I just want to take a moment to recognize the fact that you came here, a month late, to comment something fuckin so brilliantly beautiful that it still managed 3 downvote. This is the best. Thanks man.

Okay. Me too. Meet ya in the next thread where I’ll explain to everyone what a troll you are. See ya soon

Because you are a troll. You post lies and nonsense, then come to the comments of every thread and act a fool.

Which article do you mean? Sorry, I’m pretty dumb. Please explain your stance to me? What type of tankie are you referring to? I’m not smart enough to understand. Please elaborate. I’m a troll.

You’re a cancer on society.

What is trolling? Describe it in your own words. English isn’t my first language, I’m from Bangladesh-stan.

I only speak Bangladesh-stany. So, please elaborate your ideas? Gracias, por favor, arbor, de la puerta?!

Article? Which article? This article? I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

Sorta agree actually. I’ve watched his videos before and they’re alright. That title though…

Crippled? This is great news! The war should be over tomorrow

Old? Just check most places on Lemmy. The amount of tankie alts is huge. They’re everywhere on Lemmy. I’ve only been here a month and it’s clear as day.

This is actually an interesting take.

And, I almost tend to agree. They’re awfully tough to digest, even with empathy. Their tactics are… bad?

It’s almost like an abused animal that you’d like to help. But, it’s such a threat that you kinda have to leave it be. Every time you try to feed it, it bites and scratches you,and everyone around you.

At some point, despite the empathy, you just let it starve.

You’ll find no shortage of irony in the Lemmygrad scene, I assure you.

That’s why I came here too. Then, it was infested with tankies. Been a strange experience so far.

Ah, nice. I gave big world small Sasha a follow

No, it isnt. Not at all actually.

So… Sorting by All and New and you’re spamming this link if every Lemmy community you can? Are you just really excited about black history curriculum or what?

I’ve really enjoyed the few videos I’ve seen here:

True. But, the power users leaving will likely have a long term impact.

The thing that set Reddit apart from all the other spaces to settle down on the internet was that Reddit’s users made it work, not Reddit.

They had their faults; moderation wasn’t perfect. But, it was good in the places it needed to be. Reddit was also very good at attracting “experts” in niche topics. You could reliably trust askscience, askhistorians, whatisthisbug, etc.

Reddit has plenty of memes, porn and funny cats to attract the masses, but it was the power users that made Reddit what it was.

On top of that, Reddit was so customizable because of all the 3rd party apps that had polish. Apollo, BaconReader, etc., no ads and lots of options to choose from to suit your needs.

I wasn’t complaining about bias though. That’s the thing. I was asking for reliable news aggregation on Lemmy. Big difference

Nobody here seems to understand that though. Or, very few.

I know news is bias. That isn’t the point. It’s the posting of blogs, YouTube videos, altering headlines, using alts to brigade voting and push an agenda… Here, on Lemmy, not in the media.

The media is a known commodity. If I read an MSN article, I know their bias. If I read a fox news article, I definitely know their bias.

A bunch of edgy “communists” and qanon accounts manipulating the large news and politics community ON LEMMY is the point. Not the news

I think Reddit did a better job than you give them credit for. The may not have achieved eutopia, but they outperform all others who’ve tried up until this point.

Lemmy has more promise than Reddit, IMO, for well moderated news aggregation because they’ve seen the reddit model and can replicate it without the bondage of Reddit administration.

The problem, as it seems to me currently, is that Lemmy, specifically in the news and politics realm, lacks moderation of any quality. And, that’s not necessarily a shot at moderators either. They’re either new to the roll or there aren’t enough of them.

They also don’t have the benefit of year of users bitching and shaping the rules that govern a community, as Reddit has had.

Sigh… Nevermind. Thanks for trying. You and I live in two different realities. God speed

Man, this whole thread has tried my patience. It’s as if not a single Lemmy user thinks that current events are worth following.

I’m not sure where everyone is getting their information, but this response is sorta terrifying.
