Well that’s kind of a weird quirk to have.

OP have you ever been to Kent State? Or Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia? I hear they’re lovely destinations.

USSR, I want it back

I guess you’re right. I’ll try switching instance and hopefully that will help.

I know there’s been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.

Liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism, etc.

Noita, so confusing and not really very much fun IMO.

This game looked like trash from the announcement trailer, anyone lining up to pre-order a Bethesda game though, what can you do? Some people want to get their pockets picked.

How is that any different from what I’ve been saying? Liberals from beehaw also have ‘mass downvoted’ people for being communist or pro China etc, but does that mean everyone from that community should be blocked? As for good faith discussion you’re just defining comments you don’t agree with as being inherently bad faith. I mean I’m sure there’s some comments just like ‘kill yourself lol’ that are completely without merit but like I said it just seems like an instinctual anti communist reaction.

Well I haven’t been on this site for very long so maybe I’ll see what you mean eventually. I still think it’s best in general to not fracture this already-tiny community though.

But how do you differentiate ‘brigading’ from just being outside the ideological orthodox of a given community? Shouldn’t bad actors just be banned personally?

To be fair it’s not like I know what lemmygrad does, I only joined yesterday, but it just seems like typical ‘tankiephobia’, I don’t exactly agree with MLs on everything either but some of what they get accused of is just beyond the pale. I mean generally if someone is a western liberal they don’t get endlessly accused of being a mass war crime apologist even though that’s basically what the ‘war on terror’ was.

Behaviour like what though? Disagreeing? I don’t even know what ‘sealioning’ means, it basically seems like just saying ‘this person has different fundamental assumptions to me therefore they’re acting in bad faith’.

What a ridiculous false dichotomy, obviously subs which are just creating outright machine spam should be blocked but the current policy is just creating complete echo chambers where the orthodoxy of the admins isn’t challenged.

And that doesn’t apply to liberals and every other ideology on this site? Every person has a political view which affects their opinions
