Strong gun control requires a police state, and it’s advocates are okay with this. Some of them (mostly suburbanites and the like) just imagine that that police state will never be directed against them.
Others are capitalists that actively want to inflict a police state on the rest of us, for their own benefit. It’s a lot easier to break strikes and enforce “work discipline” when the working class is disarmed.
Are there any physical obstructions between the controller and the antenna? That’d reduce the effective range.
I love these memes that turn into threads full of vim tips. You really can do anything within vim. You can even exit vim!: !killall vim
Huh, I’m going to have to try that at some point. It’s even got nim support.
I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues
As much as I would love to see it, I don’t think the lead devs of lemmy, who own both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, are going to ban themselves.

Oh no! Anyway…
I mean, them dropping a chunk of money for “political” stuff over software development is kind of curious, though maybe there is a good reason for it. In any case, this meme is sus as hell, and posted from a throwaway account. What are you up to, OP?
In addition to this community, you may want to check out linux4noobs as a place to post general usage questions.
I really doubt it’s doing much for him. In general it’s better to mock fascists than it is to ignore them.
for topic based instances. I was just looking for an updated list the other day.
I’ve got a pretty good list here: https://kbin.social/m/specialized_instances/t/186667/Big-list-of-specialized-instances
You’re not wrong, but I think there’s some merit to repurposing bigoted memes to clown on bigots. r/antifastonetoss, for example.
The original was posted here yesterday
To be clear, I’m just speculating about the downvoters, and I didn’t downvote it myself.
You already moderate 113 communities. I think that’s more than enough, and you should stop trying to create more.
comcreator has a bad reputation for mass-creating empty communities, which they seem to be trying to do here now too. Some people think that they’re trying to be a powermod, but I think it may just be a weird compulsion.
Y’all are very serious for a meme community
The Battle of Athens is probably the most uniquely clear-cut example of what you’re asking for, unless we count the American Revolutionary War itself.
Other successful examples mostly involve activists using non-violent protest to push for change, while using firearms to protect themselves from violent reactionaries that would otherwise murder them. Notably, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. For a modern example, there’s various “John Brown Gun Clubs” and other community defense organizations providing security at LGBTQ events against fascist groups that seek to terrorize event-goers.
It’s also worth noting that resistance is often worthwhile even if it doesn’t result in unqualified victory. For example, the Black Panthers’ armed cop-watching activities saved a lot of Black folks from brutal beatings at the hands of the police, even if the organization was eventually crushed by the federal government.
It sounds like you might be in a bit of a filter-bubble. I don’t mean any offense by this, it’s a normal thing that tends to happen to people. If the news sources you read and the people you talk to don’t mention these things because it doesn’t mesh with their worldview, how would you hear about them?
