Didn’t she literally say this to the teamsters about their potential endorsement?

What about dodecahedron?

It sure looks like him.

A decorated Pentagon official stands in front of the doors, blocked by a scrawny broccoli headed 20 year old.

Sorry, Mr. Musk is busy in here uhhh, can you like comeback another time?

The official walks away dejected, head low, kicking rocks as he goes. And so ended Americas global apartheid, as its maintainers fold under the “rule of law”.

Where did you find this?

But the REAL question is, is our programme to be written in rust or C++?

Score is relative though. On hexbear we have downvotes disabled. This means we can not down vote but also means down votes do not federate.

Studies have shown that down votes actually have a large psychological impact negatively on the user. Down votes are frankly unproductive. They might also encourage bad behavior, because if your goal is to stir the pot then down votes are a great indicator that it’s working.

On hexbear we operate on a fork of Lemmy. One of the changes is to the active algorithm, which makes posts decay faster then core Lemmy. Since the change things move pretty smoothly on the front page.

An automated system of banning is something primed for abuse. We see this already on other platforms that has trigger mechanisms for banning a user pending review. Its a shoot first ask questions later approach that could be weaponized against people.

Echo chamber is a very loaded term. A safe community is a protected community. To someone intruding on a space that values the community it has built, it might look like bad faith action. However, often the inverse is true, and the intruder is the one acting in bad faith. That could mean they willingly or ignorantly disregard the rules of a space, or are unwilling to listen and understand the perspective of a given space, and simply want to argue.

The value in Lemmy is that you can build and curate the kind of site culture and ultimately network culture you desire. If you do not like that culture, you can anyways find another place to hang out.

As it stands, you can implement your ideas using a bot. One thing definitely lacking on Lemmy is a kind of Auto moderator. It should be remembered though that auto moderator was a community built tool until Reddit assimilated it into the site as a core feature.

China is going to collapse any day now…

Hard to tell, it doesn’t look like an airsoft gun. Showing up to a protest with an airsoft gun would be a very bad idea.

Imagine if those same minorities/marginalized groups formed their own constitutionally protected state militias.

“Am I a joke to you?”

I believe in you!

Lol well yes, use your best judgement. But if you see people regularly, as in, you commute in the same space every morning, or in my case, sit quietly while your kids do dance for 45 min every week, at some point you can just inject yourself into the conversation. You’re not a total stranger at that point.

Eavesdrop and butt in on other people’s conversations.

The proposed bill is called the ELON MUSK Act, which stands for Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy.

I want to scream. So fucking dumb.
