Why would Russia blow up the NPP when they’re winning the war? This is another atrocity by the Ukrainian military to muddy the waters and try to attract yet more international support like the dam bombing.

Well that’s kind of a weird quirk to have.

OP have you ever been to Kent State? Or Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia? I hear they’re lovely destinations.

USSR, I want it back

Social democracy was a false idol anyways, nothing but socialism can work in the long term, socdem always gets repealed by the rich.

I know there’s been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.

Leather is murder anyways.

They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

The USSR wasn’t perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren’t any worse than the USA or the west.

The default site literally doesn’t work on mobile anyway so it’s not like it makes much difference.

Liberals when talking about human rights: :) Liberals when talking about the enforcement of human rights: :(

How is that any different from what I’ve been saying? Liberals from beehaw also have ‘mass downvoted’ people for being communist or pro China etc, but does that mean everyone from that community should be blocked? As for good faith discussion you’re just defining comments you don’t agree with as being inherently bad faith. I mean I’m sure there’s some comments just like ‘kill yourself lol’ that are completely without merit but like I said it just seems like an instinctual anti communist reaction.

Well I haven’t been on this site for very long so maybe I’ll see what you mean eventually. I still think it’s best in general to not fracture this already-tiny community though.

But how do you differentiate ‘brigading’ from just being outside the ideological orthodox of a given community? Shouldn’t bad actors just be banned personally?

I wish artists wouldn’t use Twitter, it might be convenient for them but it’s absolutely abysmal for the users, it’s impossible to do any kind of searching as is very easy on boorus.

To be fair it’s not like I know what lemmygrad does, I only joined yesterday, but it just seems like typical ‘tankiephobia’, I don’t exactly agree with MLs on everything either but some of what they get accused of is just beyond the pale. I mean generally if someone is a western liberal they don’t get endlessly accused of being a mass war crime apologist even though that’s basically what the ‘war on terror’ was.

Any kind of governance that fundamentally relies on how much wealth the participants have (like DAOs) is completely unworkable.

Behaviour like what though? Disagreeing? I don’t even know what ‘sealioning’ means, it basically seems like just saying ‘this person has different fundamental assumptions to me therefore they’re acting in bad faith’.

Well it’s not really that important of a news story, he was killed by someone in his personal life just like 90% of murders, but rightists wanted to use it as a reason to institute anti homeless pogroms because ‘San Francisco is out of control!!!’

What a ridiculous false dichotomy, obviously subs which are just creating outright machine spam should be blocked but the current policy is just creating complete echo chambers where the orthodoxy of the admins isn’t challenged.

And that doesn’t apply to liberals and every other ideology on this site? Every person has a political view which affects their opinions
