Blue MAGA has been used to describe those who are fierce advocates of the so-called “vote blue no matter who”
ohhhhh! genuinely i have had it backwards this whole time i thought it just meant people using leftist rhetorical tricks to advocate for Trump. still downvoting this article because the concept is clearly just a strawman. seeing it 8.7mil times in the .ml modlogs made that obvious to me.
this is going to become the new “but do you condemn Hamas” isn’t it.
I’m just as critical of Biden as anyone here, and I’d vote for anyone else the DNC put up over him in a heartbeat. But holy shit this entire article is basically saying that Democrats are using Project 2025 as an excuse to deflect criticism from him, ignoring the fact that we’ve been wary of the Heritage Foundation since its inception. It’s actually a good thing that it’s finally getting attention.
“i disagree with what this research says some people think let me downvote”
im so tired yall
kind of already answered my question, just wanted to see if current moderators for !modlog were sufficiently active :) thanks for popping in to answer
yep, posted to !modlog@lemmy.world and it immediately made a downturn 🥲
TIL! pinging @Soullioness@lemmy.world to see if they’re active and/or have thoughts.
cuz yeah my most recent callout post went to !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and a lot of people got really upset at me for being “off topic” 😓 (it was effective btw, yay!)
ah understandable! thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope you can get some rest :)
Hmm it almost seems like you are responding to a different post? I didn’t really say much about timeliness here. :) This is more about corrupt or inappropriate moderation activity.
Nope not really that wouldn’t be good for my health (:
Appreciate the effort in responding, but I count 20 instances that defederate yours, covering several thousand users. That kind of hobbles the functionality of this as a concept. :/
Yeah, I suppose my idea of a decentralized accountability sublemmy would just help make that process a little more efficient.
Obviously it’s still rough and a mess but I think it’s a fair enough decentralized fit-in for Reddit’s centralized moderation authority.
This would be a perfect solution I think, if most major mods and subs weren’t hosted on .world and .ml.
The conflict of interest is real and intense; I have been told directly that certain problematic .world mod activity cannot be addressed because the mods in question are close friends with instance admins.
Thanks for your thoughts :)
These are valid concerns that could certainly prove problematic without further insight. :) Thanks for sharing.
looks at current media cycle
… but is he wrong though? evil seems to be pulling in pretty high ratings these days.
anyway i’l be in my bed, crying quietly.
Sorry man but you have been pretty verbally unkind to me in the past over things not even related to geopolitics or life/death matters. I probably fully match your positions on geopolitics but don’t expect me to relent and say those behaviors have no consequences. :(
some of the vocally anti-biden members of lemmy have been really acerbic in the past and that has carried forward poorly to this date so now there is a lot of animosity towards them even as they are speaking truth.
but yeah i’m really sad. biden’s policy on israel’s genocide cost him michigan, and his refusal to step back might just cost democrats the election. it all snowballs.
precisely. you can’t just ignore articles about the “moronic” things voters are saying, because those “morons” happen to each have a vote. pay attention to them or lose.
it’s been how many days and we are still doing the “downvote the news because i don’t like it” thing?
people reacted to a thing and that reaction is going to have ripples, whether you think that’s a rational response or not. ignoring prescient issues is not campaign action; it’s ignoring prescient issues. and making you look just as bad as fox news et al being wholly submissive to trump.
you look quite silly.
first one of these i have seen with more than 0 points, perhaps the tables begin to turn 😭
