Yeah, I use threads like these to block users. Can’t wait for lemmy to implement user level instance blocking like mastodon has.

Edit: don’t downvote me, tell me what issue you have with this.

What happened in Florida now?

Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.

On android, you can still select text on those pages from the switch apps screen (swipe up from the bottom, hold, then release on Pixels). Found that workaround on accident lol

I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?

My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol

W raised the banner saying “Mission Accomplished” what more do you want? Jeez.

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP

It’s my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

Or when you spell a word and there’s no red squiggly line to say it’s spelled wrong but you swear that’s not how it’s supposed to look. Then add random letters to the end to test if the spellcheck is working and it confirms you spelled it right the first time.

I’m so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We’re not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn’t try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

This post didn’t get any love so I’ll just comment this is neat, thanks for sharing!

This isn’t about their political views in particular, this is about them brigading comment sections and derailing from the original topic and shouting down anybody who disagrees.

Defederation because of political views is, frankly, dangerous for democracy.

What? This is such a ridiculous claim I’m not even sure where to start. Federation does not equal democracy, and defederation from a shitty spammy instance has zero impact on democracy.

Hell yeah, always love an anti-doomer meme.

This post is from RT, about Ukraine/Russia/Belarus but the biggest thread in here is rehashing the Iraq occupation. Can we just discuss the original topic? Is that so hard?

This is why so many instances defederate from hexbear, they do this in every comment section. Just turn it into whataboutism against the US, and add nothing to the topic that’s actually being discussed by the article. They’re basically lemmygrad but brigade comment sections more often.

I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don’t know what that reason is, but I imagine it’s probably the same reason.

One of my favorite joker moments in the comics! Always love seeing it posted.

I think it’s a meme from here tbh

Edit: wait, if it includes camera it would be this
