This is a big one for me.

Thanks for calling this out. I will stop posting content to lemmy.ml. What is the next best alternative to lemmy.world? I have nothing against lemmy.world, but would like to spread out content to different sites.

Usenet

so there’s no simple way to block huge swaths of content you’re not interested in — like sports, or politics.

The simple way is to show only the groups you have subscribed to.

But yes I do like Usenet’s organizational hierarchy.

Or we just ignore Threads until they fix this fatal flaw.

for an institutionalized candidate who no-one liked instead?

How idiotic can you get? If no one liked the nominee she wouldn’t have had the most votes.

The DNC chose Hilary.

By “DNC” you mean the voters?

You can’t maintain that it wasn’t a choice.

Exactly. Stop pretending it wasn’t the voter’s choice. That is Trump level bullshit. There just wasn’t enough of us voting Bernie.

I am pissed off by her “Redcoat claims to be patriot” crap.

There are 2 kinds of people who get banned. People who actually deserve it and people who get rando-bans. A rando-ban is something you have no control over. It is caused by things like unwritten rules, nonsensical rules, or the unpaid intern mods having a bad day. Things that a warning could have easily taken care of. Lemmy cannot give you a rando-ban, but if you actually deserve a ban than multiple people can come together and do it.

My first rando-ban on reddit was posting too much content from the Washington Post. Even though I was only posting about 1 article per month I was “spamming”. It is wonderful knowing that on lemmy/kbin I can finally start submitting content again without risking a rando-ban.

Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.

When it comes to conservatives there are 2 groups. The Liars and the Rubes who believe the liars. I’m always astonished to realize that people who I thought were Liars were actually Rubes. The Rubes blew millions of $ because they believed the Liars.

I don’t give a crap about the API. Reddit’s system of rando-bans are a fatal flaw to its usefullness.

When you click on “list of communites”. An option to default to “subscribed”. I never just want to see “local”.

Way to go, Baal. Baal is after all a storm God.

He never talks to me. He never shows himself. So if he is with me always what the f*ck is he wasting his time for? How sad is that?
