    100% agree.

    The moderation is completely out of hand. Instead of being happy we have a platform where we can discuss things outside of big tech platforms, we have people who think moderation is more important than letting people express what is on their mind, specially on this day.

    Wish I could make the mods be a bit mature here, but probably not.

    Whats next, banning people for discussing moderation? I would not be surprised at this point.

    I’ve been here from the start so I’m just angry to see this kind of thing here. Whoever mod who did this should look in the mirror and think “is my behavior a plus or a minus for the platform”.








  • I’m not watching. What’s the point of being manipulated and made to feel like we care about who wins? What previous president made things better instead of worse?

    It’s like peasants cheering for either a turd or an asshole, both of which have much more in common with eachother than us. Great choices.

    They are professional politicians with loads of money and influence, and an entire pr staff to write stories about them and make them appear a certain way to the public.


  • Every time I hear about eve, I remember how much I wished it was a slightly different game. There is no way to play eve without investing many hours each time. Everything takes a very long time.

    On the plus side, just the feeling that someone may come up and kill you and take your stuff makes the game feel quite scary. I was doing wormholes for a while and pretty much was constantly nervous about getting killed. Never happened though.

    Too much centralization of the Lemmy network happened. A big default choice instance, some others that are medium sized, and several hundreds of tiny instances nobody cares about.

    It does make more sense to have a community for an interest too, rather than an entire instance devoted to one area.

    I guess it works for porn instances but haven’t seen it work for any others. Porn is good for having alt accounts.

    Who are you talking about that is insisting there can be no deviation from the norm? And maybe you don’t realize how teaching works… You need someone willing to learn to be able to be able to have a teacher. Banning words and discussions is absolutely the wrong way to go. History has shown this many times.

    And my point is very simple. Don’t ban words. Have open discussions. Don’t support censorship of opinions or words. Don’t be afraid of what people are actually thinking of things. Stop trying to control what people should think, and stop trying to teach them what you think is right.

    People will not read something online and change their minds. Just like you are currently reading my words here, and you will not agree or change your mind. Neither will I. That’s how it works.

    I can’t be your teacher unless you want to be my student.
