I think there was a misunderstanding earlier when you said you were new. You meant newly an admin, but others thought you were saying you were literally new to this site as a whole

Also TC69 called this a conspiracy theory while locking the thread that screenshot showed up in. If the image isn’t fake then that really needs elaboration

What the fuck? Ok now I understand the difference between allowing dunking on a federated lemmygrad comm and just allowing it here. The admins just wanted to appease other fucking instances once again by letting them dictate our culture from the top down. We need to be the nice, respectable leftists so the liberals on lemmy.world will like us, so keep your uppity complaining on lemmygrad

It sucks to realize in hindsight, but if Bernie had won the 2016 primary he would have been thoroughly ratfucked as a matter of bipartisan consensus. The Democrats would have sabotaged his national campaign at every step, probably even going as far as to have a few high profile Democrats endorse a third party candidate to make sure Bernie loses.

But if we’re still allowed to post dunk content on the lemmygrad comm, and that comm is still allowed to federate with Hexbear, then what has actually even changed given all dunk content ends up there eventually? Like it’s still on the site, our users still see it, its still under Hexbear mod jurisdiction.

The only thing that’s changed in that scenario is that anarchists aren’t welcome to post dunk content anymore

Thanks, comrade. The harder I’m forced to mask during interviews, the closer and closer I get to saying fuck it and telling the interviewer to their face that in a just world they’d be in a fucking gulag

were probably some of the more active comms on this site besides chat, mutual aid, and chapomainhouse.

This is a very important point and I don’t see it brought up much. We should not be blanket deciding that low effort posts are not welcome on Hexbear because Hexbear unironically needs low effort post as an indispensable part of the site culture.

Low effort posts by their nature are a dime a dozen, they help keep the place active and lively. High user activity for the size of our userbase has always been a defining feature of both Hexbear and the subreddit before it. High effort posts come naturally as a consequence of discussion often originating in lower effort threads.

On board with most people here saying it shouldn’t be called gossip, and getting rid of the racist pun is cool and good.

But if we’re still allowing shitreactionariessay to be federated with Hexbear, then I don’t see why we can’t have that content on a local comm now that people can block individual communities.

People who don’t like that content don’t need to see it, I don’t understand this ongoing trend of insistence that no one else should see it on a local Hexbear comm either. Especially when so many comrades have shared how these communities serve as sanity checks, the one place we can reaffirm to ourselves and to our comrades that the reactionary slog of our everyday lives is neither necessary nor normal.

And as others have brought up, lemmygrad is a sectarian space, meaning all that’s essentially changed is that we no longer have a left unity space for this type of content on our federation network.

That’s my thinking as well. Western leftists identify as anarchists far more than they identify as Marxists whereas in the global south the reverse is true. This gives the impression anarchism is fundamentally opposed to Marxism to the point of taking the side of the US over AES, but that’s actually just the same background level of racist, liberal brainrot that westerners share in general.

None of the constitution was written with any sort of modern communication or transportation technology in mind, it makes sense they’d want to give the electoral college time to convene and deliberate and for the new administration’s cabinet to gather in DC and get situated.

But the constitution was also written to be nigh impossible to amend, so this farce of a system of government will just continue to grow more and more out of touch with reality as time goes on.

I’m still in line to vote for him in the 2020 South Carolina primary! They can’t turn me away because I got here before the polls closed, I suggest everyone else still in line to do the same. Once all the votes are in Bernie will hopefully have the statewide delegate lead, and that will put a huge dent into Biden’s Super Tuesday winnings, we may be able to redo the convention.

The California ballot measure to ban prison slavery lost lmao fuck this piece of shit country

Last election there was this couple day period where it looked like Trump won before the votes were all counted. As a result, we got to see both r/neoliberal and thedonald.lose have their meltdowns. This race is looking a lot closer than that one, so I imagine there’s a good chance we’ll get to see both of them piss and shit their pants again

Either that or they have the heart attack gun aimed at his grandchildren

Regardless, he’s useless to us now, just another imperialist ghoul attempting to hitch the progressive wagon to genocide.

Just put in my ballot for Claudia De La Cruz. Wrote in Joseph Stalin for all the local “entrepreneur vs cop” races, and voted appropriately on measures. Never gonna vote for a Democrat ever again.

Every so often I find myself thinking back and juxtaposing my current view of US electoral politics to how I felt on the day of the 2020 Nevada caucus. What a fucking radicalizing experience the 2020 primary was, and it becomes more and more radicalizing the longer time goes on and reveals to us none of it ever mattered.

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly does Lebanon’s military work? I just can’t understand how a country’s own national military can just sit things out while another country invades with the intent of genocide. How is it all up to Hezbollah when Israel is literally detonating entire villages?
