One is so much worse it's like comparing breakfast cereal to arsenic.

~~No no, they're equally bad. According to the just-created account in its 1st ever comment.~~

@wahming@monyet.cc, the user @DMBFFF@kbin.social has existed for eleven months and has commented multiple times. You may disagree with the commenter, but please verify things before posting.

That's weird. I wonder if it's because they're a kbin account. My client still insists they have only 2 comments in their history.

I've created accounts on lemmy, reddthat, and here last summer (I have problems accessing Bee Haw, though), though I haven't been active much until perhaps now as my reddit account of the same name has been suspended the 4th time, and they also got a few of my alts (I wasn't ban evading, gaming points or the like). I've probably made most of my comments on kbin.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I can see your history on pc. On mobile though, it insists you've never made any comments before this post. Probably kbin has some different api or something.

maybe having to choose between eating 300 kg of sugary breakfast cereal or a gram of arsenic, over the rest of this year.

It's the choice of a wacko RINO, and a Republican-lite who also supports Israel and a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs.
