I usually maxed out at one person at a time anyway, so finding a spouse fit my life quite easily. Which, incidentally, has mostly exempt me from this scenario.

However the random requirement to socialize with other people’s spouses and other couples due to children… Well, that’s necessity. Like work.

I am friendly and socialable at work, which ends everyday at the agreed upon time. That doesn’t keep me up at night.

The neat thing about Hasan is that his hate machine has to resort to manufacturing controversy about him.

That Mad Mage just isn’t making sense!

It’s like a purposeful troll on a group with a persistent completionist mentality.

When (if) they catch on the DM can help expedite their routing.

I get that some communities want to curate their content and contributors, but pre-emptive bans and such aren’t going to be an effective method. It’s usually net counter-productive, as we see playing out here.

Most people won’t understand, care, or even notice. The few that do tend to take it as a provocation than a lesson, anyway.

Hryhoriv kinda poisoned the well for any vestige of the ataman system to have survived revolution.

The communism-anarchism conflict often resembles the divide between urban and rural society.

It isn’t insurmountable.

A deep comment thread without a single intentional misquote and ‘so you hate pancakes’ tactic. Love to see it.

I am on the same instance so my Local feed has a constant stream of posts and comments before they’re purged for curation. I don’t run an equivalent counter-MoG so all there is are deleted comments from Permanently Deleted threads. There’s a reason the focus is on screenshots of 2 minute old comments with names censored out.

Like a user named BeanCounter was an alt of someone who spammed .ml users with death threats. There’s nothing left of their posts or comments to reference today. Some of it was on older versions of Lemmy so I am not sure it can even be searched for anymore.

Mostly it has reduced to just a few people personally harassing the lemmy devs and a few powerusers by other powerusers. But two years ago especially it was aggressive enough the devs started doing content moderation.

Which, of course, has become a new focus.

What’s wrong with being an anti-leftist?

Uh…

You follow with referencing “leftists” as a something of a falsehood… So do you mean to ask what is wrong with being an ‘anti-“leftist”’ or ‘anti-leftist’…?

Gotta respect the cern.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.

None of these are mutually exclusive.

There are so extremely many stories of people that were not missed in [email protected] if you want to read about it happening to others.

I wouldn’t broadcast the content of that community as accurate or in good faith. It is heavily curated and includes sockpuppet accounts by the mod team going onto those instances to create their evidence. It’s run by avowed voat users.

You gotta be careful with anti-authoritarianism sometimes considering the kind of anti-leftist company it can attract.

Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.

This was because I always compared them to Apple.

So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.

Yeah, considering the ‘downvote all .ml’ mentality that exists.

You know… I am genuinely curious how many of the votes here are purely a response to cyrillic text.

Nearly ten years of my life essentially reduced to “Keep poop in ground, not on ground.”

Dogs: omnivorous pack animals designed to consume just about anything, like the wily human.

Cats: carnivorous obligate hunters unable to effectively consume carbohydrates and despite the popular trope and demonstrable desireability, tend to be unable to digest fish both of which finds its way into all their food. Also they’re picky assholes.

working together with each other and Russia and the US against the EU and the UN

Precisely. Undermining the EU and the UN is the common thread.

Ultranationalists support ultranationalism up until the point there’s an overlap in blood and/or soil which case ultranationalists will zealously butcher each other. Nothing is more legitimizing than warfighting.
