Is it me, or the hive mind mentality has come over here as well?

I’ve posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don’t really care about the karma because I can’t see it anyway, but I’m worried that comments and posts here are gonna get...

CeruleanRuin,

A) There is no hive mind. That’s just you perceiving a bunch of people who happen to hold a similar opinion as a monolith, and that’s an illusion. You have no data whatsoever to support the idea that they’re thinking in concert or even have the same reasons for their reactions.

  1. Don’t take it so personally. They don’t know you, and they’re not attacking you by downvoting you. They’re simply expressing “I want to see less of this.”

d) Instead of having a kneejerk reaction when you get this kind of response and immediately being defensive, step back and use it as a reflective moment. Maybe you misjudged the room, misinterpreted the potential impact of what you posted, or are simply on a different track from those who downvoted. What can you learn from it? Do you need to change your own approach, or do you need to reevaluate your audience?

Italy starts removing lesbian mothers’ names from children’s birth certificates (www.cnn.com)

The northern Italian city of Padua has started removing the names of non-biological gay mothers from their children’s birth certificates under new legislation passed by the “traditional family-first” government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

CeruleanRuin,

You know how many outmoded and idiotic laws are still on the books, but are simply ignored because it’s embarrassing to even acknowledge them? Law is not absolute.

CeruleanRuin,

How is this “good approach”?

The city should fine the fuck out of NBCUniversal for the full cost of replacing those trees. Those are not healthy trees.

Donald Trump brands US a ‘third -world hellhole’ run by ‘perverts’ and ‘thugs’ (www.independent.co.uk)

Donald Trump gave a rambling two-hour speech at a right-wing conference where he branded the U.S. a “third-world hellhole” under President Biden’s leadership. He falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and investigations against him are an attempt to rig the 2024 election. He threatened to revoke funding from...

CeruleanRuin,

He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn’t he? Golf was more important?

CeruleanRuin,

Average Ram owner: WTF is this nerd shit?

CeruleanRuin,

I would like to introduce you to Japanese prefecture flags.

CeruleanRuin,

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

CeruleanRuin,

Man, this comment is naive as hell. I’m disappointed to see so much anti-labor sentiment here. But what else should I expect from that username.

CeruleanRuin,

You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil’s lies.

Some will claim to believe that it doesn’t matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there’s no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won’t say it openly.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.

CeruleanRuin,

I feel sorry for anyone born there or brought there as a child. They didn’t choose this.

People who moved there voluntarily are another matter. I don’t have much pity for them.

CeruleanRuin,

The people with the real power to do anything are the people who will suffer the least. We’re going off the rails on a crazy train.

Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces amendment directing Biden to withdraw from Nato (www.independent.co.uk)

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. She argues that European countries are not reliable partners and are not paying their fair share of NATO obligations, while the U.S. pays around 4% of its...

CeruleanRuin,

Since we’re all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don’t have to see that face in my feed?

CeruleanRuin,

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.

CeruleanRuin,

That’s exactly what uncles are for.

CeruleanRuin,

Canceling it is one thing. Pulling the show down from the service is absolutely abhorrent behavior.

CeruleanRuin,

It's not blind. You've been paying attention.

CeruleanRuin,

Using "purge" unironically in reference to human beings is a serious red flag for identifying fascist pieces of shit.

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags (web.archive.org)

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city became the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council. They viewed the power shift and diversity as a meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign. This...

CeruleanRuin,

Religion-driven identity is literally toxic to humanity.

CeruleanRuin,

Wait, I thought the objective was to reduce traffic to reddit.

How to safeguard a Paperwhite against a preschooler?

Say a 4-yr-old who likes to mess with things saw my kindle lying on a table, because I like being able to pick it up and read whenever without having to dig it out of a drawer or high shelf out of reach. Before anybody saw she had the kindle, she had lost my spot in my book, changed the font size, and purchased two books from...

Considering how X-Men has long been an allegory for queer identity and the attempted oppression thereof, I hope trans people will take this as the unintentional compliment he didn't intend it to be. In this world where conformity is choking the planet and multiplying suffering, being different is a superpower.

Fuck Trump with a fork along with anyone who supports him.

CeruleanRuin,

For a moment I thought I had stumbled on a Lemmy equivalent of r/nottheonion. This man is a cartoon.
