It wasn’t really newsworthy, just an abandoned instance hijacked by a handful of nutjobs.

Ya, I’m gonna have to see if we need to blacklist this for our org now. That’s not gonna be popular.

Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!

Yes, please keep all the Elon shit nearly packed into one sub that I can block.

Considering the geographic, economic, and cultural differences among the states, I prefer the strong state argument. You think giving more power to the Federal government is good because you assume those in power will align with your ideals. What happens when you assume wrong and someone like DeSantis has the keys to the White House?

People being antisocial toward their own spouse getting up voted is a troubling sign.

Rather than admit that the other person was correct, you resort to ad hominem? This is exactly the insanity the other person is trying to fight.

FWIW, you’re not alone in your disappointment. I like Lemmy but critical thinking is in short supply.

I recommend avoiding social media.

It’s clearly biased against fingered folks!

Are you making a distinction between those who vote Democrat and the politicians in the party? I would say there is quite a difference there.

I’m not sure there is even a video on that shitty site.

The browser’s original purpose was to market their shitcoin wasn’t it?

Damn, I can only can block users, not instances. Thanks though!

Shame on you.

What/where is the meatball menu please?

I saw another Lemmy post asking “What is something illegal that your workplace did?” and started typing a warning but figured I’d just get downvoted for some “boomer take” as if Lemmy wasn’t recently massively compromised.

I don’t think “free speech” and “don’t be an asshole” are incompatible. I do mostly agree with your take, there different flavors of asshole that are more tolerated than others though.

Ya, the tech interests me. It feels like a version of the earlier internet where private forums and webrings were the norm. I like the native support for blocking things I don’t care to see as well.
