth".

Dems NEED much more aggressive candidates. No more of that business as usual shit.
