They took this poll 2 months ago and made the decision based on that, I don't think they're making decisions based on us talking now
I know they recently voted to switch to allowlist, I have no visibility if they were blocked in the past either way they are on the allow list now and not blocked, not sure what else could be going wrong.
Wait - YOU WERE THE ONE who threatened me with an icepick!
The only thing I’m predicting that I’m meeting your mind with is an icepick
Guilty
For what it's worth I apologize for that, death threats are uncalled for no matter how much trolling someone is doing.
to quote one of the other users in that thread:
Crybully type shit. You're being dunked on for being horrendously right wing with the unearned smugness of thinking you yourself are "left wing". "Negotiating" with power the way you ask of us here is simply the privilege of not being the next target, or imagining you aren't.
My observation is that this is an incredibly popular pastime on lemmy.ml and friends. They tell each other what their “enemies” believe
You guys have already demonstrated what you believe, no need to embellish
Yeah, y’all sound super productive.
Didn't you hear that we were the sole reason the multi-billion dollar Kamala election campaign ate shit? clearly you miscalculated so get in line next time 😎
Any conversation about Kamala Harris?
I have not very many things positive to say about her other than she would probably not be as catastrophic as Trump is.
Somewhat normal, but Jesus Christ look at all the “removed by mod”
Misogyny:
Ableism:
They'll censor calling Ukraine a genocide. I don't like hearing that kind of talk either. It's a war, they're terrible and a nonstop fountain of violence, but it's not an ethnic cleansing campaign.
Can you elaborate on what the issue with this one is?
one of the links included this:
US STATE DEPARTMENT have also said officially that there isn’t evidence for genocide in Xinjiang: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/19/china-uighurs-genocide-us-pompeo-blinken/
Accusing China of doing a genocide was a Trump term 1 hobbyhorse carried over by Biden just like how they didn't cancel his tariffs from then either.
You clearly didn’t take into consideration the damage the Trump administration promised would happen to the LGBTQ+, so your gender is as irrelevant to the topic as mine is.
My vote had literally no impact and Kamala won my state. She ate shit everywhere else due to her participation in the genocide without my assistance. I think I assessed the situation and the impacts of my vote just fine.
Maybe try listening to me next time instead of dismissing me like you always do.
weird, your instance is not defederated on the hexbear side, not sure what's going on there, it definitely looks like you aren't getting posts.
As I explained in that thread when someone sent me that same picture, I am not at all fantasizing about Trump sending pro-Palestinian or pro-migrant people to concentration camps. I’m not by any means happy about it.
I get that, but you can see how someone could read that and feel like that's what you were saying?
That’s why I tried to stop it from happening and was alarmed when they were uninterested in one particular way of stopping it.
All 80+ mil people who didn't vote aren't on lemmy. Some powerless online anarchists/communists failing to tow the line on shit isn't why the ruling party essentially got swept in an incumbent election. I voted in a blue state for the communist because I agree with what they had to say about things more than I do Democrats or Republicans. It had objectively no impact. Maybe if more of the Democrats who feel as strongly as you fell into line with me instead we could actually be in a position to be using this horrifying war machine for something positive.
I live in a state where her winning was a forgone conclusion, if I didn't maybe I would have protested in another way. I'm not advocating for acceleration, the democrats are more an organization of managed decline, while Trump was clearly dead-set on kicking the leg out from under the table. I'm not interested in seeing it all fall apart, if anything I find that when I try to warn against what I think are the harmful decisions the Democrats make I get dismissed out of hand.
I will say that I am finding much higher frequency of people showing up to in person organizing in the last 3 months than in the last ~3 years under Biden.
We could have had Harris, and then worked to stop the support of Israel. How?
THE SAME FUCKING PROTESTS YOU ARE ALL SO ADAMANT ABOUT RALLYING EVERYONE TO JOIN WITN YOU IN!!
All of you would be back at brunch like normal if she had won.
Yes one of the two genocide candidates won, the genocidaires were always bound to come out on top in this system. Their fate is intertwined with US interests so it's always going to be protected as bipartisan consensus
I don't bother upvoting or downvoting generally, I use web browser on mobile and it's too many clicks.
You write a lot of words to say not very much.
