    Most controversial DT in c/Melbourne history? Lol

    I don’t care too much, but let’s get back to our usual more upbeat antics. I’ll start by sharing magpie:

    It was staring at us while we were barbecuing on Sunday. Everybody was sure it was going to try and swoop some bread or a snag, but it just sat there, staring, for an uncomfortably long time. Felt a little bad ngl, but if I feel wildlife, I’d rather feed them something more nutritious than home brand white bread

        “so uhh, you gonna eat that bread?”

        Or alternatively:

        Seriously, I really like maggies

        I was referring to the contents. Too much America. Fair few down votes around.

        Edit: but WTH, why are there two people down voting the DT now??

          for many of us our personal and family lives are entwined with America

          we have loved ones and friends there, I myself lived there for about 6 years

            No need to jump on the defensive again, seagoon. I was answering a question, not attacking your beliefs

                  Have some empathy? You’re 17, not 7. You can stop and think about the DTers in here who have stated they have family in the US, and are scared about a Fascist Dictator and his Tech Whore ruling the most powerful country on Earth for (at least) the next four years. Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.

                  Can you just stop for a second and fucking think about the people here? This place isn’t just your echo chamber, it’s for everyone. And considering you haven’t stated you have friends or family there that you’re scared for, maybe just wait until tomorrow to shit on US citizens ey?

                    Well this escalated. Umm so I kinda feel uncomfortable. It’s a tough day but I didn’t read anything nefarious in Baku’s comment. It’s a magpie, with a comment to say it’s to distract from the heavier stuff. No big deal. There’s plenty of other lighter posts here today for the same reason. Like you said, 17.

                    I’m sorry, I know this is a serious convo but Tech Whore. 😂

                    This needs to go into the next Collins Dictionary as word of the year.

                    I can still express my opinion on matters. This place isn’t just your echo chamber, either. Diverse viewpoints aren’t something that needs to be removed, like you seem to think. I’ll have my opinions, as you, and everybody else does, too. You don’t need to like mine, as I don’t need to like yours

          I think some people downvote the DT regularly because it appears in their general Lemmy feed and is pretty distinctly different to most of the other stuff in the network

            Ah yep, that makes sense I suppose. Kinda weird though, it’s not like Lemmy has an algorithm it can use to learn what posts you don’t like. Probably easier to just block the community
