Freenode is owned by Chinese bitcoin millionaires, and rizon is owned by the IDF. Careful where you go.

What did I miss? What’s wrong with hexbear? Are you just a transphobe?

What? Tankies are the ones friendly to trans folks, and the ones who aren’t denying the genocide. I don’t even know where you got that idea, unless you’re trying to smear them.

Hey good guy, what is the Hannibal Directive?

I see a lot more shitting on .ml than on reddit. I think that’s what needs to stop. If you don’t like it, fine, use another instance.

I’m from the area. I got like 5min into the game on launch, and had to put it down, as it literally hit way too close to home. Someday, I would love to revisit it.

The advice I give is, be the adult you wish you had when you were young.

This time, without trains on time though.

It’s gotten to a point where you not only have to read the entire article, as the meat of the story is hidden in like the 12th paragraph, but you also have to learn to read between the lines. Like when that story came out about marines dying in a helicopter in a part of Africa. The story wasn’t that Marines died, the story was that we had Marines in that part of the world, and then it’s on you to figure out why there are Marines there, instead of that article just explaining it to readers. And now journalists in western media also have to learn how to write between the lines so they don’t get canned by the people that own and sponsor our media.

No, but just from my own personal experience, at least the corpo accounts on niche subreddits are open and upfront about it, and use it as an official customer service place. Whereas the political shills aren’t disclosing who they’re paid by.

When I first joined lemmy, even dessalines had to jump in a thread I was in, and banned like 10 accounts for that reason alone. I didn’t even know who he was. I have a tendency to attract some uhhh, savory characters.

Very little young minds go to reddit for politics, I’m surely it’s mostly for their niche.

Unless you’re a jailbait, then maybe don’t fuck Spez.

15% of reddit is probably political, the other 85% are niche subreddits.
