No genocide is actually a genocide until it is called a genocide, at which point it is the fault of the person calling it a genocide.

You can tell it's true because of how it makes sense.

It's not genocide unless it comes from the genocide region of France

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

These are just sparkling war crimes.

Goddamnit i dunno how I'll ever use it but I'm stealing this

I know, he's a fascist, that's what they do. You claim to offer an alternative, not a lessened degree, even if history and current events proves that's a fucking lie.

I'll vote for the lesser evil, but I'll be damned if I do it without calling it evil.

At least you're fucking voting. The number of bad faith actors here arguing to protest vote or not vote is scary.

I’d wager many of them aren’t US citizens anyway.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

You're right, there's clearly bad faith foreign actors all over here.

Ah yes, the idea that many people "support genocide"

[–] draneceusrex@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

You don't like genocide, you say? Just wait till you hear about all the fun new things the Republicans have in store for us with Project 2025!

What Reddit has that lemmy doesn’t though is something called “nuance.” Which is how you end up with shit-tier posts like this one getting upvoted here.

For all the fault Reddit has, and there is a FUCKTONS of it, no one that I’ve seen on Reddit supports genocide- that is, unless you go to specific subreddits. But then again, there are specific communities here that also seem to support it.

So, no- What the problem is here- is that OP is notorious for accusing EVERYONE of supporting genocide if they so much as even slightly disagree with their bullshit. The mod logs speak for themselves in the event anyone wants to challenge this and accuse me of lying.

In fact, they were recently banned from a community for exactly that. They have a history of spreading misinformation and trolling.

Now, let’s see how accurate I was about that whole nuance thing.

The largest problem facing wider adoption of Lemmy IMO is that many of the people who were banned from reddit for being poorly socialized ended up on a Lemmy instance, and many of them remain unwilling to view their behavior as the problem.

Many mods/admins need to do a better job of keeping their communities welcoming, imo. Engagement for engagement's sake makes no sense on nonprofit platforms.

Lemmy being the Australia of social networks. We do what we can mate 🇦🇺

reddit knows you don't like what it's doing but reddit also knows you're still on reddit

Is reddit considered a microblog?

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, but OP is running low on communities he hasn’t been banned from. So, this is what works.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

No, it's a link aggregator.