I went and checked, was it on this account? The only thing I see in their modlog is you got a comment removed- this one:
and like I agree with removing that, it just looks like you're doing this:
You didn't even get banned.
Like I've actually tried looking up every time I see someone complaining about draconian mod actions and more often then not it's something that just someone stirring shit and getting their wrist slapped, rather than the free speech 1984 gulag that they go on to complain about elsewhere.
If I come across a group of people all using the same contrived name for an instance I'm on, I'm going to associate them all together. "tankie triad" mudslinging is why I'm responding with this dynamic that you've identified. Turnabout is fair play.
You made the original accusation of a .ml hivemind, hence my wide-ranging explanation, because that's what it took to convey my point.
This whole conversation is a waste of time. ... If you just want to change to a variety of other topics, I’m not into it.
If you're tired of being my interlocutor I'm happy to disengage. I was only explaining my objection to your original assertion, I provided my perspective.
They’re all next on the list.
Yes, we all are, I'm visibly trans IRL too you know.
Recall the first they came poem?
Well this time around the verses would have started with Palestinians - really hard to be surprised when that same process plays out once more. It's why I have the positions I do, participating in that genocide the way we did set the stage for where we are now.
that doesn’t mean you’re not capable of being a cool person in spite of it.
ty for saying something that wasn't just dismissive/condescending. You can dislike my political position or the things I'm saying but it's really really not swaying anyone to act like that.
Hey someones gotta be the one doing the inviting, I help organize a free food party every week
😎🛹
openly supportive of russian genocidal imperialism
failing to carry water for the US consensus narrative on all events related to geopolitics does not mean that people automatically support the geopolitical enemies to the fullest extent.
I outlined my position in the other reply, these servers are not really a monolith other than when it comes time to shut down bigotry
The people pointing out 'the .ml general consensus' by running a smear campaign are not exactly operating in good faith or opposed to imperialism, they just have a preferred team (the US + co).
From direct experience it's not a monolith, earlier today I made a post on hex shitting on Putin with 50+ upvotes, I didn't get banned for wrongthink yet and it's not the first time.
Just don't be weirdly xenophobic/misogynistic is more the vibe I've picked up on. I never understand when people go in looking for a fight or stir shit somewhere then act surprised when the response is to shut it down or mock them. I've had it happen to me plenty just for voicing my opinions earnestly in liberal spaces.
You may think that it speaks negatively of me if I'm more comfortable in the 'tankie-run' spaces as opposed to the liberal ones, but a large part of it is because they have a much lower tolerance for bigotry/misogyny/transphobia in general than the rest of lemmy and I've seen them actually attempting to address it when it's brought up. (on hexbear at least, .ml is more of a boys club) I've even talked shit about one of the admins here for failing to address his transphobic comment history- as it stands if nutomic does ever post in /c/transgender it's going to be a race between me and marcie to ban him from it.
So again, not a monolith.
re: voting, The democrats were acting unbelievably condescending from the start of the genocide, that the issue was going to go away in 6 months because people would forget. It may not seem like it to you, but from my position (and many others) it absolutely looks like they didn't care and were telling people to shut up and get in line.
Oh look! It’s another Internet Communist™ hating people for shit they never said, thought, or felt.
You never said, thought or felt that the genocide was OK and yet in another post replying to me about voting:
And you tossed yours away on bullshit you didn’t even care about a year earlier.
- smug condescension as if I'm not principled and have not held this position consistently
- referring to opposing my own governments direct participation in a genocide as 'bullshit'
- I'd like to hope you weren't referring to the genocide as 'bullshit'
You claim that it's not your position to be in favor of the democrats 2023-2024 genocide arc, but your dismissal of my concerns as 'bullshit' has already spoken volumes.
id rather be dead than participate in a genocide, sorry
you can only muster up smug condescension for people who disagree with you, I bet you're great at parties
you just said that was "some bullshit" in your other response, sounds like it's your position
And you tossed yours away on bullshit you didn’t even care about a year earlier.
Excuse me, that 'bullshit' is me for taking exception with the government representing me participating the final solution.
you can't say the Democrats are evil for doing that, just that everyone better shut up and vote for them. authoritarian ass party
