Kamala Harris Overtakes Trump in First Major Poll Since Biden Exit From Race
  • I feel like warning people about bad actors is a public service that should be encouraged. If you saw the user's interactions with me you might agree with my theory too. But since you can't even say what I did, Lemmy literally can and will be used as a tool for election interference, with no recourse at all

  • Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn’t Picked J.D. Vance
  • Knock yourself out. You can pretend that this is about "men" and not about a particular man for a particular reason. Enjoy your stupid boring joke -- and the ammo you give moronic republicans who love to do the same kind of shit to democrats.

  • Spreading false information should be avoided if you wish to be seen as being above it. That remains true no matter the content. It seems ridiculous to me that people seem to cling to the joke so hard that I need to spell that out.

  • Not everyone understands the trolling. I believed it might be based on something real for a couple days. Nope, just something that was made up. I've seen numerous people asking about it also, confused as hell...

    I mean even if he really did write some shit like that, it would barely be funny enough to repeat for more than a week. But he didn't.

  • I am a software developer at PornHub
  • And? I'm simply explaining that this video undoubtedly came from there. But even if it didn't, this censorship of super mild words on the Internet never existed before TikTok so it's clearly influenced by them, ie China

  • Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn’t Picked J.D. Vance
  • I fully disagree. He's only getting mocked for that because he's a "manly man" who would surely criticize others for similar things. And punish anyone who isn't cis. No one (surely some exceptions but a very small percentage) mocking him for this would ever do so if he weren't like that.

    And I don't agree that it's fair game to repeat a made up lie because it's supposedly funny. That's what Republicans do.

    After watching Lemmy spout conspiracy theories galore minutes after the trump shooting and also not give a single shit about this "funny meme" being false, it's really got me questioning if the left is any smarter than the right. Something I have taken for granted for decades. It's depressing.

  • Yeah, it's actually not possible for me to imagine Republicans losing the presidency again without claiming fraud. Even if saying that directly stops playing as well, they will just move onto softer language about it. Like when they went from being directly racist to claiming all problems are certain immigrants' fault.

    They will "just ask questions" about particular states' results. I don't think we will come back from that. It may even bleed over to Democrats saying it eventually, just because it's so established in the zeitgeist that it's possible, some lesser thinking Dems may run with it.

    Notice how none of them hesitate to do this shit now. It's because they've started to internalize that democracy is bad because it doesn't give their party the advantages they feel entitled to.

  • Profile karma

    I know that karma is a contentious issue on Lemmy, but I like having the feature where it is displayed on user profiles. For trolls especially, it helps to know if they should be ignored or not, like if they have -3000 karma for example. I have always noticed karma appearing in boost when viewing a user's profile, but today after logging out and back in, I noticed I no longer have that feature. Karma is no longer shown on profiles for me.

    It doesn't seem like anyone else is having the issue and the recent changelog entries don't mention it. Did I inadvertently change a setting and now I just can't find that setting to change it back?
