Well okay then
Well okay then
Things are just constantly happening
Yes. You are going crazy.
Your comparison with Karen and CVS fails on numerous accounts and lemme spell them out for you.
CVS is an established megacorporation. A bunch of Karens saying that they wont get business from them anymore is meaningless to something that brings in billions of profit.
Karens are not connected beyond vague occasional facebook groups and other types of groups.
Lemmy.world is not established as the be-all and end-all of the fediverse. In fact, it’s shown that it’s badly managed in the sense that the site is non-functional more often than not. Various features just do not work here, show context as example, and the admins are more focused on the fallout over a troll post than working on the site.
Users of this website are the only thing that lemmy.world has. Due to it’s lack of stability on numerous counts, if there’s a mass exodus of users it no longer becomes financially viable to keep the site running the way that it is or even at all. Due to the relatively small amount of users, a mass leaving incident so early in it’s life cycle could kill the site.
Lemmy users are organized on the very site that they are leaving. Comments can be left to point out why the person is leaving. This isn’t being screamed at a single cashier, this would be visible to numerous people in the product they’re using.
First off, lemme just say that I left reddit because I was sick of the site bowing more to a corporate end than listening to the people and being somewhat reasonable. Lemmy.world is now guilty of that. I genuinely dunno how much longer I’ll stay around this instance if this is the type of administration we see at the start.
Second, there is no situation in which lemmy.world could be considered legally responsible for that of another instance, allowing access to them or not. Merely blocking the instance in its entirety shows a disgusting amount of overreach on behalf of the administrators. The whole point of the fediverse is to NOT cut oneself off from everything, but lemmy.world keeps showing that it is willing to do so time and time again.
You’re being downvoted but you are completely correct. By American standards the democrats are left wing but by the rest of the world they’re incredibly conservative.
If you were to honestly compare the American Democratic party to the Canadian Conservative Party you would have a shockingly close fit.
In America it’s not right vs left. It’s, at best, right vs centrist.
No. The US is 50 states that are masquerading as countries. Moreover, I didn’t say that it should split into 50 countries, now did I?
The thing your missing is everything I fucking said.
So if you acknowledge that it’s a rural versus urban issue and not a geographic East versus West issue
I acknowledged that rural/urban was an issue, not the issue. Moreover, I said that East vs West was one of multiple examples I gave. Meaning that North/South/East/West are all a disaster and no one gets along. You know. Like I said.
Your comment is based on a failed understanding on your part, not an issue of logic on mine.
I feel like you have a poor understanding of a lot that you talk about.
No, I understand pretty well.
This issue isn’t a east coast vs west coast thing. This is a rural vs urban issue.
I never said that it was an east vs west thing. I used east vs west as one of a couple of examples. The issue is that the country is catastrophically divided between numerous sides who see their point as being ‘right’. In doing so, they are destroying the lives of EVERYONE by constantly pulling the chain. The country is so large that this constant pulling of the chain is fragmenting every state. No one is getting what they want or what they need. Shit I’ve already said and I’m tired of re-explaining myself.
Rural vs Urban is a problem, and one that needs to be talked about, but it has no place in response to the comment that I’ve made. Your entire point falls flat when other countries have similar issues but to a far less extreme extent. The push and pull of Urban and Rural isn’t what’s causing your country to invade the foreign democracies of others. It isn’t what’s pushing your country to disavow it’s own citizens so heavily that they literally rot away in prisons, eaten by bed bugs. The push and pull of Urban/Rural isn’t what’s allowing gun rights to run on an extremist route where you have one side saying “Please reduce access to guns so my children don’t die” and the other side then responding with increasing the amount of firearms in/near/around schools. The push and pull of Urban/Rural isn’t what’s having one side say “We welcome Immigration” and the other side installing circular saw blades and nets in rivers to saw immigrants in half or for arresting people who dare to give food/water to immigrants.
I’m not entertaining your nonsense any further.
