The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Lemmy.ml admins be like: "We're not so different, you and I."

Is that a Falling Down reference?

Because those who appease our new robot overlords will be handsomely rewarded! (Or at least tortured slightly less)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They can get appease of my balls.

I never got the motivation this "otherwise benevolent superintelligence" would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.

Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.

This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever read.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal's wager.

Pascal's wager is really dumb, too, so this tracks.

The issue I have with this is that they left Trump out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

That's the point. I'm sure it pisses off Trump to some degree when we don't focus on him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Trump is media savvy enough not to go full Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If you can't post innocuous things like this to reddit, what is even the point of going there? That site went downhill extremely fast. Good, fuck reddit!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Still okay for talking about anything that isn't critical of authority, I guess. So just hobbies and such. Serious discussion must be made elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 15 hours ago

It'd probably because Huffman/Spez is a Musk wannabe.

I wish the US knew how to protest

[–] [email protected] 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They should ask the French for tutoring.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago (9 children)

Teach us the ways. Just remember though, the US is quite large geographically and the cities are pretty spread out.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Just remember though, that excuse didn’t matter during the WoT or 1% protests, Americans were able to gather in huge numbers and coordinate globally.

But somehow in the last 10 years America has physically elongated until those distances that were doable before are now the biggest barrier to stopping literal fascism.

Please stop repeating this self defeating myth.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Are you saying World Trade Organization protests? I lived in Seattle during that time. I think protesting is good, but this is a takeover of our government. I know that it's giving the fascists what they want, but I do feel defeated this time around. We barely got him out last time and he cheated his way back in legally or he got his minions to do it illegally.

I'm focusing on helping my community members first this time and being a support system to anyone I can. I'm also trying to post media about actual facts and none of the hyperbole that is his firehose of taking over the media.

“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

The atomization of the citizens have had decades to fester in the US.

Single family houses, car dependent infrastructure, lack of private communications will all move people away from forming groups, and make it more difficult to organize.

Living in an apartment makes it easier to form a small group of common interests, you meet other people in similar situations, have ready access to private areas to discuss sensitive subjects, same goes for public transport.

Once a small group has been established, it is far easier to keep it going, than to establish a new group.

And once you have a group it is far easier to organize protests.

White power steering is hilarious. Who ever made these is great

[–] [email protected] 19 points 14 hours ago

I love the juxtaposition between the well thought out slogans and then just calling him a bellend.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Reddit removed it or mods removed it? Cause if Reddit removed it then they'd remove it from marchagainstnazis too.

Elon Musk is a terrible human being. I can't believe we are living in this timeline.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

The worst part about all this is knowing that the power really does rest with the people, we're just too stupid and divided to utilize it.

This was all so comically easy to avoid.

But our society is so comically stupid that we didn't.

Reddit is going from bad to worse damn

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure what this is about

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Not sure what this is about

If I were to give them the biggest empathy I can muster, they may just remove it as silently as possible out of fear of having to moderate the comments of bound-to-be popular post according to reddit's increasingly stupid rules of discourse.

Still unjustified censorship, very worrysome - but I could on an emotional level understand being fed up with everything at this point and just powertripping because "fuck everything, I don't want to deal with anything like this, I am not getting paid enough/at all".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

That's what locking is for, not removing.

Locking is actually better in that case because then it prevents reposts.
