Yes but nothing as bad as the Raddle guy. He sent me over 300 DMs over the course of an hour because I called out his deranged sockpuppet website. So far, the world guys just seem to get drunk and mad or do vote manipulation
This kind of offbeat FOSS social media stuff can't replace the major social media monopolies anyways, it serves a different purpose. People just need a backup and evasion from the US finance-tech-military cartel. If you try and put the screws on people who came to you looking for a better option, they'll just flee. Nothing that can be done about the propaganda and advertising though & I reckon it is a bigger issue than the petty harassment and powermodding, which is mostly just deranged roleplaying
USA is the only country that can enact unilateral sanctions on others. It controls the world's financial system since it absorbed the colonial empires as a result of WWII (I am heavily bowlderizing and abridging this watch the dang videos they're long sorry)
I think that if the lemmy.world people want to wall themselves off and take over their digital fiefdom it will make people take the artificial public opinion less seriously, the way most older lemmy users outgrew reddit. It seems like something they do to reassure themselves. Then again, this network & Mastodon etc are well-known to intelligence contractors. If they had no presence posting + voting here they wouldn't be doing their jobs.
I'm not Muslim either, but I am sincere when I return your salaam :)
Was raised secular protestant, I didn't even get interested in the history of religion until the past couple years led me to delve into monetary history. Now I feel like I've been missing out on all the driving forces of ancient history and getting treated to glorified trivia
You're already welcome to repost anything of mine and I'm interested to learn about that community as well, so thanks for mentioning it
Leaving this as a mental note to explain how the tech capitalists in the US work because it's a pretty exceptional situation, also will answer the question about Islamic warfare in the other thread. It's just like 1:30 am here lol
Nah this is an extreme view. Just consider the difference between your average Latino Catholic and your average Whitoid Evangelical. It's apples to oranges.
The dude seems to have literally dozens of reply guy accounts with thousands of comments and no link submissions. Starting to think there may be a smidgeon of mental illness at work here
Clearly we need to level about the basics. You said Iran is threatening other countries. The nations of the world not allied with the US are disappointed Iran didn't finish the job. They responded to being attacked flagrantly in violation of international law. All of Iran's actions were legal.
My question is should we obey religious law, international law, or should we pragmatically eliminate the sources of suffering in our world with what time we have left? Thank goodness that people like you will call yourselves Eurasian within 50 years and we will be less troubled by these questions
Not based on trusting me lol. Imagine if the DPRK waited to start their nuclear program. There would be this song and dance about them being a threat to the entire world. Thankfully, they didn't act bashful about it like Iran, and their nukes keep them safe. One less conflict in the global periphery, for now that is!

Very original dude. Ever heard of Operation Cyclone?
