Well he’s not the one running a Presidential campaign as an Independent and telling the world about his brain worms. Believe it or not, not everything is about Bernie Sanders.
I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
Yeah, I’ve always described r/Conservative as The_Donald dressed up in their dad’s suit and tie. But once The_Donald was finally banned (after they already left for their own website - thanks for nothing spez) r/Conservative dropped all pretenses.
Did it actually radicalize, or just take the mask off?
When a community allows you to feel comfortable “taking the mask off” and embracing your inner bigot that is radicalization. So yes, The_Donald did radicalize people. Your comment is an attempt to highlight a distinction without a functional difference.
I use Alexandrite on desktop but I’m excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.
For mobile I’m using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I’ve tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it’s incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it’s missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).
Yeah I wanted to love mlmym but it’s just too buggy and laggy for me. Hopefully lemmy-ui-next will prove to be a good replacement. If anyone’s curious, that UI can previewed at: next.lemm.ee
Yeah, it’s messed up that nearly everyone from the US would read that headline and make the same assumption without batting an eye because we’ve been conditioned to expect nothing else from police. It sure would be nice if we lived in a country where policing was actually a civil service and not a damn street gang.
I would LOVE to be wrong, but sometimes that how the human scientific process works. We make a prediction THEN look at the evidence to see if we were right
A baseless prediction is of no value whatsoever. A theory with no evidence to support your claims is not worth anyone’s time or consideration. But please, continue lecturing us about the scientific method.
