i always felt that it was wrong that they gave the riker that got out a promotion; but wouldn’t do the same thing for the riker that didn’t get out even though he was the one who paid the price for his heroism while the other riker simply got lucky and both did the same thing that earned that promotion.
we’ll all be doing this for the rest of our lives thanks to this system and it still leads us to the same place that the worse option does, but at a slower pace.
you don’t have to, reddit refugee’s have been lobbying the entire lemmyverse to institute site-wide lemmy instance bans that will end up making this happen whether you want it or not; guaranteeing that lemmy sites will turn into echo chamber mini reddits but with far fewer users and very little content
Edit: Due to popular demand FatTony Search servers are down for the time being. but has gone open source just in time (Yes that’s how it works 😡) . You may now get responses from other users. Servers will be back up some time later.
This isn’t about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That’s pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I’m also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion....
The fact that Biden chooses to risk a Trump administration over ending a genocide should be very concerning to the average voter, but Americans of course rather blame the people than their elites. Same shit like with anti Union stances.
that’s why i expect unions drives to mostly fail; we’re all susceptible to propaganda and the people refusing to accept it are making it worse.
Until someone makes a decision that Israel are actually committing genocide (and in my opinion based on the evidence I’ve observed, this seems very likely)
oic. i thought you meant that there was evidence on making a decision and it didn’t seem that way given the un’s lack of action; the icc dragging their feet; and the administration continuing to pretend that it’s not happening. despite the neeful life saving urgency, it’s pretty clear that’s not going to happen anytime soon even though a blind man could see it from the evidence you’ve just shared alone.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
I’m an Aussie in my early-mid 30s. I’ve been living in the USA for the past 11 years. I’ve been a software developer, mostly focusing on web development, since the late 90s personally and since the mid 2000s professionally.
so your birth year would be somewhere between 1987 to 1993; you started professional web development when you were 14 to 20 years old? you moved to the us somewhere between 20 and 26 years old?
i didn’t even start dating until i was 27 and my career at 26 while my first website was at 16 years old and i never truly left the country; you’re either very impressive or lucky af! i envy you! ;)
There’s lots of LGBTQ+ and FOSS (I wonder why lol).
the lemmyverse was created by tankies as a leftists social media platform; it moved to center right and octupled in users when reddit went full corporate.
there’s a lot of overlap between lgbtq and left leaning views as well as left leaning views and foss enthusiasts.
their protest used to start revolutions and now their protests are safely ignored until they run out of steam; the people in charge have gotten really good forcing everyone else to choose between a future and right now
On the other hand, the legislation isn’t technically a ban, but a forced divestment of a corporate asset.
this reminds me of how democrats marketed don’t ask/don’t tell as a “compromise” when in reality military policy already mandated that any and all hints of “non-hetero-ness” on service members must be investigated and dishonorably discharged if they were discovered to be lgbt.
like don’t ask / don’t tell, the forced divestment is true, but it’s not the reason and the devil is hidden in the details.
in case you don’t already know: force divestment isn’t a real option because 1) the american government already knows that the chinese government block it and 2) bytedance uses the same algorithm across all of their social media companies so giving away the secret sauce to a competitor is a bad idea when tiktok in the united states makes a relatively small portion of bytedance’s revenue.
What’s real interesting is TikTok’s refusal to sell, which tells me that they think they have a very solid court case.
they’re stuck between a rock & hard place and suing is the only path left open to them
the rock): the chinese government has laws similar to the united states that will block a sale of any algorithm to a foreign enemy.
the hard place): bytedance uses the same algorithm in all of their social media companies and american tiktok is a relatively small slice of their revenue pie so it doesn’t make business sense to give their secret recipe to a competitor

i agree and like @archomrade i too have been depressed at the large number of center-right users on a platform built by tankies for all leftists.
as a fellow reddit refugee i’ve been wondering if the reddit refugees were the reason for it and, now that someone else agrees, i know i’m part of the problem.
Maybe he just doesn’t have as much to lose as the rest of us…
i’ve lost my livelihood 3x because of biden’s anti-lgbt votes & anti-lgbt support; with #4 on the way; and will suffer more under trump as a non-white non-hetero non-christian; i still think macklemore is in the right here.
