I like to imagine that this whole event was the result of the first truly rogue AI that generated its own plans for an event, sent out the necessary emails to hire the people to put it together, and everything in secret under its creator's nose.
It probably isn't that, though. Because even AI wouldn't fuck up this badly.
You have -1689 points on Kbin. And Kbin doesn't federate downvotes from other instances, which means you likely have a score an order of magnitude lower if you were to factor in federated downvotes.
I don't think it's just a matter of the "trigger words" you're using, as much as the idiotic ideas that you're constantly espousing with those words. And the fact that you're clearly intentionally trying to farm downvotes, so your "point" is nonexistent.

A buddy of mine gifted me a copy of Helldivers 2 the other day, so I've been spending some time spreading Managed Democracy across the galaxy. Mostly going back and forth between Helldivers and The Finals lately.
I use Kbin, so my experience is a little different, but do Lemmy instances not have default communities? If not, that seems like a pretty good addition, but if so, then I think that experience is going to be largely dictated by the individual instance you're signing up with.

I miss what Facebook used to offer in the earlier days. I miss being able to keep up friends and family and having a central place for everybody to just share things. It was nice for a while. It was also just nice having an account where I felt comfortable putting my face and name out there; I know that may seem kinda weird to most people, but there was something weirdly relieving about having one place where I could just say "This is me" without using a screen name and feel right about it. Facebook used to be that place for me.
Then once Facebook started to monetize every pixel on my screen and every post on my feed was just a link to something I couldn't care less about or trying to sell me something or infect me with something else, it became unbearable. The last time I logged into Facebook, I scrolled for probably five whole minutes before I was able to find a single, actual post written by somebody I actually cared about. Everything else was just links, freebooted videos, or algorithmically-boosted content designed to suck my attention away from the thing I actually wanted to look for.
I'd honestly love it if there was a better Facebook-like platform on the Fediverse. Or even not on the Fediverse, just a place where I can actually keep in touch with the people I know instead of just internet strangers. Since ditching Facebook, the internet has definitely felt like a much lonelier place for me.
I'm not sure how much of this has changed since I was a kid, but when I was in high school we had 4 years of Spanish and French, but only one year of either one was mandatory. Most kids in my school ended up just taking a year of Spanish as a freshman, and only those who actually wanted to learn another language elected for the remaining years.
Nah, I don't take instructions from shitstains. I'll comment how I want, because I'm not even arguing with you in the first place, I'm just pointing out that you're a xenophobic asshole. That was never up for debate to begin with.

It's kinda crazy how just by getting the camera movement, lens distortion, and exposure settings just right, you end up with a very natural-looking video. Even the game textures and animations end up looking more convincing this way. This might be a really fun way to play a stealth build.

I don't believe USPS can open packages without a warrant (which is why they're the preferred courier for drugs), and I don't think "multiple packages going to a wrong address" counts as probable cause. But it's been a minute since I've been involved in that end of things, so I dunno if that's still current protocol.
Or instead of subverting the will of the community, you could create /c/lemmyfossapps and moderate that, instead. It makes more sense to make a separate community than to fracture one that already exists.
