The modern update would have the other tables being bombed for existing in War’s space.

Remember, communities are more akin to private walled gardens than public open fields.

Most of the time you’re walking into someone’s house to make a post or comment.

The Fediverse is built on the efforts of relatively few individuals on their own motivation and convictions. There are no duties to uphold for shareholders or governments.

People are welcome to be as open and inclusive as they can manage, but there’s no actual obligation to the public at large. So it’s wise just to be respectful in general and let this stuff roll off your back.

Poor depressurized deep sea fish. That thing is dead from being turned inside out from the vacuum pressure of being hauled out of the ocean. They don’t look like that until we do that to 'em.

I believe these would be documented direct killings of journalists while doing their jobs. Not civilians who were journalists killed in indiscriminate bombing campaigns and death squads.

These folks include presenting a false person as being of age, then switching to underage at the time of meetup when the target shows up.

A group descends upon the target who is now told they’re a pedophile.

Then the group tries to kill the person who was trying to meet what they thought was an adult.

And the perpetrators think this is justice.

It isn’t the medical definition at work, here. It’s the legal one.

Ding ding ding.

Yeah I believe the next step in this process is to make the easy jump into hunting all those people expressing ‘Pedo apologia’. Half this thread suddenly is fair game to ‘investigate.’

It’s a bottomless well, really.

Hell, KiwiFarms style tactics is becoming more and more common and mainstream. It’s on Lemmy too.

The longest filibuster (against Civil Rights) famously included a curtain and a bucket.

The harsh interpretation is that Cory is only looking to shore up good will towards the Democratic Party faction that includes Chuck. Hence this isn’t actually a filibuster that might stop something from passing.

The more charitable view is that Congressman Booker is reaponding to criticism by demonstrating a level of action not seen outside an Independent senator and a handful of other house members.

I ain’t rooting against his effort one bit in the face of the GOP, even under the most cynical interpretations of recouperation.

…what makes the downvotes come from .ml?

Eyeball it. Gotta squint right tho.

Defederated instances aren’t federated to see the content that would be moderated from their instance to make it to a modlog.

Skipping across potholes of a fragmented fediverse will cause all sorts of screwy results, especially when you have communities and users instance banned navigating defederated instances in these topics.

Defederating unravels the Fediverse, which is the point for some demanding it.

Virtually every ban and removed comment found in the mod log from an .ml community gets a dedicated thread these days.

It has everything to do with how demanding to see the manager/admin/dev doesn’t auto-bypass moderation policies. Works on centralized social media where the owners and their employees get flummoxed over potential ad revenue.

Some context without getting too detailed due to it being considered apologia here: the 38th and 27th armies almost fought each other during the events. The 38th wasn’t willing to use force, and the 27th was all too willing, which precipitated a chance of civil war being sparked when there appeared to be military backing the student protests, or seemingly refusing orders.

Unpacking the tension of 1989 protests is way more academically sensitive than a Lemmy thread in this community.

Can fuck up a septic system real quick. Surfacing sewage draining down the yard and into the street is a bad time.

Juxtapose the term liberal with tankie for a moment in usage alone.

If being called liberal is interpreted as above, it is likely those are the same sentiments expressed when calling someone or something tankie, no?

That wasn’t quite it. The church believed the natural sciences fit within a framework of metaphysical doctrine. The church engaged in all sorts of research and experiments because they believed it would prove the truth. People like Darwin and Copernicus and such were all commissioned by the church to develop and research their work.

What happened was there became a growing body of work that did not align with the church that could not be reconciled. They did the science, they were just subject to the demands of political power of their time.
