So is it not on Reddit because conservative down votes, shitty algorithm, not enough people compared to bots, or a combination of the above?

Going there for the first time since the migration, and not seeing it anywhere on the top of anything (/Maine had it but couldn't get a sticky) while not logged in made me very satisfied I've made the correct decision sticking around lemmy.

Wait a shooting? Quick someone get the Constitution back out after we shelved it to stop women from driving on roads and other religions to exist!

It’s up to 22 dead now. Jfc.

And nothing will change.

Damn video games at it again!

My buddy grew up there. Fucking sad

Stormtroopers have been dispatched and instructed to exercise extreme caution. They will engage the suspected perpetrator only if absolutely necessary. Priority is to capture and bring the suspect to trial, if possible

I don't understand why this is even news over there at this point
