Misleading title by propaganda pushing "news" sub. It's funny that I can often know before checking whether or not a post is "world news" just by the title

Crime is a social construct = wage theft is a social construct, and according to the law of internet arguments something being a social construct means it doesn't matter and/or it's dumb to complain about it, so don't worry, it's all fine.

women are going to start saying they won't match with guys who aren't subscribing to this. I guarantee it.

So much victim blaming in this thread.

in the Lemmy industry, some people try to accumulate meaningless points and drive "engagement" by reposting bad posts from the website that everyone here claims to hate.......and it works.

Spoken like a true redditor. Leave that mindless stupid `manhating bullshit behind there.

I keep seeing this type of argument being made, the problem is though, it's not just political differences.

These users will brigade, follow you around, harass you, post objectionable memes and content, etc if you disagree with them. If you think that it's just "political differences" and not a big deal, I suggest you spend your time preaching to the group that actually can't handle being disagreed with and not the rest of us for simply noticing and talking about how horrible that group is.

I've also seen "we're adults, so lets just move on and not defederate/ban" but the problem here is one group is not actually acting like adults so that argument doesn't work.

Already commented once but wanted to add: After my interactions with hexbear and the aggressive and disproportionate way they responded, I was legitimately left feeling my personal irl safety could be in danger.

Lemmy in general and Lemm.ee specifically should not be a place where users are left feeling like that over innocuous statements or opinions.

Defederate.

I initially started using lemm.ee when joing the fediverse. Once you federated hexbear I left for lemmy.world within days, not really because I wanted to but because I felt I had to. I was being harassed because of a single comment that received over 100 responses. None of them were constructive arguments or legitimate discussion, all just trolling and insults. Lemm.ee is not usable anymore as a result of federating hexbear. I'm sure I'm far from the only user who feels that way. If you want lemm.ee to continue to be a viable instance there is no other choice.

Think about this way: f they were acting this way while promoting fascism, you wouldn't even have a discussion post, you would just defederate. Because they claim to be communist and left-wing (though their actually still promoting fascism) you feel the need to deliberate. Just do the thing that you already know has to be done. Stop dragging it out.

I got an account suspended, not banned, full site-wide suspension by the admins literally for saying I didn't like a comic. No profanity, no racism, no trolling, it was a parent level comment so not snapping back at anyone. It said something along along the lines of (paraphrasing as I don't remember the exact words) "Has anyone noticed that webcomics are never funny?" That;'s it. Site-wide account suspension .

Did they get Sidney Powell? I noticed her name suspiciously absent from this post. I took note of it, then the first comment I see is yours saying they did. Been busty at work and only read a couple of short articles, none of them mentioned her name.
