sethw,

I've read lots of dull copy written by humans. even if their first draft was good (and it probably wasnt) it still goes through a committee that sterilizes it in the end anyway

Texas places traps of razorwire barrels to stop migrants from crossing the Rio Grande (www.houstonchronicle.com)

The July 3 account, reviewed by Hearst Newspapers, discloses several previously unreported incidents the trooper witnessed in Eagle Pass, where the state of Texas has strung miles of razor wire and deployed a wall of buoys in the Rio Grande....

Generally the answer has been to invest in your neighbors and lift the third world out of poverty so they feel happy and secure where they are and so arent swarming your borders. That mentality seems to have lost momentum though, even here you struggle to even imagine it.

It's certainly not an inevitable situation to have pregnant women and children drowning in the rio grande tied up in american razor wire as border patrol watches on eating donuts in their air conditioned SUV's. It could've and can be prevented.

sethw,

Appealing to and reinforcing toxic aspects human nature is always a shitty argument. Whatever we're trying to do here let's not be regressive

sethw,

I don't understand your argument, wouldnt transparency in voting EXPOSE trolls? Pretty sure they've already caught some shenanigans that wouldn't have been so obvious without this functionality. So many instances (and even subreddits) just hide the downvote button, with the transparency if you dont like it dont downvote maybe install an extension that always hides the downvote button for just you.

sethw,

Are we really allowing "like if you agree" here?

OC Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

sethw,

they're just asking (((questions))) ugh

sethw,

fascism doesnt play fair in the marketplace of ideas, if you invite a nazi to sit at your table you've made it a nazi table. free speech is necessary and important, but we still draw lines for things like defamation and hate speech. another line is not offering a platform to fascists, they arent entitled to a seat at the table to spread fud.

you're like "but i'm not a nazi" , great, let's keep it that way.

What a boring and unnecessary opinion to have. You're not their doctor, they arent your patients, what business is it of yours? and to go on about sharing that uneducated, untrained, unsolicited opinion online and then complaining about censorship when your medical advice is not well received.. I just can't wrap my head around the entitlement.

sethw,

they dont mean up down on the political compass, they mean working class vs owning class

sethw,

Ur-fascism is the definition we're typically using, it's not arbitrary.

sethw,

Are we not doing report for low effort titles here

sethw,

I sure hope those nukes dont fall into the hands of a belligerent nation invading their neighbors and threatening to nuke anyone who gets in their way, that'd be quite an escalation!

sethw,

On most platforms the problem with nsfw is that it upsets advertisers. If we dont have to appease them, what is the problem here? I dont think we should automatically validate a puritanical approach here.

sethw,

tea for gods looks really good, non-euclidian spaces in vr are mind bending

sethw,

If you know what the words mean why are you being so stubborn about it?

sethw,

Not really, mens rea is a pretty universal requirement to be committing a crime

sethw, to random

Is fediverse reinventing usenet here? I see it being compared to email a lot, but is it not functionally doing what linked usenet servers have been doing since the 80s (70s?)
