TED Talks are overrated. Basically it’s just a platform where self-centered pompous people take a microphone and say some of the most obviously sugar-coated shit that they can say. Then everyone in the audience all think that they’ve never heard this before and embrace for how ‘enlightening’ it is, when this guy is probably the 5th guy in line that has said the exact same things as the guy before them.

Lemmy isn’t just full of political content, but it’s also full of assholes too that take advantage of the small sized community of Lemmy and other instances. So this gives the impression that it’s simply a clique that runs around ‘running things’ and by that, just kissing ass to mods and making you out to be the problem when it was started by them.

With politically charged content and just random pricks mixed in, it’s going to be a hard sell for anybody to stick around here on Lemmy. Moreso, the lack of niche communities, will not give anyone a sense of belonging.

That’s what Reddit will always have in spades against Lemmy. Lemmy just seems to be populated with political people, nerds into programming, jackasses and aimless wanderers.

I know what I’m on about, but you scrubbed that post away from politics. You’re a Neo-Nazi sympathizer, you’re proving to have been no better than the trash I’ve been pointing out either.

You gaslight, you instigate and you have quite a self-righteous ego to boot. And if we wanna throw around modlogs of eachother then you’re not any better:

This includes the post you’ve been dodging so hard about where you protected that NeoNazi.

Enjoy the block after this.

Get blocked, bro.

Bruh, dodging your matter doesn’t serve anything either. Consider the fact that you whitewashed that post from your history so it won’t be tracked.

And by the way, you think one solitary opinion is what’s the problem? When, who you protected, collectively is going to ruin the country for 4 years?

You’re not seeing the forest from the trees. Not seeing the big picture. This is why you can’t mod.

Love how you’re totally dodging the fact that you protected a NeoNazi by continuing on your self-righteous rhetoric.

And what stance do you think you have when you’ve openly protected a NeoNazi?

My opinion was a meaningless opinion, at the end of the day. Your action, spoke louder. You knew how heightened things have become now politically. You knew.

Yeah, for everyone to see how fragile the mods are and can be. Were you trying to make up for an ultimate dunk kind of a response? Buddy, I know you, through you moderate some of the instances you’re in. You’re fragile, not allowing people to talk about some things in politics but allowing repeated posts to come over and over. You aren’t that great of a moderator yourself.

Real mature of a mod, you want that politics instance to turn into Trumpland, don’t you? I bet you voted for him. You even got uptight because people doxxed a NeoNazi, so you’re a protector of NeoNazis.

Yeah but you also neglect how it is on the internet. People will twist contexts, interpret things wrongly and deliberately gaslight to make up just about anything anymore to have you disciplined. All the while they get to wander around freely and continue their passive aggressive bullshit.

But I’ll bet you’ve never been on the receiving end of that, have you? That’s why you’ve said what you’ve said. And you close your comment out by saying something blatantly untrue which is a gaslighting tactic. Good to know you’re one of them.

I’d be okay not owning my social media account if these parasites would stop thinking they’re entitled to my privacy and sensitive information.

So much prompting in movement. Until these humanoid robots can flow as easily as a human can, I’m not impressed. Even if the prompts per action rate is a couple nanoseconds, I’m not thrilled. Make them seamless.

I’d like for you to try and justify all of the times that the U.S Government has broken the law. Laws that they’ve made and international law, unapologetically. Also, you’re making some very weak comparisons. Snowden isn’t like Trump.

The American People deserve the knowledge of what their government is doing. For too long has the government operate in crooked practices that only have made the people grow contempt and distrustful towards.

If the government is going to take, give back, take again and give back our rights while allowing itself to be influenced by corporate interests. It’s fair game.

Another great example - Edward Snowden.

Does anyone really believe that the USA will ever…ever give him a fair trial for what he did? The guy was smart to flee the country. Ah yes, let’s give a fair trial to a guy that just jerked the curtain back to prove that yes, Americans are being spied on by the government. That’ll go nicely! /s

People will be angry but angry at the wrong people. No, let’s not be angry at the guy for actively destroying everyone’s lives. Let’s be angry at blacks. Or gay people. Or transgenders. Or police. Or scientists.

Fucking dumb Americans.

Yeah I mean, people have complicated so many things.

Back in the early days of the internet, you were a laughingstock for being infamous on the internet. Like, you weren’t supposed to and it was frowned upon. Now look where that’s gotten.

Learn it’s lesson too late and at the wrong time.
