A French Lemmy instance hurt their feelings.

He is literally barred from running by the Constitution because he committed an insurrection. Unfortunately the House, Senate, and Supreme Court are all somewhere between 50 and 67% Christofascist traitors.

I don’t agree with the atrocity they are committing. Link me to my defense of Israel or (my preference) stop telling lies.

That’s could be just exposure to the internet, which turns everyone into a wretched and miserable gremlin.

Just totally normal stuff when leftists team up with the furthest right theocratic authoritarians against their true enemy, classic liberals.

Sometimes facts hurt our feelings and that makes them bad and wrong!

I’ve seen you urging US voters to back third parties despite the mathematical realities of FPTP voting. Of course you prefer discussion on .ml.

I do kinda prefer that idea, or rather, I’ve considered something similar from the perspective of positive ratings. I’d like a way to prioritize content by heavily weighting upvotes from people who I’ve liked interacting with.

It’s like attending a concert. An additional similarity is I wouldn’t attend any of the popular bands’ but might even travel a bit to see one of the indies.

I sure as fuck hope we end up with the president who will make those cosplaying MAGAs continue to whine.

Thank you, that makes so much more sense.

How is repeating that “il y a 23 heures” supposed to be insulting? Are they trying to say the post should have been taken down by now?

There are plenty of comments on Hexbear and .ml from some of the very users in the screenshots that should have been taken down yet remain up to this day. They should go back and comment that on their own works of hatred.

I had the same feeling when I saw that, it’s good to have it available. One caveat is I think the instance admins can mess with the database to hide things, but my understanding is a typical mod cannot.

I would be shocked to discover they’re not already doing this.

Even if you don’t take their bait, someone else will. It makes a toxic forum if writing the wrong thing summons multiple bad faith ahistorical takes. It’s not worth preserving federation for the few who aren’t behaving like that, they can join other instances.

A lot of the removed content appears on instances’ mod logs, is that not meeting what you want?

Repubs have nothing but DARVO to work with when mudslinging.

Federating with Hexbear is the more contentious position. Knowing what I know now, I would not consider using an instance that is federated with Hexbear.

He wants a marketplace of ideas? Not a centrally planned economy of ideas? And Hexbear isn’t calling him a far-right radical?

No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.
