  • skogens_ro, to nostupidquestions in Why would anyone want to be a moderator?

    Just look at how the reddit protest ended. Once threatened with losing their status as mods, they all caved.

    Money and power are powerful motivators, and the mods work for free.

    skogens_ro, to asklemmy in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

    They're authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they're appealing to communists.

    Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

    skogens_ro, to asklemmy in Is beehaw still defederated?

    Sounds like they've successfully created a safe little echochamber. Wasn't that the point?

    skogens_ro, to fediverse in How would you feel about awards on lemmy?

    this

    Edit: thank you for the gold, kind dear gentlesir or gentlemadame.

    Edit2: wow I never expected to wake up to so many awards, who'd knew my most updooted comment would be about this?

    skogens_ro, to nostupidquestions in Anyone else feel like ~99% of their life was kind of wasted?

    You are the only one who decides what gives your life meaning, and you decide what counts as "waste". If your meaning is keeping up with people who have achieved big goals without working hard to achieve big goals of your own, you'll probably end up envious and miserable. A lot of people like doing that so you've got plenty of company to wallow in your misery with if that's what you want to do.

    I'd suggest finding another form of meaning.

    skogens_ro, to sweden in Regeringen analyserar dom – vill skydda monopolet

    Vanlige dagligvarebutikker får selge øl, sider og annet opptil 4.75%. Men bare frem til kl 20 på ukedager, 18 på lørdager, og ikke på søndager for da må vi prise Herren. På søndager får vi bare kjøpe lettøl (opptil 2.75%) i dagligvarebutikker som er under 100m^2.

    skogens_ro, to politics in Biden Is Wrong. The Supreme Court Is Already “Politicized.”

    Yup. The only limit is the American population of judges, that is until they figure out how to outsource it. As American democracy deteriorates further, people want to break down institutions and the separation of powers in order to give more power to the executive. Because currently, that benefits them. At every step of the way both Rs and Ds will justify their powergrabs by saying the other would've done it. What could possibly go wrong?

    skogens_ro, to AskKbin in What Fast Food do you love?

    My go-to is an independent place near me that does excellent falafel. They do kebabs and fried chicken too, but that's more so-so.

    There's no KFC here. A local chain "Fly Chicken" is similar, except better (IMO) but also more expensive. 13.50€ for 10pcs hot wings. Norway is expensive in general.

    skogens_ro, to RedditMigration in They stole the internet from the people and we have to take it back

    Hell yeah you can blame the people. They chose to use those platforms, and they choose to stay with them as they grow ever shittier. They're the ones enabling platforms like reddit.

    skogens_ro, to politics in DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

    I agree in the event of a genocidal government, you throw them out, but obviously there needs to be a very high bar and a lot of safeguards to prevent partisan misuse. A losing Republican could claim a winning Democrat wants to conduct a genocide against unborn babies or something and the Jan6 insurrectionists would feel they were justified because of it.

    What are the most damning pieces of evidence that Desantis will conduct a genocide if elected?

    Should the 2016 election result have been overturned?

    skogens_ro, to politics in DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

    Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?

    skogens_ro, to lemmyworld in Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads

    I think most people strongly dislike free speech, but they want the right to express themselves, and the government allowing dissent is a necessary evil so they keep their own free speech. That's why they jump at any opportunity to limit everyone else's speech. People loved to say reddit was a private platform that can do what they want, so long as they kept the censorship to their political enemies.

    skogens_ro, to europe in Finland's new parliament votes for a nazi to stay as a minister

    Same appeal as other forms of extremism. You get a set of enemies to blame for everything wrong with the world. You can hate them and feel justified for it. You get simple solutions to complicated problems. You're in the know, while ordinary people are being manipulated by some evil elite.
