Oh look, pathetic personal attacks and baseless slander when they have no arguments to counter facts.
The best you can expect from an ignorant lemm.ee bot with a one day old account. LOL

They deliberately act incompetent. And they have the same interests as the other side of the uniparty since they have the same donors and are ment to serve them, not the public.
And it's not their own controlled opposition Bernie that they want to shut up or furiously andsuddenly competently work to get off the ballots, but real left 3rd party candidates.
They have their Bernies and squad members for the sole reason to keep their voters running away from them.

Bernie, the guy who refuses to call the Palestinian genocide a genocide? This marvelous tweet Bernie? https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d200e7bc-08c9-4b63-954b-0a7973050cc3.jpeg Bernie the supporter of about every US regime war?

LOL

It was so cool. Until that moment the train doors close and you realise your very expensive player is on its way to the next station... Yes, it's still a trauma.

true, they're like the US dems suffering the consequences of their own actions

virtue signalling, they probably have their hands full murdering civilians so they wouldn't be there anyway.

They will not give up their colony

You people really have a lot of imagination in your warmongering, Russophobia and wild accusations. "Putin explained his imperial game to trump and trump You can have Canada if I can have Ukraine." Next sentence: "No one knows what they discussed In private"

I think this sausage man needs to losen his tie, his brain isn't getting enough oxygen

Don't worry, the US has already installed a new puppet, son of the old puppet. As usual, the previous one can be thrown under the bus after he served his use.

LOL, trust me bro

Those impracticaly large fragile things, failing in cars with the slightest shock? Never cared for them.
Casettes you could throw around, tape them if necessary.
Later minidisc for a short time and digital mp3/flac... So no thank you, like DVD's spoiling plenty of movies by giving up in the middle due to a tiny scratch these things were a mistake.

Yes 'humans' do this but I still think it doesn't have to be this way and a majority is not bad.
It is unfortunately easier to do something bad than good.
It's the sociopaths/psychopaths or simply greedy aggressive people who don't think twice about being ruthless and not playing by the rules that acquire power. The rest simply is put in a position to follow orders.
None of the people fighting wars want this, the people far away from the front who send them there do.

Who makes the decisions to do this?
And who forced us to use phones and computers by making everything digital/online? Are we to be blamed bcs we have a car that could've been electric ages ago? That car we need to go to a job producing more stuff for the benefit of stock holders?
Is it us that need to grow the economy for those same people bcs that's the system we live in? Did we ask for planned obsolescense?
Is it a coincidence big oil coined the phrase ‘carbon footprints’ ? You're shifting blame as intended, everyone knows who the biggest polluters are and why.

Garbage propaganda post.

After looking around it seems the .ml or .world is not really tolerant towards Lemmygrad of which they defederated.
The same attitude with Hexbear.

Example [email protected]:

Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account

Thanks again for the info.

Thanks for the info.

In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.

Definitely, I'm certainly not looking for an echo chamber. It is exactly the opposite since it's very rare to find something outside the common MSM and social media narrative. Hence the dissapointment with all the news sources mentioned here.

Also the left ones I know have less 'pulp', 'trivial' -or whatever you can call it- posts and more interesting subjects not covered elsewhere. I am also constantly surprised and impressed with the knowledge the users have. They know their stuff, put effort into replies, provide sources and useful info on sometimes very specific topics or events in history. It's vastly more educational.

Yes, not supporting NATO will get you viciously attacked.
Russian propaganda, Vlad, go suck Pootins dick,, etc.... All that is allowed but you can't return the favor so you get banned.
Same for Mastodon, and I don't want to come back to either of those.
I can find the same garbage and narrative like that on Reddit, not what I'm looking for.

**hexbear ** it was a post about "the boomers" and how they are everything what's wrong with the world and evil Trumpers. I expected better from someone on Hexbear.
I tried to explain they are not a monolith, their generation have achieved a lot in the 60's and did their share, sometimes at great cost.
Also it's a divide and conquer tactic.
If blaming a certain age group is not ageism (a standard no no in most instances rules) someone should explain it to me. Anyway, OP tried to get out of it by saying "boomer is more of a mindset" which is nonsense.
But mostly he got very defensive with the same result as in the non-left instances.

Lemmygrad I had a disagreement about how I personally don't see religion and communism as compatible. Not appreciated by my Muslim adversary.
And there we I went again.

These 2 subs I really like and visit and would go back to if it could be fixed. I don't even know how, like I didn't know about the 2 week lemm.ee ban. Suddenly you are logged out, can't log in and that was it. Didn't see an option to protest a ban anywhere.

What Mastodon instance did you get banned from, just out of curiosity? Couldn't tell you, it was the very first Fediverse thing I tried and knew even less than now where I was.

Yes I need to tone it down IF I per sé want to stay.
I admit I get full on aggressive when attacked and I dislike having to do this (or the results) but having to self censor out of fear doesn't sit right. There is enough censorship as it is. Opinions on politics can easily clash and I admit I can be very hard, confrontational and not diplomatic. It is fair for others to also not hold back, I don't mind. Grown ups should be able to hold heated civil discussions. But they should do it without vulgar insults or baseless slander.
I think that is a reasonable request.
Thanks.

OK, partly off topic: I'm new here and in the fediverse in general. Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong?
