People should have thought about electing decent politicians decades ago, but far too many have fallen for electing ‘the lesser evil’ instead.

It’s definitely the standout though.

Errors

I guarantee there are many bad people here, because… humans. It’s all about percentages though I guess, at this point a lot of lemmy users wanted something different, something ‘better’, but at some point most lemmy users will just be here because everyone else is here, at which point the decent people will have found the next lemmy (this has already happened no doubt).

It’s partially the platform, partially the moderators, partially the people using it

It’s not good to be the king…

The main issue with reddit, as with every other large platform is the quality of the people using it. They are made worse by the platform itself, but the platform would not be able to be so bad, if the people were not predominantly trash.

If everyone used lemmy, lemmy would be reddit

I should have thought of that, but this is why training is important.

How do I get into lawn shovelling?

I have an onlynofansatall account and I busk in the shower

Nothing should be reposted from twitter, nazis are fertiliser, they serve no other purpose.

social media privacy “gotta keep em separated”

Both formats can serve a purpose, I haven’t put enough/any effort into my mastodon, but the intention was for it to replace bluesky for me, where I tend to have more conversations in threads, than I do here on lemmy.

I’m not going, but I believe musk has room for more passengers, op sounds like they may already have the armband and the moustache.

shaddowbanning is pathetic and lazy.

It is illegal in Australia as well, where anti-israel/anti-zionism/anti-genocide has been remarketed as anti-semitism.

Potential 2 year prison sentence for saying ‘from the river to the sea’ in one of the Australian states.

can I interest you in a spaceship to mars soon?

The “active local content” even here in australia , is often trash on reddit, it still has that murican feel to it. No doubt that varies by location, and subject though. My reddit feed most days is completely empty, it’s more for if I want to look something up, or ask a question about something (guaranteed mixed results there of course, but probably no worse than any other platform).

I’ll have an absinthe thanks

The first part is very unlikely to be true, the second part is probably not a bad thing for lemmy, your “anarchist” friends are most likely much more at home on twitter, facebook, instagram etc.
