16 years ago, that was Reddit for me.
Guess we’ll see.
Looks like I confused this comm with the politics comm, but considering this comm is following the decision of that one a week later, I think the reasoning stands:
Of course it isn’t. Your goal is to stifle criticism of Biden from the left.
We know this started because a (presumably, leftist) user stated they only care to share negative content of Biden and were banned.
How is one individual possibly manipulating the community if we’re all reading it, agreeing, and upvoting?
Just shelve the paternalism and focus on spam and other areas of rightful moderation.
If the articles are news, they’re news. End of.
Let’s not pretend like this comm isn’t overrun with accounts that (rightfully) post articles that are only critical of conservative policies and politicians. Are you going to ban them for not also posting critical of liberals? Must they criticize leftists?
This will be entirely used in a one sided way to censor criticism of Biden. I think that’s obvious.
Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.
Best instance stays winning.
Well it’s definitely not Reddit lite.

If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode, even if only partially funding the project alongside other funding from e.g. the EU, then I can well understand why he would want to see them kept happy - on top of what he may feel personally.
You people are so lost up your own asses, you will never find yourselves. Conspiratorial nonsense driven by your McCarthyism 2.0 with a complete lack of self awareness.
But I guess I shouldn’t expect anything more from a NATO funded user and instance, right? The Heritage Foundation and CIA signing the checks over here?
not merely removing comments, but also mass-banning from communities people have never commented in before
So moderating their instance?
and then deleting the mod log entries afterwards
Where’s the evidence for this? I didn’t see that in the original post.
tankies are advocating for a society where I and those like me would be killed.
Where and why would you be targeted by them?
The FUD spreaders continuing to spread FUD. You know what’s great for Lemmy, this platform you’re using that was developed by that Dev you’re coming for? Inter instance drama, surely.
Cold War 2 bullshit.
He’s the guy who’s overlooking her from a cliff when she faints in the desert after losing her arm
I don’t care for the drama on Hexbear. And I don’t care for it here either. This post is drama baiting.
The difference is that before you walked up and got in line or got in early enough that you walk in and choose your seats. And your position was based on your arrival order. Now, you walk up and sorry all seats but the front were bought up and no they aren’t here yet of course. Why would they be? It used to be you just timed it so you got there 30/45 minutes before the start.
I’m just yelling at clouds honestly. It’s not that big a thing, and I reserve seats nowadays often, but mostly because I basically have to. Also, theaters are only ever crowded enough to care during tent pole releases and nowadays I just wait a few weekends.
I just find the social contact of getting to the venue when an event takes place early/on time to get your pick a better experience than choosing a seat on an app early. Probably a condition from growing up pre reservations.
Assigned seats mean you can hardly just ad hoc decide to see a movie nowadays. You basically have to plan it out. Used to be “hey let’s see the showing at 6. Ok let’s get there at 5:30 then.” Now, you go look and people already took the best seats and shows up mid preview. Or people buying literally all the seats weeks ahead of time for blockbusters.
How fun.
I haven’t seen any blockbuster on opening weekend in probably over a decade because I know the good seats are already purchased.
Also, the seating maps aren’t great.
The no seat assignments policy on SW is awesome. You literally just check in on time to get on the earlier groups through a mobile app. Click a button 24 hrs before your flight. Boom you’re in group A. B at worst. It’s straight first come first served. At worst, you can pay $25 extra for the early bird to be in the A group and not stress about check in. Then then line you up based on your spot, and you just walk on and pick which seat you want. Plus SW doesn’t charge you to check a bag.
Egalitarian shit. None of this class based, money grubbing crap. Those types of policies are the reason we have “fast passes” at airports now and then of course then even faster “fast passes”.
Other airlines are also charging you after your tickets to choose your seats and they charge more based on the seat. And charging for bags. And everything else.
Assigned seats also ruined the theater experience for the same reasons.
Games “back in the day” weren’t made with algorithms designed to mess with your psychology to keep you playing, even if you hate the game. They didn’t design the games into evergrinds that only a few sweaty types and professionals can genuinely enjoy either. Old games had a logical, satisfying end where you would put them down afterwards.
Well, many old games were. Arcade games specifically were often designed to get coins from players, with extreme difficulty encouraging grinds and sweaty playthroughs to achieve mastery.
If anything, multiplayer and GaaS brought us back there.
Many new games, especially single player games, are still designed with “fun” in mind, or with even loftier goals and themes, many without exploitative gameplay loops, yet still with distinct, pleasing graphics, art styles, and polished gameplay.
Lol.
