This is not a sign of health. It just means that a small amount of people is in control of the narrative. Ironic, considering lemmy and what it proposes to project.

Edit: Yes please, downvote. Lemmy is the digital equivalence of gentrification.

Thank you for this! I was too lazy to post the meme. ️️️

I lurk, comment, and occasionally post. I'm certainly not one of the 20. I'm not sure what that makes me.

A-frirmative.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Spin up your ideologically pure instance that does everything right and show us how to do things.

You dont knooooow me.

Just just a maneuver... The maneuver.

We all need an asshole because everybody poops.

Boss made a dollar
I made a dime

That was a poem
From a simpler time.

Now boss makes a thousand
And gives us a cent

While he's got employees
Who can't pay the rent.

When boss makes a million
And the workers make jack

That's when we strike
And take our lives back.

Reddit/Digg was a link aggregator, so the fact that this platform is often mostly memes shows how little we’re actually engaging with the web as a network of blogs/personal sites/news etc by now in this world of paywalls, blocking adverts, cookie preferences, and age verification. Do actually share cool stuff you find though.

I lost my housing and had to move. I got a new job that doesn't allow me to post the entire time.

Just post that you think genocide is wrong and they will delete your account for you.

As long as it’s the right people, I don’t really care. It’s about building community anyway, not consuming it.

But I love the wizardposting

Good for you the Picard maneuver

Sorry to hear that

Nono, i'm on Lemmy. I can only point out issues and whine about them.

I have no patience for campism, which puts me on the bad side of many people on here who adore playing tribalist games about how some atrocities and some racism is good, for some bizarre fucking reason.

Separately, I argue with a very bitter tone, which also puts me on the bad side of many people, and those folk are much more justified in feeling negatively towards me.

Idk, banning any slight USA “criticism” (if that’s even what that was) feels like unnecessary shrinking the community, but modding is work too & someone has got to do it … then again vibe banning feels like a wrong way forward.

It wasn't about "USA criticism", but the idea that South Korea is an American 'colony' is not only bizarre but a common tankie canard - one which you repeated in several comments in that thread.

Generally I don’t think ppl should be banned solely on pov (without being uncivil or something actually bad). No warning or a chance to reply. Just ban.

POV is often something actually bad. I'm not here to make the comms I moderate a safe space for campists and fascists or their talking points. If you want to talk bullshit about 'occupied Korea', that's what the tankie triad is for.

This isn't a metaphorical Nazi bar, and I'm not about to let it become one no matter how politely it's phrased.
