Hence weighted by reputation.

*for the better option.

Idk. Ban from communities after negative karma threshold with an automatic vote weighted by users subreddit karma to appeal? Just the first thing that popped to mind though sure there’s better ways. Matrix was working towards something iirc last i checked.

As it stands you can get blocked for life from a significant portion of lemmy for saying Trump is worse than Kamala would’ve been.

What a daft thing to say. Shove your shill gambit up your arse ya troglodyte and grow a spine.

I am a leftist, not a liberal. IDK what the liberals are doing or why you’re telling me. I’m pretty sure they stole the election - but the narratives equating Trump/Kamala on Palstine certainly contributed to lower-turnout and apathy.

Brother I have done plenty.

And they aren’t mutually exclusive. You should be doing the other things AND voting for whatever party is most aligned with your views that has a chance of winning.

I’m Scottish not American.

And bad faith how, this guy has based his identity around Chomsky who agrees with what I’m saying. He is arguing in bad faith ‘Are you sure you’re an anarchist?’ lol

No that is your logic. You’d be pro-supporting-the-lesser-genocide. There’s no lesser option that is available beyond your choice. There is for someone who abstained, so their position actively supported exacerbating the genocide.

I wouldn’t use any of those other features. I just browse by top all 1/6/12 hr (which piefed lacks) and the theme isn’t great either.

How does it offer either of those things? I see an ‘attitude %’ on hover, and it says it has ‘strong moderation tools’. But I mean 100% community run. Subscribers have to vote on bans or something. And proof of personhood verification tests.

Yeah there was still problems with the admins. But 95% of the problems people encountered day-to-day and what killed discussion and the vibe was virgin subreddit mods.

Good thing in the uk is most main streets have multiple charity shops where you can go in and buy second hand clothes and the proceeds go to charity. Not really any stigma around doing this and fairly common! Google says 80% of the uk visit them, vs 20% for thrift stores in the states.

Doesn’t really work once spaces are established. Most of reddits problems aren’t the admins, it’s the volunteer subreddit mods which function just the same as lemmy.

Yes we’re missing two things

• Anonymous ID / Reputation system to tell it’s a human
• Community-run moderation. So some chronically online sadsack can’t ban you from a significant portion of lemmy for life because you disagreed with them.

Examples? Top posts of the past month for r/politics there’s literally nothing. Got bored scrolling.

Most Palestine spaces banned anyone who explained why Trump was objectively worse so yes, the ones who created those echo chambers and participated spreading those narratives to the wider population deserve to be called on it.

We are. Your options were genocide and uber genocide.

I don’t think the dems care about leftists it’s other leftists who are saying yous have been had.

Why do they get a say

I was well aware of it. Talking about the global spotlight. MSM coverage. That is when real change is possible. It’s not an excuse it’s reality.

That change in the analogy does not work because they were already going after all Palestinians, my dude. So who is the family is this analogy?

Well, they weren’t. They ramped up settlements in the west bank, using the tricks they learned in Gaza, and now are going to ethnically clense the entire population of gaza. The analogy holds.

Clearly you and I just disagree on a fundamental level. I don’t care what noises someone makes with their mouth while committing heinous acts, and I do not see a moral difference between committing a genocide and arming the people that you know are committing a genocide. Would you also make excuses for the people who knowingly worked with Nazis and made weapons for them?

Well there is a difference, of course. Not everything is binary, there is always nuance. I’d tell you to vote for the nazi’ if they were running against a worse oponent, yes. Just like I’d suggest voting for Trump if he was running against Hitler.

Public pressure has been around for decades, and the democrats were still supplying them with weapons.

Not really it hasn’t been in the spotlight until Oct7th. That’s when real change can happen.

Two people stomp on you. One says “I want the violence to stop”, the other calls you a slur. They are both still stomping on you. There is no real difference to the person being stomped.

Two people stomping at you, one pulls out a knife and says ‘lets get this vermin and his family too’. There is a clear difference.

Go look at maps of Palestine over the decades, please. Palestine was already being erased. This is like if we clean up the entire room together but then I let you put the broom away, and now you claim you were the one to clean the entire room. Just because Reps are the ones finishing the job does not mean the Dems were better - we know they were not because we just saw them actively supporting the genocide.

‘actively supporting the genocide’ isn’t the worst thing you can do. What Trump is doing is objectively worse.

Put it this way.

• Kamala came out and said: ‘Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters’
• If she had instead said ‘Let’s clean this filth out I’m gonna put a hotel here. All sanctions and blocks are cancelled. Please hurry up I have money to make. We’ll provide some troops to help if needd’

Which is worse?
