The stage task was absolute cinema

Looks like you accidentally reposted this FYI

Tfw responding to a text message is the most social thing you have done all week

Yes that does look like vote manipulation. Thank you for notifying us. Those accounts will be banned.

Do you ever let the kids play games with butt scooters like these? If not I would highly recommend adding them to your curriculum. Those things were the bomb

How can you call “the transgender topic” at all “controversial”?

🤯

What universe are you living in where everyone agrees and has the same opinions about transgender people? It’s more or less the definition of a controversial topic.

The fact that you think this is worthy of posting in this community is bizarre. It’s hard for me to imagine a more agreeable and reasonable statement.

A lot of users on hexbear and lemmygrad, along with some users on .ml, have some extreme political positions that are worth documenting in this community. But I don’t think this post fits the criteria at all. In general, I don’t think Nutomic has ever really expressed any tankie opinions, so I don’t understand why people continue to persecute him while using the software that he helped build.

If you have a problem with lemmy.ml as a server that’s one thing, but it’s pretty trashy to harass the volunteer developer of a FOSS platform that you use for free. How about finding someone else to pick on, there’s plenty of worse people out there.

People tend to generalize and assume a lot without actually taking the time to verify their assumptions. It’s very frustrating when people demonize admins due to the bad behavior of a handful of users. Trying to win the approval of random goons is a waste of time anyway.

From my perspective you seem like a normal and good person and I think people will eventually come to see that as Lemmy grows up.

They do have a history of removing threads and posts that get too popular though. I remember several incidents where highly upvoted comments and posts about Lemmy got removed for seemingly no reason.

It’s probably impossible for them to entirely prevent discussion about Lemmy so they instead astroturf and try to manipulate the discussion to portray the platform in a bad light. It seems to be an extremely effective tactic, unfortunately for us.

Reddit’s obfuscation of upvotes and downvotes is problematic, and makes it trivial for them to manipulate any discussion if they feel like it. Not to mention their ability to just nuke anything they don’t like with no repercussions.
