BottomTierJannie,

Some instances have a fairly narrow set of communities, such that their local home feed is a desirable browsing experience

[Feature Request] Please remove down votes on instances that have them disabled

it’s an eyesore to use the app with the down vote icons since my instance disabled them. when you click on them they work but obviously it doesn’t actually do anything (the animation works but the down vote isn’t registered since they’re off on the instance)...

BottomTierJannie,

This is only true if you consider popularity to be the end-all determinant of quality content. Plenty of shit gets downvoted solely because people disagree with it.

BottomTierJannie,

If you didnt want that, you shouldnt be using a reddit clone.

Yeah, because things like the formatting of content and general site navigation are entirely irrelevant.

BottomTierJannie,

I know what lemmy is you dumbass.

BottomTierJannie,

Yeah, fuck off you stupid rat

BottomTierJannie,

As someone who just uses an app to browse and thus has no stake in things, how much would doing this put onto the admins?

BottomTierJannie,

If not directly from their own mouths, is there literally anything that could convince you that these people support hamas?

BottomTierJannie,

To convince me that they are Hamas, and thus combatants and not civilians, needs more credible evidence, though.

So what? Hamas forfeited their position to complain about differing combatants and civilians when they chose to engage as irregular combatants. To that end, everyone who stays in combat areas when told to evacuate should be considered a combatant. But the nature of irregular combatants and warfare is probably just something we should agree to disagree on here.

In short, my problem isn’t with what’s being reported, but who is doing it.

I absolutely agree that a huge amount of reporting is less than honest. But my main question is then, who do you consider a viable source, if anyone, or what’s your strategy for getting information you can trust, if you don’t consider any sources to be up to snuff?

BottomTierJannie,

Well I mean yeah, but that’s not going to happen. Hamas and their friends have a vested interest in making it look like they’re just a bunch of victims.

I guess the reason I’m curious is because I find a lot of people (yourself not included) who more or less dismiss every source that backs up Israel’s stance/actions as just being zionist propaganda or whatever, so I’m interested in what we (in a general sense) could find that would serve as a sort of common ground of facts, even if we don’t agree on the more subjective side of things. Because yeah, there’s always going to be people who just carry water for their “side” regardless of the facts, but i feel like a lot of the middle ground is getting pulled to the extremes by the narrative that nothing can be trusted.

BottomTierJannie,

The update broke logins for a lot of instances. Try logging out and back in. It worked for me on multiple accounts

Pornhub pushes gay, transgender videos to ‘convert’ straight men, secret recordings suggest (www.washingtonexaminer.com)

I don’t think this will be an issue with the regulars, but because I’m paranoid about some random users coming in, it’s okay to be gay or transgender or whatever you identify as. Saying otherwise is bigotry, rule 1.

BottomTierJannie,

As the mod of the other notable conservative community, if like to issue an official “oof” for the mess that happened here.

BottomTierJannie,

Just because the government infringes on a right it doesn’t mean it isn’t a right.

BottomTierJannie,

Good to know you don’t consider free association to be a right.

BottomTierJannie,

I’m not whining. Funny, coming from the guy who thew a tantrum over having to follow the rules.

BottomTierJannie,

This is why over on the other conservative community, I explicitly made the rules a vibe check rather than a hard and fast law. The rules there are about the spirt of them, not the exact letter of what I put in the sidebar one night. If someone’s acting like a cunt by trying to skirt around the exact phrasing of what I wrote, it’s fully made clear they don’t get a pass.

BottomTierJannie,

Yeah. Clear cut rules always seem nice, up until you actually have to deal with them, and you realize there’s a reason that we hire professional lawyers and judges to maintain the irl justice system, and not volunteer mods. Online forums are ultimately trivial enough that enforcement not always being perfect is, in my opinion, a fine tradeoff since the most that’s at stake is an easily replaceable account.

Of course, run your community how you like. The good part about federated social media is that it inherently promotes competition and co-existing rather than a rabbit scramble for ideal community names, where whatever schlub who names it first has the community for good.

BottomTierJannie,

Arguably, you’ve created the problem by being too specific. And it’s your community to run, not mine, so take whatever I say in whatever fashion you prefer, but this is inevitably the end result of trying to make the rules as specific as possible: you get people who just try to work around the exact wording you chose. Fix one loophole, and they’ll find another.

BottomTierJannie,

The posts just aren’t hidden in the web ui. Just in the app

BottomTierJannie,

this site is pretty far left, so people downvote everything they don’t agree with

BottomTierJannie,

Never said you should care. Just my take on why it happens

BottomTierJannie,

Jesus, your entire comment is just the most brazen of strawman arguments. Do better next time.

BottomTierJannie,

You’ve intentionally go a through and provided a series of strawman arguments about basically every topic touched. Nothing you said even remotely reflects what people on the right actually believe regarding any of those subjects.
