So far on Lemmy, whenever I see someone comment this, it's because they're mad Reddit got "toxic towards my free speech to stupid ass MAGA nonsense". Is that what you mean by Reddit being "toxified"?

Can we hear more about NATO crumbling? I'm very curious. The video didn't address it very well and whatever this is that you just posted seems like dribble.
So... NATO. Their plan has crumbled? What comes next?
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 100%
DEVASTATING??? Wow! NATO has crumbled?
Does this mean the war is over? Geez. Devastating... I can't believe NATO just crumbled like that.

They haven't read them now, and they still bring it up constantly. Sorta like the constitution. Most of them own shirts that say We The People, or a sticker on their truck, or a flag on their house, or a trucker hat, but none of them have ACTUALLY read the constitution, let alone have any idea what's contained within it.

I left Reddit for Lemmy a month ago.
The comments in politics communities around here do not live up to Reddit's yet. Close sometimes.
This comment is the first time I've actually laughed. Brilliant. I actually went at read the article just because of this comment. Cheers.

Lmao. You got banned? Hilarious.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 100%
Okay, fair enough. Although, honestly, I'm struggling to figure something out and maybe you know.
If Lemmy users all hated Reddit and Reddit users so much, why did they all go there and try to convince everyone from Reddit to come to Lemmy when the API debacle happened?
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 72%
Mass exodus from Reddit is because of API, not because the marijuana subreddit is called trees. You think the number of users skyrocketed the day API closed because people were mad about foodporn? No.

I'm blown away that this finally sunk in with you! Congratulations! I was starting to believe you just weren't capable.
You missed one small detail though. That the very idea of the Fediverse is for people to come here. I suppose that's why all the Lemmy users came to Reddit and screamed "Join Lemmy!!!".
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 100%
Fuck, you're exhaustingly clueless. I'd have better luck chatting with a wall. Best of luck man
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 50%
Brother. This is disingenuous. I've explained, again, multiple times. This is nothing about Marxist leninists. That's not the issue here.
The issue is bad actors on Lemmy. This isn't that complicated. Surely, now, after all these comments, you have to have at least the smallest understanding of the difference. If you cannot admit that there's a difference between a political ideology and idiots manipulating a political and news aggregation site, then you and I will just have to part ways there.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 100%
Fact? What's a fact? It was started by tankies? Wtf does that have to do with anything? Do we owe them some sort of respect for blessing us with this beautiful platform?
You have a weird adoration for political trolls
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 50%
You're being disingenuous again. I've already laid it out multiple times. Why the hell would I follow them there? I dont give a shit that they exist and I didn't follow them here.
Also, as noted several times already, I know who they are. I know they've been here for years. I just don't care. I'm not sure why that's so tough for you to understand.
This place has promise. The structure is good. The app environment is good. There's some bright people here.
But, this place has a significant problem. Calling them Marxists is laughable. They're nothing more than trolls. There's no political ideology involved. Just chaos and make-believe. Lemmy will be better off without them, regardless of if they helped start it or not.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 50%
Lol. This was their space?
Is this some sort of closed group? Power? I'm on no quest for power. It's an extreme distaste for dishonest, disingenuous, misinformation spreading, racist, misogyny and violent rhetoric.
Power is not something I seek. But, watching you guys fade off into obscurity like you did when you originally landed on Lemmy, that will be amusing.

Why are you constantly defending these tactics? You're a mod here.
You want your politics community to be a shit hole? Then you allow this stuff.
Brand new user spams 6 threads at once to mainstream communities, clearly race baiting by posting in !politics, !conservative, !Florida, !news, ! worldnews.
So, as you and I have discussed before, if you want to have a legitimate community to aggregate and discuss politics, you must eliminate bad actors. No matter what type of content they post.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 25%
Yep, I know. That's what will make this even funnier.
And, to be clear, these are not just "communists". I'm not sure if you're a Lemmy tankie or not, and frankly, it doesn't matter.
They troll,, manipulate content, manipulate votes, brigade threads all over Lemmy. They spout nonsensical bullshit and talk shit t everyone. They promote violence and obfuscate facts. They're a cancer.
If and when Lemmy gains more popularity, they'll be forced to cower in a safe space, like every other group of trolls who try to do the same thing on other sites. The vast "majority" of people think they're annoying, dangerous, useless and a pain in the ass. Not here on Lemmy, yet, but it's coming.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 50%
Yes? Florida isn't here. Tankies are. If Desantis shows up, let me know, and I'll tell him to fuck off as well.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 28%
Hah, no. Definitely not.
And I'm most certainly not conservative. Tankies in the wiki sense and tankies in the Lemmy sense are not the same. Both are dumb as shit, but different.
Tankies on Lemmy are a lot closer to less organized and, somehow, even dumber than /r/theDonald.
Imagine if you will a Trump rally run by junior high school kids. That's Lemmy tankies
Edit: also, I'm not the one who replied to you with the wiki link
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 18%
I'm pretty sure that Lemmy was pretty much inhabited by tankies and MAGA. Then, Reddit showed up.
Now the same bullshit they've been circle jerking each other over is getting called out. I enjoy the downvotes. As Lemmy gets more popular, these geniuses are gonna be fun to watch.
You can only get away with spamming sensational bullshit, conspiracy theories and brigading for so long. The general public thinks they're fuckin idiots. So, the more people who show up, the better it will get.
It will help a lot too when lemmygrad folks aren't modding a bunch of communities.

Was Lemmy just a MAGA and Lemmygrad shit show before the Reddit people got here?
So, if I understand... You're upset people are talking about climate change?

He's just your standard Lemmygrad genius. It's like /r/theDonald, but somehow, almost dumber, which I thought would be difficult.

How do you appear in every single thread removed about liberals? You know your people have safe zones? Why not just go there.
Grab yourself a hot little Truth Social ™ account and you can rant about brown people and LGBTQ people all you want. Nobody will complain.
Come on, it'll be fun. Y'all can compare truck flags.

I'm more annoyed they're intermingled. The small userbase here isn't posting enough to fill a feed, but the bots do make things weird.
If you're in a news community, politics, tech space, etc. it can be pretty annoying to have both bots and users posting. Maybe if it was a news community that was only bots or no bots, that would be an improvement.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 90%
Huh, usually when someone posts dumb shit like this they're purposely trolling. But you seem to just be genuinely oblivious. Good on ya buddy.

I've edited my original comment. It appears he was right. Names were off, but coordinates seem correct.
Personally, I'd prefer verified sources, as that stops wild speculation, but I concede this post was correct.
Ohthereyouare 1 year ago • 100%
Hm. Interesting. Are those the coordinates from Telegram OP's Google map?

Leaving Reddit and Twitter, trying to find some sources in the Fediverse to keep up to speed with the invasion of Ukraine. Anyone have recommendations for people on Mastodon or communities here on Lemmy that are reliable and up to date?
