  • Sure, I should’ve stuck to a strict definition of the poorly defined thing that you “suppose” means something that wasn’t at all indicated in the comment. Makes sense.

    The comment made two claims:

    1. We are outraged about this
    2. We are not outraged about the targeting of the left

    I said:

    1. We can be outraged about more than one thing.
    2. What evidence do you have to support your second claim?

    Using “we” or “no one” is immaterial in that sentence in this context. It’s not more than just not repeating the same words again and again for readability. No sensible person took that to be an ask for evidence that literally not one single person was outraged. The crux of the question, as written above, is “What evidence supports your claim?” Using your assumed definition, I’d have the same question about both claims instead of just one. My main point that we can be outraged about more than one thing would be unchanged.

    Why are you acting like an apologist for normalizing the increasing psychopathy of the American society?

    I’m not. You’re just failing to think clearly.






  • Not really, but if my circumstances were different I would have. I’ve been super busy so I’ve been a very casual user lately. For me, that means mostly using my phone where I use Voyager. I also bounce back and forth between Lemmy and Piefed. I knew something was wrong with Tesseract but I couldn’t figure out what it was. I wrote a comment about it in a deleted thread that I’ll quote here. This is in response to AdmiralPatrick asking rhetorically if they should have been more up front:

    As someone who’s used Tesseract for years, it would’ve been nice. You said elsewhere that no one else had complained but I had no idea what was going on. I use Voyager on my phone and I had notifications showing up there that were absent in Tesseract. I had comments I’d made from my phone that I couldn’t see from my browser. And, like, comments about the World Cup. Does Tesseract hate football? Sports in general? I had no idea that there was a new semi-secret blocklist and that someone else in that comment chain had committed some unknown-to-me sin elsewhere so I couldn’t continue that discussion with others from my laptop. I ended up keeping a second Lemmy-UI tab open because, as much as I love it, I couldn’t trust Tesseract until this mysterious problem was resolved. Not a great experience.
