Only in swing states.

Most states you know exactly what the outcome is going to be, no matter how hard you or they campaign.

We understand FPTP and the electoral college.

staunch communist, Newsom.

Lol.

Kinda seems like we should just listen to the French then

16 years ago, that was Reddit for me.

Guess we'll see.

What's the grey area? The capitalist said the quiet part out loud (on purpose) to push the bandaid that is tax reform?

Cool. We can still use his admission to point out this inherent adversarial relationship between classes and call for the reappropriation of his class's wealth.

Dude isn't an ally. Unless your goal is tax reform. But the goal of any socialist should be to abolish private property and give the proletariat ownership of the means of production.

Looks like I confused this comm with the politics comm, but considering this comm is following the decision of that one a week later, I think the reasoning stands:

Of course it isn't. Your goal is to stifle criticism of Biden from the left.

We know this started because a (presumably, leftist) user stated they only care to share negative content of Biden and were banned.

How is one individual possibly manipulating the community if we're all reading it, agreeing, and upvoting?

Just shelve the paternalism and focus on spam and other areas of rightful moderation.

If the articles are news, they're news. End of.

Let's not pretend like this comm isn't overrun with accounts that (rightfully) post articles that are only critical of conservative policies and politicians. Are you going to ban them for not also posting critical of liberals? Must they criticize leftists?

This will be entirely used in a one sided way to censor criticism of Biden. I think that's obvious.

Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.

Best instance stays winning.

Well it's definitely not Reddit lite.

Removed itself to drive traffic to other instances last summer (if this is the same tool).

Best instance stays winning.

If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode, even if only partially funding the project alongside other funding from e.g. the EU, then I can well understand why he would want to see them kept happy - on top of what he may feel personally.

You people are so lost up your own asses, you will never find yourselves. Conspiratorial nonsense driven by your McCarthyism 2.0 with a complete lack of self awareness.

But I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from a NATO funded user and instance, right? The Heritage Foundation and CIA signing the checks over here?

not merely removing comments, but also mass-banning from communities people have never commented in before

So moderating their instance?

and then deleting the mod log entries afterwards

Where's the evidence for this? I didn't see that in the original post.

tankies are advocating for a society where I and those like me would be killed.

Where and why would you be targeted by them?

The FUD spreaders continuing to spread FUD. You know what's great for Lemmy, this platform you're using that was developed by that Dev you're coming for? Inter instance drama, surely.

Cold War 2 bullshit.

He's the guy who's overlooking her from a cliff when she faints in the desert after losing her arm

I don't care for the drama on Hexbear. And I don't care for it here either. This post is drama baiting.

The difference is that before you walked up and got in line or got in early enough that you walk in and choose your seats. And your position was based on your arrival order. Now, you walk up and sorry all seats but the front were bought up and no they aren't here yet of course. Why would they be? It used to be you just timed it so you got there 30/45 minutes before the start.

I'm just yelling at clouds honestly. It's not that big a thing, and I reserve seats nowadays often, but mostly because I basically have to. Also, theaters are only ever crowded enough to care during tent pole releases and nowadays I just wait a few weekends.

I just find the social contact of getting to the venue when an event takes place early/on time to get your pick a better experience than choosing a seat on an app early. Probably a condition from growing up pre reservations.

Assigned seats mean you can hardly just ad hoc decide to see a movie nowadays. You basically have to plan it out. Used to be "hey let's see the showing at 6. Ok let's get there at 5:30 then." Now, you go look and people already took the best seats and shows up mid preview. Or people buying literally all the seats weeks ahead of time for blockbusters.

How fun.

I haven't seen any blockbuster on opening weekend in probably over a decade because I know the good seats are already purchased.

Also, the seating maps aren't great.
