I wouldn't use any of those other features. I just browse by top all 1/6/12 hr (which piefed lacks) and the theme isn't great either.

How does it offer either of those things? I see an 'attitude %' on hover, and it says it has 'strong moderation tools'. But I mean 100% community run. Subscribers have to vote on bans or something. And proof of personhood verification tests.

Yeah there was still problems with the admins. But 95% of the problems people encountered day-to-day and what killed discussion and the vibe was virgin subreddit mods.

Good thing in the uk is most main streets have multiple charity shops where you can go in and buy second hand clothes and the proceeds go to charity. Not really any stigma around doing this and fairly common! Google says 80% of the uk visit them, vs 20% for thrift stores in the states.

Doesn't really work once spaces are established. Most of reddits problems aren't the admins, it's the volunteer subreddit mods which function just the same as lemmy.

Yes we're missing two things

  • Anonymous ID / Reputation system to tell it's a human
  • Community-run moderation. So some chronically online sadsack can't ban you from a significant portion of lemmy for life because you disagreed with them.

Examples? Top posts of the past month for r/politics there’s literally nothing. Got bored scrolling.

They’re annexing it in the capitalist sense not the government one. He’ll have cut a deal with them to carve up Gaza and sell it to the highest bidder with Trump getting the commission.

Those other things you mentioned aren’t being talked about any less either.

Most Palestine spaces banned anyone who explained why Trump was objectively worse so yes, the ones who created those echo chambers and participated spreading those narratives to the wider population deserve to be called on it.

We are. Your options were genocide and uber genocide.

I don’t think the dems care about leftists it’s other leftists who are saying yous have been had.

Why do they get a say

I was well aware of it. Talking about the global spotlight. MSM coverage. That is when real change is possible. It's not an excuse it's reality.

That change in the analogy does not work because they were already going after all Palestinians, my dude. So who is the family is this analogy?

Well, they weren't. They ramped up settlements in the west bank, using the tricks they learned in Gaza, and now are going to ethnically clense the entire population of gaza. The analogy holds.

Clearly you and I just disagree on a fundamental level. I don’t care what noises someone makes with their mouth while committing heinous acts, and I do not see a moral difference between committing a genocide and arming the people that you know are committing a genocide. Would you also make excuses for the people who knowingly worked with Nazis and made weapons for them?

Well there is a difference, of course. Not everything is binary, there is always nuance. I'd tell you to vote for the nazi' if they were running against a worse oponent, yes. Just like I'd suggest voting for Trump if he was running against Hitler.
