It depends on your definition of awful. People with opposing opinions, perfectly within their legal bounds? Yes. People violating the rights and safety of others? Absolutely not.

Have a turtle for your troubles my good fellow 🐢

Saying they defeated fascists doesn’t imply there are no more fascists left.
I can say I hunted deer, that doesn’t mean there are no more deer left in the wild.
By referring to “fascists” (the people) rather than fascism (the ideology) you narrow your description to more accurately present the scope of your statement. The German Nazi party were fascists. They were defeated. We defeated fascists that day. There are more fascists, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t fight and defeat some number of fascists.
Honestly, more of the world (and especially the US) was strongly opposed to the Nazis during WWII than the population now, because it’s been so long. Which makes the fact you gave even more frustrating for me honestly. Because we have the information now. We know. There’s no excuse for present day.
Replace the word with “fascists” and it makes so much more logical sense. And this is why wording matters
“If you could stop killing people by the millions in a mass cultural genocide, that would be great. Thx.”
These people never seem to realize that even at its most basic level, ensuring equal rights and freedoms requires a level of forfeiting individual freedoms. In order for everyone to have equal right to physical safety, you forego your freedom to punch them in the face without consequence.
These people go to talk about democracy, describe anarchy, then get upset when reality doesn’t meet their expectations. Your expectations don’t meet reality, bud.
Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?
I’m so used to hearing him called “Zucc” that it took me a second to figure out who “Mark” was

They like having no competition, by being friendly at first, then crushing us when we let them access our userbase. Defederate, with no second thoughts. If the Meta users want to experience the fediverse, nothing is stopping them from making a Lemmy account on any instance.
The content is facebook-oriented content. Idk if it would even really be the kind of audience that most of the fediverse would be able to sustain.
As it is, reddit was a concern for many people. Facebook? Not a chance.
Besides, large scale defederation discourages Meta from trying to weasel their way into everything like that. Don’t encourage them. They want you excited, but overlooking the massive issues.
Nah dumbass billionaires are dumbass billionaires. At least Elon is doing the work for us of taking the piss out of his reputation.
I feel like “great idea” and META don’t really belong in the same sentence
I have skills beyond your comprehension
Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.
It started as one easy to read bean can and I extended the transcription with every update.
Also I’m magic.
