Nuke’s behaviour in the NCD-Blahaj drama was quite dodgy. But the SJW admins cleared that up nicely.

This Community Now Redirects to [email protected] (Closed for posts until further notice)
Since the lemmyverse is rather small, this community, while of a relevant topic only saw a couple posts per month and limited discussion. On top of that, the only mod of this community (me) is having health problems and is unsure whether I will be able to be active as a moderator.
This has led to the decision of “merging” this community with [email protected], which is larger and has a more generalised topic. The theme of the community we are merging with is very much linked to astroturfing, and so any content that relates to astroturfing will likely fit there. In the future, it may be open to discussion to re-open this community, if lemmy has a larger userbase. But as of now, it makes little sense to have a community with a couple posts a month, when these posts would still be relevant and be seen by more in a larger comm
Hhahhahahha I love how MBFC is stroking its own dick
Long. Range. Missiles.
Yeah I’m all for killing the few politicians and billionaires doing that, if they don’t stop with warning. Because they are the root of the problem.
But killing the many working class people who may have little choice and not have the education necessary to know they are contributing to bad is counterproductive and difficult to justify.
Yeah. The right wing zealot behaviour of killing anyone you don’t like.
Partly. But it’s been building up in me for the past few months. Like I legitimately see it every day on lemmy.
fantastic explanation. Thank you.
Really relate with your comment.
All war crimes are bad. The germans were horrible genociders who commited more war crimes than we’ll ever know of. But it does not excuse those committed by other nations.
Stop with the murding half a million people apologia.
As usual. Yes, two things can be bad at once. I’m not sure why every time the soviet union, Russia or China is criticised, there’s always a vocal minority going “WHAT ABOUT”. Yes, those are important issues too. Make a post about them. Don’t try to excuse war crimes with other issues. War Crimes are universally inexcusable.
Trump literally said “disabled people should just die”
Unfortunately the examples here are serious. In that I end up arguing with the person and they defend their point that the person should die/be killed.
Appreciated your answers both on this thread and the soviet war crimes thread. Thank you.
thanks, appreciate this answer
Hard for me not to. I’m disabled to the point I’m unable to communicate in real life (lost ability to speak or hear), and am bedridden with limited mobility. So communicating via texting/phone is my only way.
Because it isn’t just “nice” not to kill people for these things. It’s what you’d expect that large majority of people to think.
Why are people on the internet (and Lemmy) so quick to say someone "deserves to die"
On so many different news items, threads, etc. People are the first to claim pretty much anyone who has made a mistake, or does something they disagree with deserves to die.
Like, do some people not have the capability to empathise and realise they might have been in a similar place if they were born in a different environment…
I genuinely understand, you think a politician who has lead to countless deaths, a war criminal, or a mass rapists deserves to die.
But here people say it for stuff that falls way below the bar.
A contracted logger of a rainforest (who knows if they have the money / opportunity to support their family another way). Deserves to die.
A civilian of Nazi germany of whom we know nothing about their collaboration/agreement with the regime. Deserves to die.
Some person who was a drug dealer and then served their time. Deserves to die.
Like I don’t get it? Are people not able to imagine the kind of situations that create these people, and that it’s not impossib
How did your comment get downvoted on a two month old post? Weird… Only I should get the notification.
I’ll happily be proven wrong. But I don’t trust Nethanyahu a single bit. He’ll keep the crimes going on till the election as he knows it hurts the Dems and he wants Trump elected.
Concerning behaviour on r/lemmy, by reddit "supermoderator" u/LeninMeowMeow
u/LeninMeowMeow moderates a large amount of big subreddits, r/therightcantmeme, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/animememes, r/greenandpleasent (a known russian propaganda subreddit source: Center for European Policy Analysis (think Lemmygrad)) and much more.
Anyways on r/lemmy, he says that lemmy.world is right-wing and thatcherite. I reply that it is more social democratic.
I instantly get banned from the subreddits he moderates and blocked by him. I have not commented or participated in any of their subreddits before, and this is my first ever encounter with them.
Weird and concerning behaviour. I fear that tankies are taking over most left wing spaces on reddit (not that I really use reddit for politics anymore, that’s why I’m on lemmy

Is there a way to transfer your followd communities
Hiya, so I follow a couple hundred lemmy communities and want to change accounts (to a different instance). Is there a way to make my new account follow all those communities without having to manually refollow? cheers.

"Mental Illness" are not just "Mental"
Mental illnesses are real. But the construct of “mental illness” isn’t. There is no such thing as an “illness” that is completely psychological in nature, ie. only “caused by thoughts and behaviours”.
What are called mental illnesses belongs into three broad categories instead:
Biological Illnesses
Many “mental” illnesses are genuine biological illnesses that have been shunned from fields such as neurology and stigmatised by calling them mental.
Ie. Schizophrenia (part genetic, several brain changes), Bipolar (genetic, HPA axis dysregulation + structural signs), Major depressive disorders etc. I’d like to remind that many genuine illnesses that dont even affect the brain were called mental illnesses before we fully figured the pathology out. From peptic ulcer to lupus.
difficult living conditions manifesting through changes in behaviour
ie. Some cases of anxiety disorder (maybe its normal to be anxious in the case you’re living, ie. stressful 9-5 with lots of responsibi
