What do you want Israel to do? Discriminate against LGBTQ or not?

What we don’t want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It’s unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses “Hamas would throw you off a roof” as a cheap gotcha.

I wouldn’t really compare Bluesky to Mastodon. Ultimately, the Bluesky team still has control over what’s allowed on the app and what’s allowed on the network until third parties launch their own AppViews and relays.

Tankies are the reason why Lemmy exists in the first place.

Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it’s not even close

The hyperbole isn’t what I care about.

Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”

I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.

I don’t know why you didn’t say that the first place. Before, you sounded like a deranged asshole.

You implicitly said you would still vote for Biden if he “grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets.” I’d consider that to be giving Biden a free pass because although I’ll vote for Biden, I wouldn’t if he started literally murdering people with his own hands, and I don’t think you would either.

I, for one, don’t think we should give our elected officials a free pass just because the other guy would be worse.

Meanwhile, the average elected Democrat’s position:

Basically the same issue as r/FuckCars

I’ve started when lemmy.ml was the only instance, and stopped when !all was populated mostly by posts from lemmygrad.ml. I rejoined once Reddit cut off their API, and it certainly feels like the usual crowd has joined. So far, it has been a pretty effective Reddit replacement for the largest subreddits that migrated (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone), but it’s still missing a lot of active smaller communities.

My main complaint is that the default sort type (Active) needs to be tweaked.

Comedy homicide

I’d say that it is the Twitter clone with the best chance at replacing Twitter. It already feels like Twitter (in a good way).

It’s still invite only but everyone has an excess of invite codes at this point.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you !fuckcars@lemmy.world

I didn’t take them to be free speech absolutists, though.

That really surprises me considering their the lemmy devs’ leftist political beliefs

So they’re actively working to block ad blockers, showing more ads, and bundling the ad free version with a worse version of Spotify—a no-win scenario.

The Google’s breakup can’t happen fast enough.

Most people don’t appreciate it when you install software on their personal devices without their permission.

Can confirm, was an edgy leftist teenager on hexbear right when it was started – after r/chapotraphouse was banned.
