Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

I just don’t understand why people like OP even left Reddit.
It’s why I try to get more people to read theory, the people leaving Reddit usually are the types who care enough to keep up with current events and willful enough to abandon Reddit over ideals, but generally haven’t yet read leftist theory.
To be clear, many people do read theory, they just aren’t the same people trying to recreate Reddit.
While I understand someone not agreeing with the way some instance or community is managed, I see value in different opinions.
Lemmy is great for exactly this purpose, we can have different instances and are able to be exposed to different ideas.
I can not understand the need of some people to limit their exposure to different ideas.

Hey, remember when you said you’d vote for the Dem candidate if Biden was replaced? How’s that going?

As with most time sure they meant, if Biden stepped down and a primary was run, not if he unilaterally appointed one of the least popular presidential candidates of all time.

Oh yes, just like I’m sure she was being completely sincere when she said all Biden had to do to earn her vote was ‘call for a ceasefire’ within the coming year.
Turns out when MLs don’t say a single thing in good faith, people start remembering and stop taking them seriously. :)

Given Harris has never and has stated she will never call for a permanent ceasefire, I have no idea where you think your gotcha moment is here.
