Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior

As an american jew, hostages don't justify genocide. Never again means never again.

Imagine having the time and resources to be such a shit in this way. The main thing is don't be a transphobe, but then a substantial secondary thing is get a life.

Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

Santa could end scarcity, but won't.

The old fascist tactic of accusing the other side of the things you’re guilty of.

Really telling on yourself here! Would be funny if you weren't so sad.

Pointing out flaws in the country shouldn't be seen as a personal attack or critique. Many of the victims of America are it's citizens (e.g., the incarcerated).

Nationalism just twists the government into our personal identity to manipulate us. Making fun of the government/system is healthy.

This isn't "Americans dumb" content, which attacks the actual citizens and understandably may weigh on someone.

I do wonder if it would be healthier for the fedditverse for instances to really narrow their magazine/community footprint. I.e. "This is an Anime instance" a "Science instance" etc. Making off-topic magazines could either be discouraged or outright banned.

Not looking forward to having dozens of "news" and "technology" magazines sharing the same stories,

It's really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.

I imagine it's mostly upper middle class weirdos who have their own secret curiosity room of morbid shit so they can feel edgy. So, probably a lot of Harvard alumni.

“average user posts 100 times per day" actualy just statistical error. average user posts 0 times per day. Feddi Georg, who lives in cave & posts over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

The thing is AI voices are only good enough to trick most listeners. If you know what to listen for, or can dissect the audio professionally, it's trivial to fact check.

There has always been image/audio doctoring. Any reputable news source can reasonably identify these things.

I don't know, it's really a lose lose either way. Biden is either too soft and the GOP calls it a win and does something worse, or he is too tough and he's called a dictator. I'd rather he take decisive action and put the fear of God in them than let it escalate and get even more immigrants killed. Honestly after the shipping migrants to liberal states stunt he should have thrown the book and/or CIA at 'em.

Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!

It's also just silly to think CPP would bother censoring Tiananmen square on /western/ websites.

Maybe within the firewall, and maybe try to influence coverage on contemporary issues, but I don't think they actually care about redditors sharing images from their history textbook,

Nationalism is poison, no matter the nation.

Honestly even if we just cut out pork....this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

They've already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

Israel has no incentive to stop. Even cutting funding won't. They've made so much headway in their genocide they want to finish and set up their new canal through Gaza to rival Suez. (Surprise surprise another colonial asset to defend next time they want to do a massacre).

There needs to be a massive surge of BDS and frankly nations sending peacekeeping troops willing to check IDF aggression while rebuilding.

Simply replace it with a memorial for the enslaved folks these losers fought to subjugate. Let the Confederate legacy be lost to time and honor the people who persevered through unimaginable evils.

Threads has 60 million users in 1 day, the fediverse has 12 million over years of growth.

We'd be keeping ourselves out of Threads, not the other way around.
