Something someone else wrote.

You were using an analogy where a bully threatens to beat you up and take your money.

No, I wasn’t.

That’s nothing like the current situation. The current situation is a nuclear armed nation is willing to wage an endless war and we’re throwing money and bombs and tanks at the problem trying to make it go away.

No, it’s not.

You’re comparing small scale things to nuclear scale things and it’s really just absurd.

No, I’m not.

Here’s what I’m getting from their comments:

“US bad, Russia good. I love Putin and anything that I can pretend is a communist nation, despite not even being slightly close”

Bullies also don’t have nuclear weapons.

Uh, yes. Yes they do.

It certainly can be.

Yes, there is. You have 705 post score and 565 comment score.

Some have sure, most I doubt. The largest instance certainly hasn’t.

Intent is irrelevant. Humans don’t work that way and will continue to downvote what they don’t like/agree with and upvote what they do like/agree with. Creating a system that ignores how people work and asking them to please use it how you want will never work.

Everyone should just embrace how it’s actually used and move on.

I don’t mind them existing either. My issue is with how they show up in the subscription feed now. I’d prefer separate feeds for shorts.

Broadcast not cable, and owned by Disney.

For this specific case, yes to the first question, no to the second question.

Admin refusing to do anything about a kid with a gun after being told a kid has a gun isn’t a funding problem.

They did the opposite and shoved a pointless shorts section in the middle of your subscription page so you can’t see what you actually want to look at.

I do and it’s already available at https://old.lemmy.world for anyone who prefers it.

Someone else mentioned old.lemmy.world if you like the old reddit UI. That one is closer to what I want personally.

But yeah, options is great. Just need a way to save a preference now so it will use my preferred UI when logged in. Either that or throw together a redirect plugin.

Unfortunately this is even worse than the default lemmy UI with even more wasted space on desktop. But hey, more options for people is always nice and hopefully some will like this.

You have it backwards. Defederation happened prior to the removal of the “child-like” reference. Per the explanation of the removal it was part of the community from the start when the definition of adorable was copy/pasted.

I don’t know why you would assume the addition happened after defederation based on the time stamp of it’s removal.

You have it backwards. That mod is the one who removed “child-like” it was there until after defederation/this blew up and the nsfw admins appointed that mod in response.

They aren’t removing opposing comments. They are removing comments from other instances as it’s a meta post about their instance. Opposing comments from their own instance have not been removed.

If you aren’t on their instance your opinions aren’t relevant and this doesn’t affect you.

To expand, one of his early businesses was X.com which was a payment processor and sold to paypal and eventually shutdown. He bought the domain again back in 2017 and it now redirects to twitter.

Can’t tell but you’re still willing to make assumptions and make up motivations without verifying anything. Is this community just for drumming up drama and targeting other communities?
