Russia chose to hold in Kherson, and to withdraw around Kharkov

don’t mind me, just saving some of your claims for the future when Ivans will “choose” “a gesture of goodwill” again.

Have you written an explanation for this “regrouping” already? oh nah, let me guess, the city has “no significance”, right? yeah, also let’s spice it up with “heavy” casualties from UAF, “freezing” europe and the west crumbling aaaaany daaaaay noooow; sounds whataboutist enough? good

Sir, you totally engaged with my point, provided a solution and meanwhile have been very respectful to me. I wish to talk more with you, can we maybe meet up for a cup of coffee some time?

You hurt my feelings! Argh, it hurts so much, I cannot take this any more, my life is over, why do you do this to me?!

Well, thanks. But is there any good alternative or at least some approach fundamentally different but not susceptible to the same problems?

Wanna suggest an apolical better alternative or you’re one of those who says “there’s nothing we can do, only criticize”?

Master of debate and rhetoric ladies and gents

I’m just guessing, but maybe just maybe people like you have something to do with it?

The description missed: desperate attempt of OP to paint Wikipedia (the open source successful project which democratized public knowledge) same colours as Facebook and Twitter.

I wonder if there’s some kinda agenda behind it

You got me curious! Could you share some of your hidden gems of lemmyverse: has <10 subs and posts quality content at least once a month?

On the serious note, there’s literally /c/askwomen in lemmy.ca

Why are you so racist to canadians? 🤣

https://lemmy.ca/c/askwomen

Takeover the sub, adopt the canadian persona, post your dimensions and one day I just might come to you

Why am I not people to you?!!!

It’s been 25 mins, ANSWER TO ME

it’s been a 25 mins. I NEED TO KNOW

if you wanna simply to hang out with people, consider joining some matrix chats. Real time communication is easier with instant notifications.

Unpleasant stuff is much less unpleasant over the text

Humans have responsibility to the whole universe, but the real question is how much of that we actually can fulfill. So far we couldn’t even take responsibility to our own specie

Say that China is bad and you’ll see

let’s see your proofs, young man

So how exactly does any of what you said excuse you from consequences of your actions?

So you admit you indent to break rule 2 in the future. Good job making mods look bad

responded in pm, thanks

we DO keep track of both removals per user and general behaviour even if it doesn’t get removed, and too many infractions WILL result in a ban.

Ok let’s talk specifics here, Catraism-Stalinism appeared on modlog 6 times on the span of 2 days. Been complained about dozens of times. At what point he is going to receive his at least temporary ban?

I think this case makes a good precedent that everyone can break the rules dozens of times. So why would anyone bother keeping the rules if you can break them and go unpunished?

Why (such a small) picture tho, why not posting link to the discussion so the viewer could grasp some context?

Other than that, you totally got me saying word “bs”. Wow, the audacity of me. This totally nullifies everything I can ever say.

How about to come up with an alternative and helpfully pm at the author?

Why battle about every little thing when you could just help each other?

I’m kinda surprised how much lemmygrad antagonizes themselves with their brothers on the left.

C’mon, people, if there are your potential supporters, they are here. You don’t gain followers with harassment. This toxicity is totally counter productive here even for your own cause.

I understand the temptation to upvote funny hot take, but trolls in your own family are destroying reputation of your movement, be wary of joining them in their black parade.

Dude, it’s the fediverse. Use another instance that better suits your worldview if you’re this bothered by the opinions here, don’t try to shame and change the existing userbase of an instance for having different political opinions as you.

I’m sorry to chime in but isn’t lemmygrad supposed to be the instance for communists?

People with liberal ideas grind my gears. Having Covid doesn’t help my mood

Just to spell it outloud, the rule book doesn’t have an exception for its application in case “people grind your gears” or “you have a bad mood”.

this is a second account

how about try registering the third one on lemmygrad itself? I’m sure it’s gonna work much better this time. Also, it’s probably inconvenient for you to preview its riches from third party instance. Less chance of chewing on red flags in your gears as well

Do report me when you see me breaking the rules. I dare you

Report based on toxicity and not political disagreements right?

I don’t even know what you stand for politically, buddy and you probably don’t know about my beliefs either. So, eh? what is that about?

Wanna get to know me? welcome to my pm

Meanwhile speaking about you, Catradora_Stalinism, you appeared on modlog half a dozen times within just few days. May I ask why did you register on this instance if you break the rules so often?

I feel toxic users here realized that being terrifying to others blocks inflow of healthy users. And once Lemmy could rely on those, toxic ones wouldn’t be able to be toxic anymore (or be banned).

So they have all the incentive in the world to be awful until admin would decide that enough is enough.

As a healthy bunch, I think we should unblock all the trolls and report their posts one by one. On that note: removing posts is not good enough, the person in question should receive a warning.

If no action follows, we can advocate for clearer warning system and conditions for temporary/permanent bans.

Welp, suppose you want to promote Lemmy to other people.

Honestly it’s embarrassing to ask each of them to clean their feed from insults, trolling, threats etc, one by one. Simply, not good experience to subject new person to.

The instances help but don’t quite receive a lot of traffic and also benefit the creators only indirectly, so… It’s a solution but I think the user retention is low. Each of instances need a lot more content and people for that.

Also once instance gets popular, it may just be swarmed by trolls again and now you can’t recommend this instance again. So running from the problem is only temporary solution imo

Matey, you’ve left your native instance and came to Lemmy.ml just to say to leave you alone? This is hilarious

given Lemmy niche nature so far, it attracts those who was banned elsewhere.

Yes, many extreme posts get dozens of upvotes but on the scale of internet this is nothing. One by one, new users are going to dilute toxic crowd and put them on the backrows where they usually reside.

Well, if you’re agree with a statement you simply press upvote and move on, no need to litter the thread with “+1” comments. On the other hand, if the statement is problematic, I do appreciate people to call it out. Especially if I’m not knowledgeable on the topic and can hurt myself following misleading information.

Is that internet culture a problem?

The question is complicated. So the answer is either very personal or takes decades to research and formulate its mechanics.

I wish someone would link up relevant philosophy developments, authors and Wikipedia pages. That would help to structure the discussion in a more productive way.

on a similar note, here’s a fairly new desktop performant client: minitube. Written in C++, takes 4-5 times less CPU load than browser or electron apps.

I learned colemac and can use it on par with qwerty but it just isn’t integrated as the mainstream:

• Search wouldn’t recognize the language if you chose wrong layout
• Shortcuts: everything’s nowadays designed with qwerty in mind, every alternative is awkward
• subsequently, vim is out
• every other computer is a struggle
• your computer is unusable for anyone else, including colleagues who trying to help you or loved ones who want to check the weather

My plan is to recommend Lemmy whenever users complain about Reddit.
