Nah, the number one reason to vote lately is to prevent Trump from pissing all over democracy. Even Republicans are joining in.

Of course the number 1 news source broke this story. I read that site everyday in my basement stronghold while wearing my special tin hat.

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

FYI, the next version of Nexcloud AIO will come with the external transcoder.

Cool story. What are ads?

Idiocy is not exclusive to Reddit. Different Lemmy servers were born based solely on stupidity.

There are too many dimwits who think Lemmy was made so that they can build their echo chambers. So, there is no discourse, just stupid people encouraging stupid people. Anyone that comments otherwise is immediately removed.

Most mods are dumdums. Most are obviously politically and ideologically motivated. It’s their job to prune anything they disagree with, which means they can’t help themselves and ban everyone. Most of the time it’s a complete waste of time to comment in smaller subs. The dumdums have taken hold either by making the subs and controlling them, or by volunteering as mods with no oversight.

Wut

Personal echo chamber has to be the worst reasoning and idea I have ever heard.

Maybe I’m bothered because what you suggest as normal is bananas crazy.

See what you did here got me banned from an instance. Copy / pasting the same comment.

No. Admittedly I am having trouble understanding what you wrote but that might highlight part of the problem. Mods who aren’t native English speakers are mods in English subs. They have no idea what they are reading and react randomly.

Also, the random people who volunteer to be mods. They don’t volunteer with good intentions.

Definitely Lemmy world. Or by some nut mod anywhere else.

People that get off having mod powers or people that want to push a particular message… 😕

Exactly. You can’t do anything. You are at the mercy of the mods. If they have massive bias for something, the entire sub has massive bias.

It’s more like content steering, yes. But from the perspective of someone that frequents a thread, it’s shadowy. All the content vanishes and remembering the usernames that commented, so I can look up what was removed, is just not practical.

It’s really bizarre and sadly dystopian.

That’s the thing, you have to frequent particular threads to notice, but for your own posts, you can see the mod reasoning, if they are given. Most of the time there is no reason given, but every now and then there’s a one word response that is clearly them not understanding words or pushing their own political ideas. And by doing that they’ve created echo chambers for entire subs. It’s disgusting.

In Reddit at least there is a big notice posted in the comment if they are removed. In Lemmy, they just prune everything so it looks like everyone agrees with the mod.

Wut

Removed by mod

And here I was almost convinced by peoplesdispatch.org /s

For a username like Veritas you really do a lot to avoid the truth. Anyway…
